I mentioned that the weird hot/cold/wet weather had bought the citrus trees out in bloom early
and I thought I'd share a few pics I snapped last week whilst working on the raised bed walkways. As you can see all the blossom is open and boy do we know it! The garden smells DEVINE right now!
The humming birds are visiting it A LOT as they do every bloom but the amount of bees this year is astounding! Maybe I just didn't notice so much last year or maybe we really do have lots of bees this year. The buzzing on this particular morning was immense!
As you can tell one of my other passions is photography and gardening indulges that passion well! If only the hummingbirds would be so gracious as to stay in the same spot for more than 5 seconds!
Nice shots but finishing off with my favorite! Kinda glad we have all these bees busily buzzing around pollinating the flowers, cos that means MORE ORANGES! I am harvesting enough for approx 1 a day which isn't bad considering the rather crude pruning they got last year!
Naturally more photography to come as and when the critters and weather allow :) We get some interesting 'guests' to the YardCraft garden so should be good for some nature pics! When I was out snapping these some ducks flew past, annoying the life out of the dogs :) Makes a change from last year when they decided that the pool was their pond! Other than ducks we see a host of insects, reptiles, rodents, birds and of course our dogs, the 2 spotty monsters!!! Some days its a positive nature trail out there!
