Yesterday was pretty overcast. In the evening, driving across the hills on my way back from dropping a friend off at the railway station. The sun dropped down below the cloud bank and bathed everything in a beautiful light.
Grabbed my phone and jumped out of the car to photograph these lovely hedgerow flowers
.
The hedgerows are a refuge for all sorts of wildlife here in England and are just left to grow naturally for the most part.
The purple thistles stood out amongst the other wild flowers.
Having no idea that Sunday's colour challenge was purple it must be just dumb luck on my part to live in such a beautiful place.
Here is a photograph of a lovely cottage painted pink. The light was just golden.
Have a great week ahead.
