First entry and a new image from Blarney Castle and Gardens that I was saving. Love the markings on this flower, Snake’s Head Fritillary.

For me the season of spring is of regeneration, flowers, blossoms and new born lambs frolicking in the fields. More images to co0me this week.
A classic bloom of Spring. Beautiful image

Fantastic picture, Mick. I have a fairy in a children’s story called, Tulip, would love your permission to use the pattern on this photo for one of her dresses, it’s brilliant, sort of kilt like don’t you think?
