thankyou!!!!

[andrewnorris2]

@cinderellalifestyle I, too, adore Queen Anne Lacy. Most of these flowers I never saw in the UK when I lived there, though one heard about them of course, but it is fantastic to see them for real. Glad you enjoyed your walk.

[JamieDean]

Nice new work here Andrew great shots ,Hope to see more with this new camera , (what camera brand is it anyway?)

[brychar66]

You are a wizard with the photography Andrew - not only HD but with all the appearance of 3D. How on earth do you do it?

[andrewnorris2]

@brychar66 Thanks so much, Charles, 3D? I don't know. Maybe it is the newish camera. It certainly is sharper than the previous, old faithful, one. Still getting to grips with it though. Great to see you here.

[MissPandora1967]

Hello :) doing my "homework" lolol. this is a lovely vid..I adore wild flowers+have tons of collected seeds to plant one say..my fav's here are the corn cockles..very similar but in the singular to Sweet William,also the Musk Mallow+Wild Vetch in my old garden ..A purple grass at the beginning..looked alot what we call a Bee Orchid.My Mum's house is next door to Court Hey Wildflower Trust affiliated to the Eden project .We buy plants of course but the breeze re-homes them for free XSophieX

[andrewnorris2]

@MissPandora1967 Thanks for identifying the bee orchid. I will check it out. So far I have identified about 50 different plants but there are new ones appearing almost monthly that I have never seen before. Nature never ceases to amaze.

[MissPandora1967]

@andrewnorris2 Yes I saw alot of bee orchids growing up a grassy bank in West Lancashire recently,,really beautiful....I also oddly enough saw some growing down a dark alley in Liverpool.......I stumbled upon them quite by chance as I was eating a Sherbert Dab...do you want a bit?/??/) Miss P

Lovely to see this natural orchestration, the flowers in their own patches, each so delicate and colorful. I know that life in this field is not as peopled as it was, and feel the nostalgia, what with so few cows left in the village, no one there really to work the land, but oh how beautiful to see what happens when nature moves back in....

[andrewnorris2]

@HerAeolianHarp Great to see you strolling around the country here, you are right, of course, when nature moves back in amazing things happen.

[PassionateMistress]

I think that people will be people jumping on this in the not too distant future. You have captured something so significant, honest, beautiful... Before you know it this is history... Isn't it odd how we associate progress, time and change as having a devastating environmental effect, even stranger that a few snakes can make this anomaly seem a negative, though irrationally I understand Bara totally there!

[andrewnorris2]

@PassionateMistress It is a case of swings and roundabout here. The lack of people working the land has meant that the rich variety of flowers has a chance to show themselves. But, although the village is a wonderful place it is in marked contrast to what it was in the past. Perhaps people will become disillusioned by city life and return to the village, one can only hope. There are 2 types of poisonous snakes, rarely seen but one does have to be a bit careful where one treads, or lies down!

[PassionateMistress]

Andrew, I picked the best time of day to watch this video. I felt the cares of the day markedly decline whilst watching the stunning footage of the fields and flowers and listening to your calming voice ( new category: Meditativedocupoetry). There always follows a period of quiet contemplation for me... I think you should approach local English TV channels with your work. Older British ex-pats who may not be Internet/computer aware should get to watch this too.

[andrewnorris2]

@PassionateMistress Great to think that these films have therapeutic qualities but then country life has that effect on the spirit. I like your idea for a new category, too. keep the ideas coming.

[XaveJamesGrey]

Ah, the symphony of bird and insect songs is a gratifying accompaniment on this walk in the meadow. I occasionally take a field guide to try to figure out what is what on nature walks, so I enjoyed how you identify both the wildflowers and their place in the meadow. It seems no matter how seemingly rural where I live the sound of airplanes or highways is the backdrop for earth song here.

[violetparme]

Thanks for this new presentation of what 's going on in your part of the world. Since I watched your first video on wild flowers , my walks in the countryside or woods have taken a new dimension: I see so many more things, more flowers for that matter!

[andrewnorris2]

@violetparme That is such a kind compliment. When we all open our eyes just a little bit wider it is amazing what we can see. Good to see you here again.

[Nymphaie]

Very beautiful countryside you have captured here Andrew and I particularly enjoyed the village woman reminiscing about the past way of life and its many stories. The native flowers are exquisite and what a rich source of inspiration both must be for you.

[andrewnorris2]

@Nymphaie Thanks very much. There are more stories in store from the village women, the source of some wonderful stories. The village is really an unending inspiration, i am glad you visited.

[xyzllii]

Really lovely video Andrew...!

[twinnumber3]

Beautiful, Andrew! I recognize many familiar Americanized wildflowers- though not tassel hyacinth, which is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your eye for beauty and your wonderful descriptive words.

[andrewnorris2]

@twinnumber3 Thanks for taking this walk through the country here, it is full of surprises but I am really glad you recognise some of the flowers. Best to you

[Idlinfarm]

Thank  you for this enchanting video. Beautiful.

[andrewnorris2]

@Idlinfarm My pleasure, Ida.

[heatherlynblue]

: )

beautiful... and beautifully done. i think you've created a new category of film... maybe it could be called docupoetry. i love these images and stories from your village, andrew. thank you so much for making them.

[andrewnorris2]

@heatherlynblue Hiya, you know I was also thinking what genre these films might fit into, I really like your suggestion. Good to see you here, as always

[GilesConradWatson]

What a pleasure this was to watch! Your meadows make an interesting comparison with the ones we encounter here: some of the flowers you feature are common here, but others, such as the corn-cockle, are not, and your video helps me to imagine what an English hay meadow might have been like a century ago. The lizard orchid, and the shot of an ant negotiating its flowers, is a real treat.

[andrewnorris2]

@GilesConradWatson Giles, you know I had to come here to find out what a corn cockle looked like, having heard its name in poetry and in folk lore. There is much about this country which makes me think what England might have been like a century ago. The lizard orchid was a real find though. I have photographed many flowers here and identified about 50 of them. Thanks for visiting
