Last week Week 25 I was zooming in and out up at the forge in the old quarry. Unfortunately for us it was closed but for Helelna’s meme I made my ZIZO of the lovely Sunflower that we had wanted to see up close & personal. Hooray for photo editing.


This week, who can believe that we are half way through the year with week 26! I have been Zooming in and out around my Philadelphus. Still trying to make the perfect picture.
I can’t resist another look through my lens at the beautiful blossom on this lovely shrub. It has been wonderful this year, I wish I could let you breath in the orange fragrance; it just says ‘summer evening’ to me.
This afternoon I wasn’t the only one enjoying the plant. I noticed a couple of ants running up and down with no apparent agenda, a few bees laden with pollen and a few thousand black fly just sitting there devouring a stem! I could have done with zooming out a bit more for these! The one little lady bird that I spotted will have her work cut out when/if she sees them!





Don’t you just love the bees with their heads right up inside the flower?
This lovely meme is Helena’s. I wonder what treasures I’ll find over at her blog this week?
