Rannerdale Bluebells


Went to see the bluebells at Rannerdale yesterday, but they're not quite ready. Rannerdale is a valley beside Crummock Water, on the way to Buttermere. It's quite hidden away, but comes to life in Spring. The hillsides become a vibrant blue & there's a heady scent in the air with the bluebells. They don't grow as tall as those in woods or gardens, I guess because it's quite windy.But it was a gorgeous day, but still so cold. You can see how the water in the beck has gouged out some of the river bank & deposited lots of gravel, still lots of clearing up to do.
