One of our pretty pots brightening a dull day.

Millstones below Stanage Edge. They’ve been there a long time but look like they were cut yesterday.

Heron, Christchurch Meadows, Oxford.

Those eyes Ellianne, who could resist these 2 beauties!
Last day of our Welsh holiday yesterday. I really thought I had seen everything looking at its best, then last night there was this!

Eyes to the front, we're off!

On holiday in North Wales, I must hundreds of photos from this area but can ever resist another one… or 2!

Today, Sunday, we went to Blenheim Palace Flower Show.

Cows in the meadow (couldn’t find sheep in the corn!).

I've just seen this stunning picture of poppies in the Countryfile book. The light is fantastic. I'm going to order a copy because there's lots of views and animal photos.

I just love those wild poppies in cornfields. I’ve collected the seeds many times but have never been able to grow them. Plenty of orange /yellow ones though

This corner of the park was covered in bees yesterday

Another poppy picture inspired by MiniMoon.

Stratford Upon Avon today. A bit dark and dank here today but at least it's dry.

Growing wild. I followed my nose this evening. Just intoxicating

I planted this clematis today.

Wonderful colours greyd. More bees at Tredegar House this morning and a couple of images from Dewstow Garden this afternoon.

Some gunneras, just coming into their own, but impressive.

Cows on calves on our walk.
