Helping The Bees

 

I spotted this sign on a bus stop this week as I walked along in the freezing cold. Even in winter we should remember our bees and be aware of the threats they face.

Perfect Timing

 

My ancient Clivia plant has decided to put on a show and brighten the place a bit. That white background out the window is snow! I think the plant is about 15 years old and it flowers twice a year - priceless.

Through The Garden

 

I think I may have posted this mural back in 2024 but I quite like it so here it is. It still looks tidy with no tagging. The purple looks abstract until you realize they are legs and feet walking through a garden.

Where Is Frank?

 

I took this shot through a screen on the patio door which gave this grid effect to my pic. That lump you see is where poor Frank the snowman is buried in the 2 ft of snow we got last weekend. He has now appeared a bit but is still not happy. His friend behind him is not amused either.

Lunchtime

 

This shot was taken last week before we got 60 cm (2 ft) of snow.  It was cold and these little House Sparrows were gobbling up all the seeds that they could find.

Astonished

 

Every time that I see one of these vehicles I can't believe my eyes. And lately I have seen a couple in really bright colours which just increases the effect.

The Patio is Closed

 

This shot was taken before our last big dump of snow. I fear to think what this might look like now. Hoping for an early spring!
