The rest of our Friday walk

[cmcmck]

We walked home from Coalbrookdale- its somewhere between eight and nine miles, partly in woodland and partly on country lanes.

This is the Coalbrookdale Road which takes you to Little Wenlock:



And looking back towards the Severn Gorge:



The hawthorns are now in full bloom. Well, they do call it may.





Sheeps under the Wrekin on the pasture in Little Wenlock village:



And the Wrekin from the Little Wenlock Road:



I love the way you can see the split between coniferous growth higher up and deciduous lower down on the slopes of the Wrekin:



And we took a detour into Wenlock's Wood as we knew the bluebells would now be in full bloom since the last time I posted from there.  We were not disappointed!















We were lucky to spot a herd of deer just off the Little Wenlock road. These are roe deer:







Nature makes art:



Growth on a path in Ercall Wood:



The oil seed rape is beginning to set. That's home down there in the valley:





Nature makes art again:



A view across our town to the Weald Moors, the Shropshire Plain and the hills beyond:



And that was our walk.

I love the sheep & the bluebells! Thanks for sharing!

[cmcmck]

Y're welcome! :o)

[yourlibrarian]

Great views! Can you usually hear the sheep throughout your walks?

[cmcmck]

Oh yes!

We can hear them from bed at times! :o)

[turlough]

I always get enormously envious when I see your photos - you live in such a beautiful place!

[cmcmck]

We'd known Shropshire for many years so when the time came to retire,we moved here.

Do you know the Brother Cadfael novels by Ellis Peters? They are all locally set.

[turlough]

I knew I recognised many of the place names! It's been years and years since I read any of those books. It's clearly time to hunt them up for a reread.

[cmcmck]

They are always worth a re-read.

Sheep! Bluebells! All of the green of spring! Thanks for these.

[cmcmck]

You have to have sheeps and bluebells! :o)

[earthspirits]

This is all so beautiful. I especially love the bluebell photos, very poetic. : )

[cmcmck]

I have to admit to having a love affair with Wenlock's Wood.

[sudden_serenity]
