I don’t usually photograph flies but this one invited himself into my shot of the snowball. The Snowballs start out being green and then turn to pure white in Summer.
These wood-rushes are common throughout Britain in dry grassland but I liked how the brown and yellow shading contrasted with the green grass. To me they looked as if they were bowing to each other.
These delicate flowers got a good splattering of rain but managed to hold their own. Most of them are starting to fade now though.
Spotted this pair on a long walk in the woods to find some deer. We did find the deer but they moved off so fast I was just too slow to take a pic.
This shrub is growing close to the pavement on the walk to school. Its striking shocking pink colour and spindly structure are unusual and beautiful.
Another pic of the apple blossoms I saw today. Was lovely to see them in the sunshine. The bees were also enjoying themselves.
Driving to meet a friend for lunch today when I spotted this apple tree and just had to take some pics of the stunning array of blossoms. This bee kindly decided to land in a suitable spot too.
