April flowers

I decided to rise from my bed very early this morning as there was some light rain overnight. The weather was to brighten up mid-morning and strong sun was expected. I’m not an early morning person, but I felt by late morning I would be going home, which was the case. Intense sunlight around 9 30 meant things got a lot more challenging. The bluebells were just beginning to make an appearance in the little river glen near my home, but another couple of weeks and there should be a lot more variety. Here are a few quick shots I processed.
