As soon as the lamb season ends in mid May my attention turns to the flower meadows that spring up all over the dales. The meadows at Muker are the most well known but there are so many other fields around the dales that are full of colour. It is very easy to escape the crowds and immerse yourself in your own private field. For four weeks there is colour everywhere and I particularly like the fields of buttercups which emphasise the contours of the ground. Here are some of my favourites from the past few weeks.
