Lots of nice shots there, Don.  I like the first wide-angle landscape,
and the other interesting perspectives you captured.  And the
bluebells -- those are plentiful around my neighborhood, too, and
every year I think about photographing a few nearby lawns... haven't
yet, though, and now they have gone past.  Next year...

C'mon spring!
