Colourful farmland, Great Shefford

Flax, poppies and charlock(?) between Trindledown and Henley Farms. I suspect that the explosion of colour here is not accidental.

Flax, Great Shefford

The picture shows a flower, buds and a developing seedhead. The crop was growing south of Henley Farm. In the greater scheme of things the presence of the pale blue flowers was not so evident; see SU3977 : Colourful farmland, Great Shefford

Not Flowing Yet

After a very wet winter the water table in the chalk aquifer is very high and temporary streams are flowing in valleys which are usually dry. The Shefford Stream is one such ephemeral river which is flowing well this year. A couple of hundred metres down the valley south of here ponds like this have joined up and the water is on the move. That hasn't quite happened here yet but a few centimetres more and this will be the new source.
