Bluebell Wood, Perthshire Nature Photographer

I rarely if ever post family portraits on the  leavesnbloom studio blog  as up until now it has just been a celebration of nature.  Today is an exception though as a photograph of my mum has crept into the collage.  Last week my parents were over here in Perthshire, Scotland on holiday and one evening we drove to our nearest Bluebell Wood to see the glorious display of wildflowers. Time flew and we didn't even realise that we had spent 1.5 hours there photographing the native flowers and the surrounding landscape.  We'd left dad back in the car.........being in the woods with thousands upon thousands of strongly scented bluebells isn't advisable if you suffer from hay fever! - so I had no one to hold the reflector for portraits.

The shadows gently danced across the woodland path and the birds of prey were calling in the sky above.   Below us we could hear the sound of the River Almond gently flowing while all around was the heady scent from the bluebells.

I just wish this place was closer to home as it's my favourite place to visit each May.  

So glad that at last I could share this little piece of nature with my mum!
