Bumbling back into my blog

Oops, it's only been 7 years since my last post. What happened there? Life I guess. But I am still plodding through the countryside and I think now that technology has advanced (I can take photos with my phone, wow!) as has the dire need for more positive and joyful news to be shared to the world, it's time to get back on here.

So let's get the ball rolling with a shout out to our marvelous pollinators! I've snapped a few pics this week of pollinators on plants. I do love a good bumblebee - tiny bundles of fur, clumsily wafting through the air from flower to flower occasionally distracted by other inanimate, brightly coloured items. Seeing a bumblebee getting stuck into a good flower definitely brings me some joy.
