I’ve finished editing and sharing a series of photos showcasing spring flowers in the woods in #CartonHouse near #Maynooth. I really like how they came out, and I hope you notice they’re a little different to typical flower macros.

2026-04 — Spring Flowers in Carton Woods, a Series by Bart Busschots — Glass

Inspired the April 2026 monthly featured tag here on Glass I tweaked my walking habits to route through some of the woodland trials in Carton House estate east …

These tiny little yellowy-green Opposite-leaved Golden-Saxifrage flowers are easy to miss, but I love the unusual texture they give our woodlands. I snapped these along one of the woodland trails in #CartonHouse near #Maynooth. #Bloomscrolling

P.S., was glad I wore my trusty Merrell hiking shoes! 🙂

These lovely yellow Lesser Celandines are carpeting the clear areas under the trees along the trails in #CartonHouse near #Maynooth ATM. The more showy blue & white carpets of Bluebells & wild garlic that will follow get all the attention, but I love these little yellow suns 🙂 #Bloomscolling
Wild violets on the forest floor along a woodland trail in #CartonHouse near #Maynooth. These tiny little gems are easy to overlook, but they are so pretty with their intricate little details! #Bloomscrolling

Inspired by this month’s category on https://glass.photo (forest) I stretched out my walk today to spend some time on the woodland trial in #CartonHouse near #Maynooth. Lots of stuff for me to sort through and edit over the next few days, but these little primroses along the path were instant keepers! #Bloomscrolling
