This gladiolus can’t wait for the party to start. #bloomscrolling #summer #photography

The hummingbird hawk moth has returned to dine at the buddleia! #moths

This height-of-fashion gladiolus outdoes the others. How can their pinks and purples compare with this? #summer #flowers #photography

Nothing quite like bumbling about on the buddleia. #summer #flowers #bees

A hummingbird hawk moth is a blink and you miss it sort of moth. Definitely bee-ing busy on the the buddleia. #moths #nature #photography

Horrid plagiarist! I have ordered-at last! I read ‘Ring the Hill’ via the library. I always knew I would have to have a copy on my bookshelf. Too brilliant not to and, of course, there are the exquisite lino prints. And how could I resist the much acclaimed ‘Everything Will Swallow You’?

A gorgeous gladiolus erupting into beautiful blooms. #summerflowers #photography #plants

The Upstairs Cat visits the downstairs. #NotMyCat #FridayNotCaturday.

Moroccan laminated pancakes, meloui. Took a while to make, several stages involved. Worth the effort as they are utterly delicious with a lemon, honey and butter dipping syrup. #pancake #flatbread #Morocco #weightgain

And it’s another birthday. To be in my late sixties feels rather incredible. 😁 Homegrown strawberries to celebrate!

I must go down to the sea again… Or, I must get out the paints again… Here’s an exercise I did earlier (aka 2019) #art #sea #painting

In this too -hot weather the upstairs cat is investigating the downstairs for cool spots. My bed is one of them. #NotMyCat

The upstairs cat taking ownership of the downstairs garden. #caturday

This beautiful bumblebee bumbled and buzzed in the poppy. He seemed happy with the acoustics. #insects #nature #photography

So they’re just daisies. Just daisies are beautiful. Just daisies track the sun. Just daisies close their petals at night. Beautiful, clever just daisies. #flowers #nature #photography

Summer Bee Poppy #nature #photography #insects #flowers

This bee models a striped onesie and over-sized sunglasses, set against a backdrop of the dramatic floral folds of a Giant Red Poppy. #flowers #bees #photography

Old adverts for cigarettes are…interesting!

If you see this, post or quote repost a sea / ocean from your photography… let’s see how many from around our beautiful planet we can get. #WorldOceansDay

Remembering those who died fighting fascism, 6th June 1944. Details in alt text. The weather today mirrors the weather the allies endured back then-not the glorious sunshine of our visit on July 1st 2019. Also my uncle, a major in The Reconnaissance Corps. He survived. #DDay #Omaha #TheLongestDay

Plenty of poppies. #summer #photography

‘No-one can see me!’

A healthy version of Rocky Road. And it’s very tasty. #hearthealthy #recipes

It’s amazing what you can do with a tin of blackbeans! These are blackbean and peanut butter protein bars. Easy to make and tasty. And you can freeze them. #proteinbar #vegan #quitehealthy #tasty.

That time of year. Bloomin’ beautiful! #poppies #flowers #photography

The Upstairs Cat assumes an odd sprawl on the sofa beside me. I am downstairs. This is not my cat. #SquattersRights #CatPatrol #NotMyCat

The cat enjoys the view from the downstairs window. The cat lives upstairs. The cat claims downstairs rights. #NotMyCat ##Caturday

If you see this, post a tree.
