Just some Colour from the Cemetery

Last day of holiday - never go to go to cricket nets but I did get out for a nice walk this afternoon. I always thought it was a bit cold for cricket, and believe me it was freezing today, but I'm worried about going in to the new season next weekend cold and out of practice!

Despite the low temperatures there were a few pollinators out today; mainly various small hoverfly species but a couple of queen buffy bumblies as well. I managed to get a shot of one as well as it sheltered in a fallen magnolia petal.

Lots of what looks like baby saxifrage poised to overwhelm the cemetery. Soon it will all be white!

  4. What beautiful spring flowers ... and I love red tulips! I have hardly seen a bluebell so far, but our flowering cherries are at or just over their prime. Thank you for your stone circle comment.
