Myddelton House Gardens - In Full Bloom

 

Garden flowers

 

Several overlaid exposures resulted in a pleasing image of Spring flowers in my back garden.

Sunflower and bees

Summer's here!  Good to see the bees are busy.

Redbridge Rec - (Lock Down Walk)

I often walk across the Redbridge Recreation ground ("Rec") as part of my daily exercise.

Lock Down - Flowers

Lock Down - Flowers -

Spring - At last!

Not able to go very far during lockdown.  Luckily my neighbours garden had a good display of tulips.

Summer at last (albeit between the heavy downpours)

The wild flowers are thriving in the hot sun and heavy downpours.  Is all this rain a consequence of global warming?  I can't remember such regular downpours in my younger days.

Blow away dandelion

Blooming marvellous trip to Kenwood

The Rhododendrons and Azaleas were out in-force today at the gardens next to Kenwood House in Hampstead.   The bees were busy collecting pollen but I was unable to get a sharp photo of any of them on a flower.

Spring daisies

It was time to cut the lawn but I hate decapitating the daisies………..at least I got a photo of them before the mower got them.

Could not resist publishing one more photo of the bluebells.

Bluebell Woods - Wanstead Park

Another glorious show of Bluebells in Wanstead Park near the Temple.  Get there soon if you want to see them - they won't last for long!  But do not pick any !

Hay Fever

The wild flower border at Clayhall Park is in bloom - not as good as last year (IMHO) but still adds a touch of colour to my morning walk.
