Dare to be different

The photo above is such a gentle whimsical and peaceful piece - it could be about stepping back and just being one's self - blowing bubbles even.

On my walk this morning I came across a weed-flower that dared to be different - one single white spray of flowers amongst a patch of purple.

I carried out a tiny rescue this morning - a wee moth stranded on the surface of the water in the rusted fire-pit. At first I thought it was dead; but on picking it up gently with a finger it moved so I put it on the edge of the fire-pit to let it dry off and hopefully find its flight again.

Talking of flight - the veggie garden is just buzzing with bees - they really seem to like the blossoms of the Rocket.

And then there are a few random photos that make me smile.

Life can offer quiet a lot of unexpected moments
