It is so good to be part of nature. I love birds, animals, trees. To look outside and see it all is great.

This is so true. I spent part of this morning trying to dig out some ferns that were in the wrong place, in a flowerbed full of wild geraniums like these:  There were so many bees buzzing round me that it was almost alarming - honey bees, several sorts of bumble bee - but it's good that they are there. From my position on the grass I could look up at the rest of the garden and see the sunlit foxgloves, poppies, valerian and love-in-a-mist, and it felt like an enchanted place. |

 I am still recovering from the end of the academic year. I still have many students coming for their lessons and I feel tired. We have rain today, but everything is fresh and summery. I love bumble bees. My student is playing a piece called Bee (grade II Associated Board). It is a study in fact, but they a good image and nice tune. |

I took this photo a couple of summers ago. Bees love our teasels. There are sometimes several on one teasel head at once.  |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

Bees also seem to love our Ceanothus (which Lynn wears as a hair adornment after crawling about under the bushes seeing how our wildlife corner is going on!)

I wish I could see your photo, Mabeljane! I was surprised how many different sorts of bees there were, rather too many at such close quarters. I think bumble bees are so appealing because they are fat and furry, like teddy bears.  |

I am happy tonight. I visited my friends and we had a good time. We discussed Russian politics, Irish politic and we just chatter. We had a mixed Russian-Irish company.
I am so happy tonight.

Wow, This is really good picture, Andy D.
What is this tree? Do the flowers have a nice aromatic smell?

It's a wild rose, isn't it? Also known as a dog rose. See Schubert, Heidenröslein.. The hedges are full of them in country places at this time of year. |
