It’s a good thing my friend asked me to go for a walk last week, or I may have missed these Marsh Marigolds entirely. There’s one spot in the ditch where these flowers flourish … technically its a mini swamp. A mosquito-infested mini swamp … ask me how I know … .
Quite honestly I think my head may explode … there are so many flowers starting to bloom right now and I can’t keep up. It’s like a parade on fast-forward.

So of course I had to have a bit of a play in Lightroom …

I always wondered what these were actually called, because here, we just call them buttercups, and I have an entire field full of them right now. They really are so beautiful, and I love the photographs you made here.
Have a wonderful week!
Thank you, Lisa! How amazing to have an entire field of them!
These are all so cheery, in all the shades of yellow. I do love the little white vase in the first image — so sweet and simple.
Thank you, Sharon!
I don’t think I have seen these flowers before, I love yellow especially a pale one. Now the mosquitos I could do without. This morning I have read about Black Flies and also on your blog about mosquitos, a insect morning of two I could be without in my lifetime. As well as scorpions in my neck of the woods.
Such a cool plant, so interesting and different. Sometimes the wild ones are the best. Such beauty in your photos.
Such a pretty little wild flower. I really like these little vases.
Love these sweet little flowers in such pretty vases, Barb !
Beautiful combination of simply yellow and green …
Have a nice week,
Sylvia
Really beautiful! :)
These photo are so happy Barb. Perfect little vases too
What a beautiful blog, your photography is fab as is your styling. Have just started following!
Your images of Marsh Marigolds are wonderful. The first image is my favourite.
Each early spring I anxiously look for the marsh marigolds along the walk I take nearly every day….I am always worried that they will disappear but they have never disappointed me. I have never taken such beautiful photos of them though! These are stunning!
