The bluebells this year are magnificent. We probably say that every year, forgetting just how exquisitely they carpet the woodland each and every spring. It’s unusual to see a solitary bluebell so this photograph has a kind of nostalgic longing about it. Something sorrowful in those bowed heads, knowing their time to shine is fading fast. I cried while processing this photograph. Strange, poignant, salty tears.
