Barnack Hills and Holes

The storm clouds gathered during our afternoon at Barnack Hills and Holes Reserve but the rain stayed away. Lots of Early Spotted Orchids, Pasque Flowers and Man Orchids to photograph. 

Early Purple Orchids

We completed our selection duties for the Cheltenham Salon in time for a visit to Swift's Hill, a limstone nature reserve near Gloucester, which has a wonderful display of Early Spotted Orchids and Cowslips. Various flower spikes taken with 50 macro, 24-105mm and 24mm TS lenses. Many thanks to the Cheltenham Salon for its hospitality and friendly welcome and to Martin for showing us the orchids.
