Wednesday 15th April 09

Cowslips must be my most favourite wild flower. When I was a child we used to go for long springtime walks over fields (now housing estates) and find these nestling in the grass. I've always loved their sturdy stems and the hanging heads. Near where I live now there is a whole bank of them and I look forward to seeing them each year. I stoppped my car in the lay-by and climbed up the bank to get this photo.
