#FootpathFriday with a throwback to #Cornwall. In 2013, we hiked the #SouthWestCoastPath from Penzance to St Ives in the baking August heat. As you can hopefully see in this low-quality photo, the #scenic views were glorious!

And those colours ...

A wide, scenic shot captures a rugged coastal landscape in Cornwall. The foreground is dominated by a sloping hillside carpeted in a vibrant mix of flowering gorse, with its bright yellow blooms, and purple heather. The colours create a striking contrast against the green vegetation interspersed among them.
To the left, a well-trodden dirt path winds its way down the grassy hillside towards the dramatic cliffs. The cliffs themselves are dark, rocky, and jagged, plunging down to meet the sparkling blue sea. The sea stretches out to the horizon, reflecting the bright sky above. The coastline is uneven, with small coves and rocky outcrops where the waves break.
The sky is mostly overcast, with a bright, diffused light that illuminates the scene. The overall impression is one of wild, natural beauty, typical of the Cornish coastline with its characteristic flora and dramatic geological features.

Gorse is flowering. Wafts of coconut. Honey bees already looking into it.

A riot of bright yellow gorse blooms close-up in the foreground two thirds of the portrait framing, focus sharper towards us, against a blue sky behind. A honey bee with pollen clumps on it's legs is mid-air with its head inside one of the flowers. For those with smellivision, you can probably smell the wafts of coconut aroma.

From today's walk, which happened to be a visit to Ferry Meadows Country Park (P'boro):

1. The first winter aconites and snowdrops I've seen this year

2. Crocuses growing wild beside a path

3. Gorse in flower

ps - lots of birds, too, including a great white egret and loads of tufted ducks.

#WildflowerHour #Aconites #Snowdrops #Gorse #NenePark. and I should have added #Bloomscrolling <edited to make it so>

Yellow winter aconite flowers and three nodding snowdrops, growing through ivy (and dead leaves)

A patch of lilac-coloured crocuses growing through ivy and dead leaves

Gorse in flower; yellow flowers and dark green, spiky foliage against a greying sky. There were showers soon after.

Beautiful bright gorse flowers seen in sunshine today, ahead of the next storm, due tomorrow.

Masses of yellow gorse flowers in the sunshine, there is a patch of blue sky in the top right corner.

An old print today. This is Tin Mine from 2018, a three colour screenprint.

It's inspired by Cornwall (where are all the Cornish people on Mastodon?) and is quite abstract.

A three colour screenprint of Cornwall showing a tin mine, rock tor, fence, trees, a dry stone wall, gorse and a hare. It is quite an abstract print with details in the foreground and abstract shapes in the background mimicking hills.

In the foreground we see bog land with blooming gorse, and in the middle we see the Atlantic Ocean while at the horizon we see the Kerry Mountains silhouette with a hug sky with white clouds above it

this article is over a year old, but i've only just found it because i love seeing the #gorse all over our local hills & i was wondering if it's edible. a scottish government research programme has shown that it has loads of protein & could feed millions of humans.

through the arch to the sea

A yellow gorse bush, sun warmed with scents of coconut, has created a natural arch on the Fife Coastal Path. The water of the Forth Estuary is visible in the distance & the sky is bright blue.

The gorse is looking absolutely gorgeous at the moment. When there is such bright sun on them the colour is so strong it looks unreal.

Close up of a branch of a gorse bush. It is a very very spikey bush with super vibrant yellow flowers which have an amazing scent that's a bit like coconut.

Lichen covered tree branch in the foreground it's light blue green contrasting with the bright yellow gorse in the background.

Another close up of a clump of gorse flowers. They are a very vivid yellow.

Furze / gorse / whin looking across to Ben Nevis on today's lunch break.

Given the plant's sweet smell, I used to wonder if it was the secret ingredient in Drambuie...

A gorse bush in flower in the foreground, high up on a hill overlooking the Great Glen and the Caledonian Canal. Beyond that the forested slopes rise up towards a snowy Ben Nevis. Blue sky above shows through white fluffy clouds.

“Ulex (commonly known as gorse, furze, or whin) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. The genus comprises about 20 species of thorny evergreen shrubs in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae. The species are native to parts of western Europe and northwest Africa, with the majority of species on the Iberian Peninsula.”

‘Whins’ we call it. It is around a lot. It’s one of the colours of Skye. It’s just so yellow.

Gorse is closely related to the brooms and like them has green stems and very small leaves and is adapted to dry growing conditions. The leaves of young plants are trifoliate, but in mature plants they are reduced to scales or small spines. All the species have yellow flowers, generally showy, some with a very long flowering season. It looks as yellow as yellow can get and yellow looks the way that hot sun feels on your skin. It smells of sweet coconut when the sun shines on it. It hurts if you grab it. Go Gorse!
