Don - Slackwater (
My friend, David, pointed out this growth of blue bells the other morning. They are known as blue bells, hare bell, bluebell of Scotland. Another old name is Witches’ Thimble. Nat’l Audubon Society book.
Wow, so many of them in one place!

I like the processing for this one. It is an interesting take on these flowers.

Beautiful capture of these wonderful flowers. We don't have any here!

Now I would have said they were 'Canterbury Bells'. Witches Thimble is a good one though. So it goes :) Nice light on the bells.

I'm usually seduced into taking photos of the bluebells each year but I haven't seen any I like thus far. However, I do like your photo of them.

Wonderful composition so close to the flowers in this tall frame. It really underscores the height of these blue bells. I love the color here and the deep contrast and tones.

Beautiful I love Blue Bells, such a great flower.

I love the Christmas tree effect that this photo has - little ones at the top - different stages of bloom - and the big wonderful bells at the bottom - and the others plants on the sides.
Beautiful.

Gorgeous capture, Don. Superb selective focus and detail.

And on top of all those names you have English and French Blue Bells too. A delightful image Don.

I think Blue Bells suits them better than Witches' Thimble. They're pretty.

Just beautiful, no matter what you call them!!!!

I like that Witches' Thimble name. ;-) But, they are beautiful by any name.

Exceptional image, Don. It has a faded feeling in spots...like old memories.

I have known them as hare bells in the mountains in Colorado, usually growing near streams. Great shot.

they are superb! and this close-up shows their beauty perfectly!

Nice color and detail, but perhaps a little busy with the almost "W" composition of the three plants.
