Scenes from a Cycle Ride (2)

The second post about my recent cycle ride.

I photographed large round bales of straw in this field last summer. (Check out my cycle shot in the sidebar)

It has already been prepared for a crop of some kind.

These Daffodils grow on a village green on my route and produce a lovely scene each year. 

Its one of my certain stops enroute. I never tire of taking photographs of these lovely flowers.

The floor of this wood is showing the early green shoots of bluebells.

Bluebell Shoots

A Squirrel's 'Drey' used particularly overwinter to good effect. 

Squirrels make more than one nest including a permanent 'Den' and move between each one.

This is a crop of Field Beans in the early stage of growth. 

This crop is used both for animal feed and to produce and introduce nitrogen back into the soil.

Birds Eye (Common Field-Speedwell) can be found just about anywhere now.......

......... as can the ubiquitous Common Daisy.

On my return route I stopped off to say hello to "Black Beauty" who lives and grazes in a village Orchard.

The road home before entering the edge of the city.

When the Whitethroat returns for the Spring migration from North Africa, I will almost certainly be able to observe pairs of them along these two hedgerows as I have done in the past. They never stay on top of the hedge very long unfortunately and secrete down in the bush chattering away.
