While I was searching for a rose, I spotted a pollen-laden bee on the flowering chives. Check out the orange pollen sacs!
The honeysuckle is starting to bloom and spread its fragrance...the bees and hummingbirds will be happy!
Other celebrations include a bridal shower I attended yesterday for my niece who will be getting married in August. As a reminder that June is often the month associated with weddings, I recently witnessed a beautiful bride and her handsome groom amongst the spring greens of the woodland garden:
I loved seeing the interaction of these two wedding guests ~ I loved how the young girl bent down for eye contact with the little fellow, and how he held her hand. Such a caring, sweet sight.
We have had some fantastic evening skies and sunsets.
I'll leave you with this (not very good) shot of a bunny at the bottom of the street. I like the way the sunlight shone through his pink little ears. Once he spotted me, all I could see was its white cotton tail hopping off ~ perhaps it was heading off for a celebration of its own :)
A really delightful, and heartwarming, post with lovely photos that I know Nikki will appreciate.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention. Flighty xx
What a lovely tribute to your blogland friend Glo!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the bee on the chives, so colourful.
I also particularly like the photo of the little boy and girl, she looks such a gentle little thing :)
Lovely photos from the sun deck too.
Oh, what a lovely gift! Some of my favorite blooms with a busy bee to boot. Thank you, Glo. It's a pleasure to be your bloggy friend.
ReplyDeleteNice little rose bud. I have chives popping up everywhere these days and they are great for attracting insect life. Looks like you have had some lovely sunsets recently.
ReplyDeleteThanks Flighty :) A few more of those little red carpet roses are blooming and lots of buds on the other roses...I'm anticipating some blooms one day before too long!
ReplyDeleteThanks ShySongbird ~ Nikki has a beautiful rose garden and inspired me to plant one of my own ~ a very small version of her beatific blooms.
I was amazed at the pollen the bee had collected, and yes I really thought the girl was being so kind with the little boy. Glad you liked the sunsets, too.
Thanks Nikki ~ and I have you to thank for getting me started on my little rose garden...hopefully more buds will bloom soon. Glad to hear you had a lovely birthday.
Thanks John ~ Chives' flowers are so pretty and obviously sought after by the bees ~ as you know as well since you have lots of them. Lovely sunsets are pretty special and hopefully there'll be some lovely summer ones, too.
Lovely post! I particularly like the bee on the vhives, that bee has some serious 'knees'!
ReplyDeleteChive flowers are very popular with bees - mine this year have been covered in bees of the red-bottomed variety! Lovely photos Glo, and always love to see a bunny too. x
