Flowers in Season

Taking a stroll through a summer garden with a seat placed to enjoy the flowers and the day.
Sizergh Castle
But the flowers don't only live in gardens,  here they tumble down steps
the little daisies flowering in profusion. Those who know tell me their name is actually Erigeron karvinskianus, maybe daisy is easier to say.
Flowering Currant
 A bee immerses itself in these April flowers and almost becomes part of them, just the start of its busy year.
This was the last butterfly I saw last year, a small tortoiseshell making the most of the late flowers in October.

Bee Hives

In the corner of the gardens at Sizergh is a notice "Beware busy bees buzzing" and here I found
honey bees flying in and out of two hives.
Like the picture on the notice there was also 
a bird in residence watching the coming and going
of these busy bees on their journeys from flowers to hive.
