Day 19 - Evening Walk

Evening bee on sunflower.

There are many gardens and allotments in my neighbourhood 

and my early morning and my evening walks allow me to enjoy them all.

One garden was just full of beautiful sunflowers

They are glorious from every angle

Even from the back.

The colours vary

I love the young flowers unfolding their petals.

Perfection

The sky was showing an announced change in the weather from hot and sunny

and then to hot and humid as the clouds increased.

Storms and rain are on the way and hopefully we shall get some refreshment

from the lovely rain!

The Last of the Violas

My balcony garden loves to be full of flowers

and the first ones I plant are always pansies and violas.

But at some point in time, they start to grow very leggy

and it's time for me to pick them in profusion

and fill my pots and tiny vases with these

delicate blooms.

I love the variety of their colours

and the watercolour reflection of these on the glass surface

Playing with reflections

and on the kitchen table

the tiniest yellow jug you could ever imagine!

These flowers make me happy...

I think it's those little pansy faces that seem to be looking at me

to say hello!
