Dahlias, bee and other wildlife

 

This morning was grey and a bit mizzly hence the droplets on the flowers  - I even needed an umbrella. I thought there would not be a great amount of colour but then a garden of humble dahlias shone. Such beauty to soak up as you can see from the opening and following photos.




On my Monday walk the sun broke through and highlighted some roadside camellias. As I got up close to take a macro photo a bee came into frame and decided to enjoy the sunlight and pollen - such fleeting serendipity.


On our Sunday walk we did manage to get a fleeting glimpse of a platypus; and yesterday afternoon we saw a very shy and skittish butterfly.



Just to round the blog off - a couple of orchids in Graham's orchid house.


Walking can often offer some beautiful and uplifting rewards.
