Saturday Morning Bike Ride.

Off at 7:30am. A glorious morning for the last day of May.

 Silent watcher.

Love the tree-topped hill in the middle distance.

Much zoomed and blurry, but I liked the little bird on the fence post.

Dog rose.

 The tree at the corner.

 Cows on the hill. They look almost like blossom petals blown from the hawthorn tree.

A different view of the tree at the corner.

A favourite post.

Poppies!

I'd forgotten this little patch of poppies was here, a welcome sight.

Tree-topped field.

Not a cloud in the sky.

A little patch of buttercups in the field. Last year we had masses of buttercups, this year it's the cow parsely that has been outstanding.

Quite flat in these parts.

A swallow I think. He was a bit far away for me to see him properly.

 Rhodedendrons.

 I like the view of the trees from round this corner.

Field of ripening corn.

 Cow parsley against blue sky. Quite a different effect to my last cow-parsley-from-underneath shots just last week.

Posts and poles.

 Bike shot.

 Glasgow tower blocks on the horizon.

Bluebells flowering still in shady sheltered spots.

This time with added cow parsley.

I wish I'd taken time to sit for a few minutes on this bench, it looks so inviting now.Downhill from here all the way home...

Such a gorgeous morning it was. Different story today, rain again!
