Here are some pictures from today’s bike ride on the ole backroads. Slightly contentious weather, but warmer than yesterday. It rained midway through this, but not too badly. I thought it was quite nice, actually.
1. Yarrow and grasses growing on the roadside

8. Funny, awesome little bug on yellow goat’s beard

I love the insect photos. You got pretty close to some of them, I see. 🙂
Just a great series of photos. Th ebee on clover is lovely. Wel done. Glad to be following!
The sound of grasses blowing in the breeze, drifting seeds into the sky. Colours arrive with the summer sun. Great little walk, and lovely to see the local wild patches being noticed.
