The garden is busy with juvenile birds exploring around and learning the ropes. Artichokes plumping up and butterflies dodging the showers- all good for #SixOnSaturday #garden #nature #willife #wellbeing

Stopped along my journey today to look at a field of poppies. Field Marigolds added a pop of yellow & on each flowers a gang of little beetles! #WildWebsWednesday #insects #wildlife #nature
