But out in the sun today, with the freezing wind finally dropped away, it has been very pleasant and I figured that I might just find a bee on the rosemary that grows in the cultivated garden at the entrance to my workplace.
It's a lovely food source for early season pollinators.
There were no bees, and I was initially disappointed. But after a few moments I spotted a tiny flash of red among the blue flowers.
It was a 7 spot ladybird out enjoying the sun, our most common native species, and how pleased I was to see such a sight after what has been a very tough couple of months weatherwise.
I intend to be out tomorrow, and I hope that there are more sights to see. Perhaps, with enough sun, the first yellow flash of a brimstone butterfly might grace my sight.
We shall see.

Always great to see the Winter hibernators emerging. Saw one today on my pansy plants.
ReplyDeleteWow! such a bright pop of color. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteSi - what a heart-warming couple of photographs! We have had several pleasant warm still days and now today it is cloudy cold and windy.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a few bees out and about today, but no ladybirds yet.
ReplyDeleteWarm today in the sun, but then it clouded over!
