The story behind this image

Late spring / early summer on the island of Anglesey and the wild flowers along the cliffs are going mad trying to catch up from the unseasonably cold March.

Everywhere I look there's stuff growing and insects buzzing, and the heady flower aromas mix with the smell of the sea in an intoxicating blend that overwhelms the senses.

I'm particularly attracted to the pure white flowers of the bindweed which, according to my wife Liz, is an insidious weed and should be pulled out.

But I don't agree, and these examples, in shadow so I can actually photograph them without completely blowing the delicate shades of white, prove my point - just beautiful.
