if somebody would get round to mowing the grass, those weeds would not grow. when a friend of mine was rector at the church, that mess never happened.

Now that's a real lovely shot.
Thank you Aubrey.

My kind of photo on Sunday, nice shot.

How nice to see the humble cornflower planted like this. When in Cromer yesterday I saw something similar. One side of the churchyard where the old headstones are had been sowed with cornfield flowers, the wild poppies made a beautiful splash of red....appropriate at this time for remembering the men & women who lost their lives in the 1914/18 war.

Lovely shot Aubrey - this wild flower beds look great. I have one of them in the queue for POTD - but not from the same angle.

lovely!!

Comment by: Anne on 3rd August 2014 at 12:02

alan ....those flowers have been deliberately planted. Have you not noticed some patches of grass verges are left uncut for the benefit of wild life.

Comment by: Aubrey Fairclough on 3rd August 2014 at 12:10

Thanks Dave(Oy), I did take several other photos and was very much undecided which to submit. I think Wigan Council does deserve some credit, the beds were really nice.

I noticed the same flowers the other day when I passed through the churchyard, thank you Aubrey for this permanent record of them.

To the snapper clan...this is what we on P-a-D like... no tricks a straight genuine shot like this. Nothing added and nothing taken away.
