I have only seen the mere in the winter so it's interesting to see how lush it looks in the summer, and every year I try to persuade my husband that we should go to Shropshire Lavender but he can't see the attraction. Now that I've seen your pics I think I'll go on my own next year! xMrs Tiggywinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262841220840086776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-43706609917731277742017-08-30T15:24:32.305+01:002017-08-30T15:24:32.305+01:00Such a lovely post full of wonderful nature photos...Such a lovely post full of wonderful nature photos.

It's always pleasing to see many varieties of butterfly. Now that the lavender in our garden has finished flowering I shall be cutting the stems to bring into the house.

The first butterfly query looks like Speckled Wood to me too and I think the second orangey one is a Small Copper.<br /><br />I love horsetails - there is something so primeval about them. The Lavender farm sounds a super place to visit too - we once went to the one on the Isle of Wight and I bought a couple of plants, some soap and some cream for dry skin. I was most upset when the latter two items ran out!Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-65938510587450387402017-08-28T21:22:53.100+01:002017-08-28T21:22:53.100+01:00Beautiful photos.
