Wild Orchids (Spain)

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

Out on one of our walks in Spain, we stumbled across these orchids up in the hills. I was so excited to find not just one wild orchid type, but three! I have found a few wild orchids in the UK while out walking the dogs but never with a camera in hand. Spain however is vastly different, wildlife and insects literally just lying around. Sometimes I figured it was just too hot to do anything, for them included. Which was great for photo opportunities (hence the abundance of photos I have from spending just two years there). But these were a real treat to see.

Daffodils

Beautiful and bright flowers, reminds me of my birthday being in the Spring so I always get excited when I see them. My grandparents used to have a meadow nearby which in the spring was covered in daffodils and summer covered in bluebells so they represent happy times. I can definitely see my love of nature started very young.

Japanese pink anemone

I finally got around to filing the multitude of photographs I have taken over the last 6 years. It’s only now I can start to fully appreciate the amount of different flowers that I have seen. So far I have named over 60 and haven’t quite finished. Sorry if flowers aren’t your thing, there’s going to be a lot more coming up! Starting with the Japanese anemone which we had in abundance in the UK where I used to live. A very pretty flower.
