WFV Tuesday 16th April Yorkshire Sculpture Park
The weather has been a major consideration when planning a Bees trip over the winter months. March and April have been horrendous months with high rainfall, strong winds and low temperatures. However the good news was that Tuesday 16th was fine with some sunshine, no winds and varying temperatures.
This was a visit when 8 of us enjoyed a walk enabling us to experience the delight of spring flora, flowering shrubs, trees in leaf, bird song and sightings as well as refreshing our memories of previous visits.
After a very slow start we meandered in the direction of the Upper Lake taking in the sculptures that lined the route. They were challenging to our intellect and appreciation. On our descent we examined a grassy slope for Slender Speedwell, Common Dog Violet and Primrose. Goldilocks Buttercup was seen on the side of the gravel path. We passed through a wonderful arboretum .
