As promised here are a few more photos from yesterdays Dartmoor walk on the Granite Way. Today the focus is on the views and nature. At present the air is filled with the aroma of gorse, sweet like coconut! The undergrowth is carpeted with the green of the bluebells to come in a month and foxglove leaves have sprung up for late May and June. So much promise of the beauty to come. Maybe one day you will come to Devon and visit Dartmoor. There are walks for everyone, the Sunday mile stroller and the three day hiker.Hope you like my photos.

Stunning! what a beautiful area, we really must make the effort to visit. Thanks for sharing your photos with us.
Lovely pictures Gilly. I do so love the moors.
so beautiful… I love all the photos. Is that yellow flower Broom? The bush. I haven’t seen that since I left BC. It grows like a weed there and was brought over from England or Scotland I hear.
Maggie its gorse, it looks similar to broom but it has thorns!
I like the pretty bits! Margie
Delicious. I’ve got spring fever but it hasn’t arrived here yet. We went from winter (sort of) to summer and now we seem to be in fall today.
Your picture have made today’s cool day warmer.
Amazingly different from part I.
Very nice ….
Ah so peaceful and beautiful.
Equally beautiful!
That is so gorgeous Gilly! Thanks for sharing this beautiful part of your world with us. 🙂
This is so cool! you’ve got a slide show on your blog!
Yes it took me a while and then I saw how to do it!
Are you going to boil your Easter eggs in the gorse flowers?
Uh what will happen if I do? will they whites match the yolks? or will I turn into an Easter bunny?
Traditionally, (though maybe not in Devon?) you’d boil white eggs in gorse flowers at easter and the shells turn yellow. Very pretty!
Really? how wonderful a new one on me but maybe in Devon who knows. Thanks I love to learn things like that 🙂
Wow – such an amazing contrast on your walk. From abandoned and lonely industrial areas to thriving nature. What a great day. Love the expansive views and the macros – the yellow flower is lovely and the shelf fungi too. Great shots!
Shelf fungi! thanks Louise I didn’t know what type is was 🙂
you have captured the essence of the area…so going on the bucket list…if I die impoverished I shall blame you…hehehe
If you’re dead you won’t need to be rich anyway will you 🙂 🙂 🙂
True !!!
Just so long as the kiddywinkles pop up a nice statue somewhere…preferably under their bedroom windows so they don’t forget me…
😉
Lovely photos! Thanks for the slideshow.
Thanks Fergiemoto,praise indeed from one as talented as you 🙂
Looks like horseback riding country, to me. And I do love those old trees. Beautiful photos all the way around, Gilly.
Thanks and yes you’re spot on, have a peep http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmoor_Pony
It looks like a place I’d like to spend some time… beautiful terrain. 😉
