May Day Flowers

Today is May Day Bank Holiday. James and I wanted to do something to mark May Day. It is traditional in this country to collect flowers and greenery as a part of the celebrations for decorating the home, the festival site and yourself. In keeping with this tradition, we went out on the meadow to look for flowers. We didn't pick any though, because we want the wildlife to have them.
Here are some of the flowers we got to see.

I have been for walks on the meadow many a time before, but I found that with my camera I was paying far more attention to my surroundings, and I found the scenery much more enjoyable that way. We saw lots of bees and butterflies but most of them wouldn't stay still long enough for a decent picture (I think I got one bee and one hoverfly). It's been a really good May Day.
