Wake up (to nature) and smell the roses, but not before checking for hoverflies!

This is quite the most ridiculous thing to say but the subject of my nature picture today is horrible!
They are even worse if you click on the picture. Go on, I dare you.

They are green and there’s plenty of them.

For the 30 days of June I’m on the lookout for the wonder that is nature. I hope to post every day until the end of the month.

5 On the trail of a snail (or two)

I spotted this on Barbara’s blog (From My View) and can’t resist joining in.

I’m starting a couple of days late so will add two days on at the end.
I was out in my wildernessgarden yesterday to see what has succumbed to the huge winds we have had this week.
The peonies survived! I am endlessly fascinated with the ants on the buds. They don’t seem to do any harm so I leave them be & just photograph them.
I’m really surprised with the photo as I took it with my iPhone 4s

Day 3 Ants

Day 4 Cuckoo Spit

When I zoomed in on the photo (iPhone again) I can see the little bug***s

Thanks Barbara.
