They are beautiful Ed but I love v 1, 2, and 3 especially. I think bluebells on mass are one of my favourite flowers.

Hi Ed
Can't remember when I last walked in the forest :-(
With you lovely collection, you are my safe belt not to be urbanized to death in Prague
---------
To your question:
The latest two photos are from a travel trade fair where the folks of travel agencies played pricks to us to seduce visitors to go to their places.
The photo characters are from Duchcov, a small town in CZ where in a local castle Casanova spent his last years.
Cheers
