More Flowers and Roses

 

I'll start with this collage of a bee on one of out Fox Gloves

 I had been getting worried I had not seen any then this little fellow made free with them

 

I was messing around trying some settings on my camera when I too this one

 

And this one both of which are on our side patio

 

My wife favorite Rosa Californica 

 

And one of my Veilchenblou it really has some prolific flowers

 

I love the violet blue of it

 

It grows over our wood store about six foot over my head

 

The first time the iris flowered since we moved it here

 

Orange rose and foxglove 

More roses with foxgloves behind.

Welsh Sky

 

We finally managed to get out for an even walk from our Caravan on a nice evening with no rain

The clouds looked spectacular

The blue of the sky contrasted nicely

Some clouds were darker but at leas did not drop rain

 Looking back at the blue sky and clouds

When we got to gate leading to the hill I took this photo

On the way back a wide view was in order. Now in the distance you might see something well you will have to wait to see what it is next week

Happy Skwatch

April Sunset

 

 It's normal for me to miss the sunset and see the afterglow, this evening was no different

 

Best place was out of the bathroom window and after taking the photo which uploaded to my laptop and Google photos I found the photo had been enhanced by them

 

This was the original photo

 

Over the top of the houses a beautiful glow

 

Pink clouds out the back

 

A couple more looking south

 

Overhead the moon through the rain dirtied window

Happy Skywatch

Easter Sky

 

To finish off Easter photos this week some flowers

 

After getting photos of the Easter egg tree

 

I walked on along the road and noticed the daffodils looked superb

 

They looked great with the cottages in the background

 

Or the Horse Chestnut tree

 Happy Skywatch

Happy Easter

 

I will let the photos speak for themselves 

 Happy Easter

Watch the Birdie

 

Which is just what I do occasionally out of the patio doors at the bird feeder.

We get Goldfinches feeding on the sunflower hearts

One waits it's turn on the feeder

 

Two feed while a third waits on a branch

 

Two looking though I think they just dropped some seeds

 

Getting a bird in flight is not easy so I was surprised to see this in my photos

 

Looking this way

 

And that

Take Care

Blue sky and Skytrails

 

Every sky is different even the blue ones you see, there is always something that makes them stand out, towards the end of January I was outside and looked at the blue sky crisscrossed with vapor trails

 

As I walked out the back gate to the garden this is what I saw

 

As I turned left the sky was just full of trails

 

The sky was full of them

Happy Skywatch

Happy Valentines Day

 

 

Snowdrops

 

Spring is on it's way and what nicer that too bring a smile to your face that to see Snowdrops. I'd noticed them in churchyards growing so I thought I would show some of the ones I have come across

In the local churchyard you can see this beautiful display as you come in the gate

I was pleased to see the ones I had planed on my parents grave were flowering hopefully they will flourish along with the daffodils I planted

Little Wittenham church has more

Along with aconites

Even in my garden you can see them growing
