Bluebells yet?
Has anyone had their local bluebells come out yet? I went up to a local woodland a couple of weeks ago, and a few had already come out, so they may have even gone over by now. I hope not though, as I'm going there again today.
When there is a carpet of blubells in a woods that it's my favourite spectacle of the entire year. It gives a whole new complexion to the woods in much the same way snow does.

Yes, while at Hanningfield Reservoir about 12 days ago, Bluebells where just sprouting. I will try to get some nice landscape images of the Bluebells covering the forest floor. I think that will make a nice image.

The bluebells were just starting to come out the weekend before last at Marbury CP when I was looking for the LSW, but here at home, the trees are only just starting to bud now. We are way behind everyone else, but as we've been having snow up until last week, it's not surprising.

They aren't native here in Washington State, but nevertheless, they have been planted en masse in certain areas, and the bluebells are going full tilt.
