Following Foxgloves

Spent the wknd in a cute cottage in Dufton near Appleby.We were meant to be camping but the recent rain put us off! In the end though we were quite lucky save for a bit of drizzle.: )

Dufton village green.

Everywhere we went there were beautiful foxgloves.

Wild Roses.

Look who I spied up a tree!

Jake fooling about in the river at Kirkby Stephen.

Sparrow taking a bath.

Over the moors to High Force waterfall and heres a vibrant common spotted orchid.

Think this may be Ragged Robin flowering a little out of season.

High Force, Forest in Teesdale.

Lapwing on the moors. Love them!

This partridge( I think) nearly hopped out of shot.

Meadow cranesbill

 Anyway we were quite taken with The Eden Valley ( a little visited corner of Cumbria) and also found ourselves over the Moors oneday in Teesdale,county Durham which I have never visited before.Enjoy the pics....
