Thanks very much Annemarie.

The fireweed adds a great splash of colour to the soft green and white, beautiful! A good thing they let it all grow, we need much mir of that.

Thank you for commenting Gudrun.............I'm pleased you like it.

Schitterende opname van de wegberm.
Bij mij zijn ze ook eindelijk bij het besef gekomen om de bermen minder te maaien, nu zie ik ook veel meer vlinders en beien.
Hartelijke groeten, Frans.

Thank you very much Frans...........I think people are starting to recognise we need to do more to encourage nature and that is much more important than neat and tidy roadsides.

Thanks for posting to the

My pleasure John.

I hear they still cut them back every June in Cornwall (when they're at their very best) due to the Council's fear of being sued by litigious drivers complaining of a hindered lane view (It's true, driving on the country lanes then does become more problematic. But people should just be more careful!). It's so sad to see great swathes of glorious colour being mown down!

I can't see the problem personally..........as long as road signs and markings are visibile and the foliage is cut back on blind corners, road junctions etc, they should be able to leave the rest to grow! People need to take responsibility for their own driving!

It is lovely to see these flowers growing along the roadside now. Even roundabouts in towns around here are looking less formal and a riot of wild colour. I can understand it along some of the narrow Cornish roads, that Andy tells of, but it is a shame.

It's a really pretty picture Keith.

I couldn't agree more Rosa. Glad you like the shot and thank you.

Definitely prettier than plain grass. It probably needs to be mowed every year to prevent it growing up in trees.

I quite agree Ronald...........and definitely better for the wildlife. Thanks for commenting.

A wise decision.
Moreover, such a sight is a feast for the eyes.
Wonderful shot, Keith!

I can't argue with that * ઇઉ * Thanks for your kind comments.

The colors are so beautiful !

I couldn't agree more............thank you Ulrich.

voor deze chamaonerium (Wilgenroosje) is het eigenlijk nu half july ook te vroeg - normaal zie je ze in september- leuke plaat keith

Thank you Fred...........glad you like this one.

Call me a cynic but I think the various councils are all happy to leave the roadsides unmown as it saves them money.

But I’m more than happy with the results when I’m driving around and when I see such a colourful image, Keith.

Nice one my friend!

I think your cynicism is probably justified Maggie................but as you say the results are well worth it. Glad you like this one and thank you.

Ich mag alle Blüten, die die Insekten auch mögen. Wie schön die Natur sein kann, wenn man sie denn lässt. Eine schöne Aufnahme, Keith!

Me too Wilhelm and I agree with you about nature's beauty. Thanks for dropping by!

Das ist ja schön,dass sie das nicht immer abmähen,die Insekten freut es lieber Keith,aber es aich auch so ein sehr schöner Anblick :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))
