Three different Calendulas all next to each other...

Comma Butterfly (Polygonia c-album)

Common Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis)

Gatekeeper Female (Pyronia tithonus)

Thirsty bees.

A bumble bee seems happy on this fading zinnia flower.

Having just picked the beans this Small Copper (Lycaena phlaeas)came to investigate.

Californian poppy.

I am soon going to have my time cut out in the kitchen, the quince tree is loaded!!

      Wouldn't that be good to have a magic touch :-)) How I wish. I often think of the TV programme Bewitched and wish I could wiggle my nose LOL. Take care Diane
