The first weekend

The end of the first working week of the year got me messing around in the garden and always a good photo opportunity.

This handsome chap actually lives in the house this is our friend Leo.

Around the place we have lot's of lilies that just pop up, pity you can't post smells.

The drops of rain on the fuscia and the white roses in the background provides some interest in the background.

Bug hunting there were hundreds of these little orange bugs when I first pointed the camera there was a big clump of them but they scattered. this lone beetle stands out clearly on the aged wood of the compost heap.

Another on this head of grass (which is a bit long for summer)

Even the thistles get in on the act.
