21 midsummer snaps, with bees and things and flowers

I missed #SixOnSaturday yesterday, but I do have 21 snaps to share for Midsummers’ day. Inspired by Roy Ayres, ‘Everybody loves the sunshine’ and his lyric about ‘bees and things and flowers’ in the sunshine, here we go… 1. Nasturtiums, with the blurry bum of a white tail bumblebee just visible in the centre of the bloom. 2. The remains of the mullein flower stems were a feast for a couple of…

Dawn Chorus Quest - SOS May 2026

This week’s Six on Saturday is a bit different.

Six on Saturday this week is a quick collection of the horsehead statue looking statuesque, the purple clematis and white rose round the front door, campanula aka bellflower, pansies grown from seed and now in flower.

International Dawn Chorus Day

It is International Dawn Chorus Day, 3 May. It’s an opportunity to make time to listen to the birds in the morning, and share that sound with others. 🙂 The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds says “across the world, people are setting their alarms a little earlier to wake up to the dawn chorus through a cracked bedroom window, catching it on the dog walk before the school run, or stepping…

This week the first rose bloomed. It’s a wonderfully perfumed pink rose. When we arrived it was planted by the doors of a summerhouse, the summerhouse didn’t last the winter, but the rose is well established. The variety is possibly ‘Queen Elizabeth,’ which seems apt, as HRH would have been 100 this week. I don’t think she’d be a very happy queen if she were around at the moment. She often…
