Day 54

This was a spur of the moment evening walk so I got my boots on and did a quick lap after work. The weather is still holding out but not quite so hot in the evenings. There were a few new arrivals on the flowering front up there today – I thought this was a nice shot.

Aside from that, the view was as for the most part recently fantastic although a little hazy.

Everywhere is so dry at the moment as it hasn’t really rained in two weeks so we could actually have managed the walk in runners. Even the streams down the bottom have dried up and the poor old tadpoles are reduced to a few muddy puddles.

I spotted this bee on a thistle when I got out into our bottom field but decent shots of bees are possibly a bit beyond my camera. But here goes anyway.

You can sort of see her nectar sacs on this one.

So I got a nice walk in for a work evening and I should get out again tomorrow as I am planning on working from home.
