Salcombe June 2016 #10

by

This is the time to be in Devon, early June. The time of flowers, wild flowers in glamorous profusion. The floral will to survive, propagate and prosper is spectacular. Beautiful wild flowers adorn the hedgerows and verges - a range of stunning colours and forms.

The most amazing feat of survival is the countless array of flowers and ferns that plant themselves in dry stone walls, clinging, with no visible root form to provide adhesion. It's hard to imagine how they sustain life as there is no obvious access to water, except through rainfall.

Unbelievable, glorious. 'Oh to be in England...'

    Robert Browning celebrated April in his 'Oh to be in England' poem. I claim a bit of artistic licence as it's the month of June that has inspired this drabbler!
