Orchids Revisited

I had an urge to find and photograph wild orchids, but had left it too late to visit the potential "hot spots" in my area. Instead I searched the back catalogue and found evidence of their presence in mid June in the nearby, and walkable, country park, so set off to investigate.

It was a stretch of the memory to find the location, but eventually I tracked it down and found to my delight that the heath-spotted orchids were starting to bloom. 

Photographic urge satisfied, I walked a little further to the leisure centre in the heart of the park and grabbed an ice cream to celebrate the effort, thereby undoing all the health benefits of the walk into the park and back!
