I'm here because it's a place where I want to be.
What do I do with my life - still pondering that, keep exploring the possibilities I suppose...
I do have another more personal moblog Vivupclose
Take a look at my daughter Beth's website...
food for thought...

Some people become so expert at reading between the lines they don't read the lines. -Margaret Millar, novelist (1915-1994)

These are magic. What are those pottom plants. They look out of this world.
Caine says:
Pure magic. I sometimes think you live in the most magical place on earth. Beautiful shots.
Viv says:
The carpet is of celandine and they almost glow and I cannot capture it.
The violet is probably just common but there are lots and they hybridise as well.
The bottom ones are horsetail - always fascinate me and amaze me that we have plants that have survived from pre-history - another reason for loving magnolia
apparently....
Horsetail is a member of the Equisetaceae family; the sole survivor of a line of plants going back three hundred million years. It is rich in the beneficial mineral Silica and has an affinity for the urinary tract where it can be used to sooth inflammation, haemorrhaging, cystic ulceration, ulcers, cystitis and to treat infections. It is considered a specific remedy in cases of inflammation or benign enlargement of the prostate gland and is also used to quicken the removal of kidney stones.

thanks. Didn't know a lot of that horsetail stuff and I've read a lot about herbal remedies
Viv says:
Oh the bluebells started showing towards the end of April - hoping to get to Bolton Abbey this week and see them in their full glory - then I want to go to Grass Woods - where as you knoe SR they flower a little later and I am going to find the orchid field
