Buttercup field, Woodham Ferrers 

Buttercup field, Woodham Ferrers. Visited the Chapel at Woodham Ferrers this morning and the field next to it was a beautiful sight. There were buttercups as far as you could see and so I captured this one with my mobile phone. The flowers were two to three feet high they seemed to cover the field as far as the eye could see. Not the best image I have ever captured, as I had made the mistake of not having my camera with me. Its also a shame about the pylons in the distance. I did try to crop them out, but it removed the aspect of distance from the image.

I love the way the buttercups form up in waves across the field. The still image won’t show how, when the wind blew the waves of different coloured plants moved in the breeze. It was akin to water moving on the sea. I hope that this tells us that summer has arrived and will stay for a few months! Woodham Ferrers is in Essex, not far from Chelmsford.
