Woodland Wander

Not been orchid hunting for couple of seasons. Nice walk with friend at a good orchid area near Petham on Sunday, also a couple of less flightly butties.

Beautiful orchids. Love that number 1. Are they wild orchids?

All present and correct and a lovely butty to boot.

Glad you had a profitable stroll.

oh yes, all wild, these like chalky ground. Also a Greater Butterfly still in bud. Tks for looking x

Fab shots Polly and always nice to see. The Orange Tips certainly are lovely.

Beautifully captured orchids, and the final shot of the Brimsotne is a smasher.

Great nature type stuff, with some lovely flowers on show.

Nice set

Lovely orchid shots, didn't realise there were so many wild varieties

Lovely set.

I often fail to stop and take a a moment to properly look - clearly there are rewards when you do!

Number 3 for me please, Polly - love the look of gummy bears!
