Gransden Woods

This last weekend, we had some beautiful weather here in East Anglia.  We decided to take Cooper out and see one of nature reserves in our area.  This time of year there is a particular flower blooming in our region, one that isn't found back in the States, the Bluebell.  So, we headed to Gransden Wood.  Lindsay, armed with her new lens, and me, with Cooper strapped up, charged into the woods and followed the trails until we were "proper" lost.  These woods were blanketed with Bluebells.  Cooper ignored the signs posted about not trampling the Bluebells, and preceded to tromp wherever he pleased.  We hiked all over with Cooper off the leash and didn't run into any trouble.  After awhile, we followed the sun back out of the park and back to the car.  Before we left, Lindsay snapped some really good shots of a nearby Rapeseed field which seems to be one of the main crops here.  Within minutes of getting back in the car, Cooper was asleep in the backseat, too cute.

Lots of Bluebells
