The garden is alive with blooms – the contrasting colours are rather lovely.

Bought some flowers for my neighbour for Chinese New Year – yellow and red roses – but quickly had to take a few shots and try a few effects before I gave them away – shhh!

While I was outside trying to find a nice spot to take pics of my flowers I was surprised by this unexpected visitor. Must say that it moved rather quickly.

The shades of Autumn are really heartwarming and these clusters of Pyracantha (Firethorn) were striking on a cloudy day.

Although most flowering plants are on their way out this time of year this patch of Black-eyed Susans was still striking and beautiful.

The dramatic yellow splash of colour produced by the Forsythia is lovely to behold. Its as though it beckons to the sun to finally show its face. Often there is not much else flowering when they first appear making them very noticable.
Took a lovely walk in the sunshine with a group of school Moms yesterday and stopped for a pub lunch. This pretty arrangement was rather eye-catching.
The male catkins of this Pussy Willow were laden with pollen and I was surprised not to see more bees.
Lovely to be out in the sunshine and see the crocuses opening their hearts to the warm rays. Bees were having a good day too.
Strikingly yellow leaves calling out for Autumn
