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.
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.
Looks beautiful, from our house because we are high up I can see the moors, they are just purple, hope to get up there this weekend..

ReplyDeleteLove the sound of all the bees in it too
DeleteYou have a lot more heather this year than we have on Lewis.

DeleteI agree it does look superb.
