Having stomped in and mardily announced to R that I hated every photograph I took today, on closer examination I found that I actually like these two quite a lot. So much, in fact, that I couldn’t choose between them, … Continued

I can’t honestly say that I wasn’t nervous about this. Usually R and I make big purchasing decisions like this together, and slowly, with lots of research and discussion. This time though, R wasn’t well enough to get involved, so … Continued

Today’s photo is essentially a reprise of yesterday’s, but with less water and more bee. The bee is a male Early Bumblebee (Bombus pratorum), which is demonstrated by his unique colouring. Male Red-tailed Bumblebees (Bombus lapidarius) are also yellow, black … Continued

I stayed dry in the house for most of the morning, while keeping an eye out of the kitchen window for even the briefest let-up in the downpour. It never arrived, but in the end the need to put the … Continued

Looking at this, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it was a nice day, but it was not. The ferocious wind and periodic bouts of lashing rain have had me almost at screaming pitch, and by this afternoon I was … Continued

Slender groundhopper

“Good grief!” I said, throwing my bum into reverse, and skidding to a halt. “Who on earth are you??” Carefully kneeling down next to the geraniums on which he was basking, I chatted away to him in a way that … Continued

I spent a while down in the wild garden this morning, acting as safety monitor while R did some chainsaw tree surgery, fifteen feet up a ladder. Once he was safely back down at ground level I went back to … Continued

This is a thick-legged flower beetle (Oedemera nobilis), though being a female and keeping herself in trim she doesn’t have the thunder thighs that readily identify males of the species, and give it its common name. She’s also a more … Continued

Frost

by JDO | posted in: Flowers and plants, My garden, Weather, Worcestershire | 0

This is the first Christmas for several years when it’s been cold enough for frost. Normally we have to resort to cool boxes and ice blocks at the beginning of Christmas, to contain the fridge overflow, so it’s odd that … Continued

Geranium

The weather was a little strange today: some of the time it was sunny, but it was quite humid and for the whole day the air felt close and heavy. I sorted out some supermarket food orders this morning, which … Continued
