Aside from the flooding, which although alarming looking is nothing compared to the great floods of 2001 where the entire Riverside Park was underwater and The Barge pub ended up 50 metres off shore, is the appearance of bees in mid November.
Although most pollinator friendly plants are long past flowering, there are still the odd patches of verbena or lavender in bloom, and it was on lavender in a tiny front garden - more like a window box - where I found some very active bees on a sunny day this week.
They were too fast moving to photograph easily, but I got a couple of snaps, and seeing them brought me great joy.

Beautiful photos of flowers and bees. Some days ago I had the luck to visit England and to see myself that there are still many plants blooming, at least in the south-east. :)
ReplyDeleteWatching the TV news, I recognised the name Newark... It's very sad. It seems to me, however, that the English are very effective in recovering after a flood. Take care!
I hope the bees survive. Glad you are not flooded.

ReplyDeleteSorry about the flooding.
