Hello Diane,
ReplyDeleteAbout the bee-eaters I guess they should be the same since there are no other birds looking quite like them!
Great post on "what's app" in your garden! LOL!
The Black bird bathing, lizard and gorgeous flowers!
Back off to Spain next week, I hope you are enjoying your time too :)
Any trip planed??
Warm hugs and great week, Diane :)
I wonder that you do not live in Spain, you spend a lot of time there :-) The only trip we have planned other than at the end of the year at this stage is Talmont-sur-Garonde in the middle of May for 3 days. Sure though N will come up with some more ideas before we reach December :-))
DeleteHope that all is well with you, take care and hugs from us both Diane
Loving that sunning lizard! Great shots and the flowers are amazing.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Pam, we have a number of lizards around now the sun is coming out a bit. I have only seen one green one so far this year but hopefullly the others will appear shortly. Stay well Diane
DeleteHope your cold spell is over.
ReplyDeleteSadly not if the forecast is right, we are heading back to minus figures again at the end of next week. Brrrrrrr. We need to get the garden sorted ASAP but neither of us can work in the cold! Keep warm Diane
DeleteYour garden images are beautiful, Diane. You have far more colour than we do.
ReplyDeleteI could sit and photograph your lizard and beetle all day - wonderful subjects!
Have a great week, and take good care - - - Richard
Thanks so much Richard, presumably you did not go to the last post on the page with my birds from RSA.
DeleteThe beetle/s seem to appear every year on the same plant when it flowers. I do love our lizards, especially the green ones but they seem to be waiting for a bit more sun!!
Hope your week is a good one, cheers Diane
Blackbird is a stunning bird and a wonderful chorister too.
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more with that but Stewart also has it right "Mulch-Shifters" Ha ha they dig everything up in my garden!! Having said that I love listening to them though. Diane
DeleteFun to watch the splish splash of the blackbird. Have not seen a longhorn beetle before. Beautiful flowers in your garden.
ReplyDeleteWe have a number of longhorn beetles around at the moment, they love one of my shrubs, Have a good week Diane
DeleteI think Blackbirds should be renamed "Mulch-Shifters"! As you may be able to work out, we have them in our garden too!
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Ha ha Stewart and seed shifters as well, our rows of seed that I plant straight come up all over the place! Have a good week Diane
