The Blue Forest

This morning it was time for a walk in the woods !

I live near the Zoniën Forest and often go there for a walk and look for birds that are at the lakes.

But today I didn't look for birds. Around April/May in some parts, the floor of the forest is transformed into a wonderful blue carpet.

It's the time of the year that "The Common bluebell Hyacinthoides non-scripta are flowering.

Unfortunately this wonderful scene lasts only a few weeks...

After walking true the blue carpet I went for my usual walk around the lakes and this squirrel was hopping past...

As much as I love birds, the feeling isn't mutual... most of the time the birds all fly off when they see me-and-my-camera.

This  Canada goose didn't fly off... it's just ran away as quickly as it could !

And the Egyptian goose jumped into the deep...

The grey heron landed close to me, saw me and guess what.. it flew off,  but this time I did get a shot before it did !

and finally this Eurasian Coot was being very kind to me and stayed on his nest.

All I can say is that today was a colourful day !
