  8. Hi Diane. Lovely photos. Your flowers are enjoying the warmth and sunshine as well as the rain. We are having similar weather in Durban at the moment. Warm sunshine and then a night of heavy showers.

  9. Hello Diane!
    Really beautiful photos, nice and sharp! I am repeating myself but you have an excellent camera now!
    And a good eye :)
    You bee-like insect is a kind of fly, no worries!
    The peony reminds me of those I had my SA garden!
    I hope you are enjoying great weather at last, it was okay for me in the Pyrenees mountains... Post coming soon ;-)
