Two more views taken during our hike yesterday near the village of Ter Apel, in Westerwolde. These lovely little flowers attract bees and can be found everywhere now, especially on roadsides. I think it's called knapweed, or 'knoopkruid' in Dutch.
Update: I was kindly informed by several of you that this is not knapweed but clover. Many thanks for correcting me! I appreciate that :))
I love the sight of these old and grand looking lanes. It´s the kind of lane that would lead to a castle, or a manor maybe, and you wouldn´t be surprised to see a horse and carriage appear. This photo was taken near the Ter Apel Monastery, and it must be one of the older access roads.
Linking today to All Seasons.
Zo'n bomenlaan is altijd erg mooi om te zien, vooral als er geen auto's mogen rijden.

That path does seem to evoke some distant past.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love trees, Marleen. This avenue draws the eye; it's so thought provoking.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love these too and would likely follow them to see where they lead. But not at night. At night they would be very dark and spooky!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat pretty flowers, reminds me of wild clover. Loved the tree line lanes.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLovely pictures! We have same flower here in Finland also and it is called apila =). Have a nice summer time <3.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe flowers, trees and the road work great together. I would enjoy walking on that road.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBeautiful pictures. I like old lanes like this one. It's wonderful and mysterious.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLovely photo of the clover & the avenue of trees is so majestic!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBeautiful, both captures! I have some similar looking weeds in my yard, but they're blue-purplish. Love the pink kind! Yes, stately trees. Many thanks for showing this at All Seasons! Hope you'll show us at some time the monastery too:)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThose are the flowers of clover (called Klee in German). Not weeds. :D
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love those stately trees. This looks like a very peaceful and relaxing place.
Prachtig, die bloemen. En ook die ander natuurlijk!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI agree with you about the 'lane' made by the trees. Your first photos is what we call clover and bees all over the world love it!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBeautiful photos.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLovely clovers, summer flowers. We do not have these flowers yet.Very beautiful photo.
