LIFE IN THE GARDEN

A lot has been happening in the last few weeks hence my lack of posts to date,the winds of change are blowing and new beginnings are afoot,but I will tell you all about our news at a later date when things are finalized.
In the meantime here are some photos of the fauna and flora I have taken in the garden this week,quite a bumper crop for me,everything  was there just begging to have it's photo taken.!!

 The squirrel,one of a pair eating the young newly developing pine cones.

 A bank vole eating the wild garlic flowers.There was a family of them but could not get them all in the shot.

  All the baby birds are being brought to the feeder to be fed.

 The sparrow hawk with it's prey,plucking it before taking it to it's mate to be fed to the chicks.

 A kestrel on it's nest

Foxgloves growing in the wild part of the garden.

I have had great fun following the wild life this week,even though the weather has not been good.I have managed to get these photos in the very brief moments that the rain stopped and the sun peeped out.
I wish you all a pleasant week,have fun.

FUN WITH BUBBLES

You are never too old to enjoy blowing bubbles,we did it as children and children of all ages  can still be kept amused with some soapy water and a bubble ring.

At the weekend three generations of children passed the time laughing and trying to blow the biggest bubble,my son won first prize for the biggest bubble,his daughter won for blowing the most bubbles in a single go and Grand dad won for putting up with bubbles being blown at him in an attempt to land them on his head or pop them on his beard.!!

The photo I wanted to put up of Freddie chasing the bubbles would not load,but here is one of him by the lake,he has discovered he can now swim,no photos of that yet,but hope to show some next time.
Have a good week.

Carolyn.
