Heather as far as the eye can see


A few pictures of the heather moorland above Blanchland in Northumberland looking fabulous this morning. Surprised to see peacock butterflies nectaring out on the heather.

    The heather is stunning this year. I need to go visit it rather than admiring from afar.

    You have a lot more heather this year than we have on Lewis.

      Guess it's a result of all the managed grouse moors around here

    How beautiful, Phil. By the way that your walker seems to be dressed up warmly, I guess that you are having the same unseasonably cold and windy weather that we're experiencing in the Midlands.

      Some chilly winds and sharp showers up on the fell tops this week

    What a beautiful sight! I have never seen heather. Would you show a close up some time?
