We both managed to finish work early today and got another chance to get out to see the Stunning display of Snakehead Fritallaries at North Meadow, Cricklade.
The weather today was a lot kinder to us than yesterday, dry and bright so a better chance to get some shot's.

I have focussed on the white variety for tonight and as with yesterday I have uploaded a portrait and landscape version of the shot for your thoughts, and also a shot showing the meadow in full bloom with St Sampson's Church as a backdrop.
Fingers crossed I have removed all the Easter Dust Bunnies as well!!!

Thank you for looking.

I went there this afternoon but the light was not as good as at the time you took those great photos. JNC

A fritilaria frenzy, what a glorious place. It is definitely V1 for me, Phil, the delicately presented portrait format with the leaves curling up to the corners.

Hi Phil
I love this shot, the portrait version, I like the framing and the blurring round the image. I love flower photography and really like shots that have a painterly feeling to them rather than pure record shots. Excellent
