A solitary snake’s head fritillary (Fritillaria Meleagris) raises its head above the dewy grass on a clear April morning. Not often in the North West of England, do you also get the benefit of a clear blue sky in April. Hopefully it will be back in the spring.

My pictures are taken with a Sony DSC-HX1. What you see is pretty much what comes from the memory card, with maybe a touch of rotation and or cropping.
I probably wouldn’t be taking so many pictures if it weren’t for the camera. It has been worth every penny as it has captured some great memories since I got it in 2009.
Feel free to comment on any of the pictures. I’m all for learning how to improve.

Thank you for your comments. Up there with English Bluebells, I think these are my favourite wildflowers. I’ve added to the groups as suggested

Beautifully captured.What a wonderful creation!
Wow! I’ve only seen these in gardens. I’ve always called it a checkerboard flower in my head. Wonderful find!
I believe one of their many names is the checkered daffodil.
