cooler days and rain change the garden

Good day ,

I had a little walk in the garden this morning , and was able to capture some wildlife and flowers.

It looks like we have lost some of the plants that we planted last year due to draught and heat, so i'm thinking of adding some Bamboo plants to the garden later this year for more hight and shadow i'm thinking of getting 3 or 5 plants of the Fargesia scabrida 'Asian Wonder' .

I think the red and green wil make a good match with the Cornus alba 'Sibirica' that we already have in the garden .

But that is for after the summer :)

Back to todays wild life and flowers in the garden.

Your photos make the insects look cute! It’s hard to be scared of them like that! When they’re buzzing towards your face/crawling all over you it’s a different matter ha! Awesome photos as always!

Why do you have to make these critters so cute 😆 I really don’t like them in person but in photos like these they are kind of beautiful

Do you abduct these insects and bring them into your home.

To have the perfect position and lighting?

Or is it pure skill. HMMMMMMMMMMMMM
