Friday Skywatch

This is the hamlet where I live. On either side a field separates us from woodland. The fields have been tilled and sown for the new season and are a rich colour in the early evening sunlight. The moon has just slipped behind the low cloud.
It's a lovely sky for Skywatch Friday.
We've had no rainfall for weeks now and the ground is dry.
You could even describe it as parched!
In the woods the bluebells will soon be over.
Bracken is pushing up through the woodland floor, competing for the ground occupied by the bluebells. 

I'm enjoying this glorious colour while I can.

  2. We don't have that many wild bluebells where I live, either. I hope you get much needed rain(just enough; not too much) soon. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

  4. Wow, that is really dry! I do hope the farmers get some relief soon. The woods, on the other hand, look fabulous with the colors that have sprung up!

    1. Pretty unusual for Blighty, I hope it doesn't mean that we shall have rain throughout the summer!
      The woods are spectacular for this short while.

  5. Love to see big and beautiful skies over open countryside like this. And the woodlands are a delightful green.

    1. I wanted to photograph the moon, but it is barely visible in my shot and very quickly went behind the cloud. It's lovely to have the contrast of fields and woodland.

  6. Beautiful pictures. I love the light of early evening as the sun is beginning to set. We've had a ridiculous amount of rain here, I think some would be happy to send their rain your way! -Jenn

    1. I've read that nature photographers are always out either in the very early morning or just before dusk to get the best light effects. On this occasion I was just lucky! Some rain today, much needed, but so far not too much!
