A Wildflower Compendium

I was hoping to bring you a lovely collection of insect shots today, as the temperature was noticeably warmer today. But apart from a brief sunny interval when I was sat  in the library gardens and  suddenly the insects appeared in numbers, including my first  tree bumblebee of the spring, insects weren't around in large numbers.

A few queen buff bumbles and hairy footed flower bees were about, but none wanted to settle again, and there were no butterflies to be seen.

What I was able to have was a lovely two hour urban walk, listening to Radio 6 as I love, and photographing the various new species of wildflower that have emerged in the past week; forget me nots are now starting to appear and I was happy to see an early cowslip too.

Of course I ended up taking loads of pictures. Why not?
