  Love them so much because of my childhood memories of bright orange, pink and red blooms following the sun throughout the day. Remind me of childhood summers in the garden 😁

Last sneaky harvest from the greenhouse before I bring the green tomatoes to ripen inside.

Burnet and Cumulus seem pleased to see me now I'm up and about again, but Moss isn't so sure. Time for a bit of broccoli bribery...

Peace of the morning chalk stream be with you.

Searing Berberis on my afternoon snicket ramble.

Made it to Rushmead for the first time in over a month and sat for a long, long while, just being present, under my favourite oak. Lots of bench stops en route, but walking at a pace slightly slower than your average snail meant plenty of time to notice the little things...

The crickets just love to sit on my dahlias. I think this one is a Speckled Bush-cricket.

Bit thin on the butterfly survey front at Marston Vale Millennium Park, but this wasp spider with its zigzag web made my week!

Jersey Tiger action on the lawn this evening. Hoping the female will lay nearby.
