Finally Seeing the Bluebells

We've lived in this area for 20+ years and have seen bluebells in passing, but never gone to see them specifically.  Why?  I have no idea.   I consider that  hiking and being outside in nature is a huge part of our family culture, so this makes no sense.   

Sensibleness aside...I'll blame finally seeing the light on social media.   After ogling over friends' pictures, we  finally got around to seeing them for ourselves.

We took advantage of a beautiful day in Spring Break and went to the Merrimac Farm Wildlife Management Area in Nokesville, VA and finally saw what all the fuss was about.

And we were enamored.

The trail and surroundings were lovely enough on their own...

but when we got the fields of bluebells...

it was hard not to be in awe at the beauty in the details...

 God's work is mighty and beautiful...

And I am thankful to have finally seen them in all their glory...

Oh, and I'm rather fond of the people in this post too...

Happy Spring!
