Purple Passion Flower

These are such amazing flowers.
We have had rain and this one still had drops of rain on.

Butterfly Phone Pic

Impressed with the detail my phone camera was able to get of this butterfly.

The Morning

Spent the early part of the morning picking blackcurrants.



Then cleaned then and weighed them.



Then Cooked them and strained them



to make black currant jelly.

How Can The Seasons Be advancing So Fast

It is still only June and yet the fields of corn, that is how grains (wheat, barley, oats etc.) of all sorts are termed in Britain, are already turning golden. The year seems to be speeding past so fast.
American corn is referred to as sweet corn or maize.

Pea Pods

We have not had any rain for a while so have been watering the vegetables.
These peas are about ready to harvest.

Lavender Path

The lavender up the path may be a little overgrown.
However, as you walk along it the scent is fabulous.

Sunny Summer Beach Poster

Here is a sunny summer beach style poster that I made.

Sweet Pea flowers

Just an early few, but lots more to come, if you don't pick them daily they go to seed and feeling their work is done the plants die, so are worth the daily picking.

Now wish the boffins who work on computers could get smell into the computer as these smell fabulous.

Peas in a Pod

First peas of the year, sweet and delicious.


 

Runner Bean Flowers

Runner bean flowers tell of delicious beans yet to come.
One has grown and has been picked and eaten already.
I can't believe how fast things are growing and ripening.

Lazy Summer Evening

There was no wind and the smoke from an evening bonfire just drifted across the fields.

Swallow Landing in the Wind

A stiff breeze makes landing on a wire a little tricky.
Even if you are as acrobatic as a swallow.

Summer Geese

This just goes to show that my thoughts of these geese only flying in a flock like this happens in spring and autumn is quite wrong,

Night Time Daylight

The sun had definitely set, however, the light lingered in the sky for a long time.
This was taken at 11pm and there is still a glow to the west.

Must be summer time.

Summer Strawberries

While at a wool fair I bought some sheep fleece. The lady who was standing next to me was quite horrified when I told the vendor what I was going to use it for. 
Slugs do not like to go over it and so it makes a super natural barrier against slugs and snails.

Here are some of our strawberries on black sheep wool.

Purple Iris

These are beautiful, hoping to get some in the garden soon.

Barn Owl Again

After some wet weather, when it is difficult for the barn owls to hunt, we have dry weather and he was out hunting again.

Elderflowers

Just so delicate.

Poppies

A clump of poppies.

Dog Rose

These are the roses found all around the countryside.
Their berries become the rosehips in the autumn.

Early Morning Walk

An early morning walk revealed dew drops on the barley.



You can see the field upside down in the dew drop.
