Thought I'd post some photos of where I go to take the photos in the scillas. It's an old abandoned orchard, that becomes a carpet of blue in early spring. However, in the past two years, the invasive dog-strangling vines have really taken over all the sunny areas, and the piles of dead vines are obscuring the short blue flowers. Some areas are quite a mess.
There's still some areas of dense blue, but most are under, and through the bushes
where it's almost impossible to get to. There's also a lot of fallen branches this year.

Even so, it's still an amazing sight, and on a nice sunny day, the scent wafting up on
the breeze is just wonderful. I love these tiny blue scillas!

If I can get my Bo Peeps done fast enough, then I can take one (or two) for a photo shoot among the flowers before they disappear for another year. And yes, believe it or not, I actually sculpted the three crooks today. So the worst is behind me. Now I just have to wait for the Apoxy to cure, and I can finish them off.
