Must be the most cryptic butterfly in the world ! Spot the greyling ! Good job we saw this one land as they are almost invisible.
A site near to home, we never fail here !

A few from the garden
Beautiful roses this year
Lots of onions drying, recon we planted 500 !
We have a harvest every day now, this was this mornings !
Lots of courgettes.....our neighbours are getting plenty !
Fuchsias looking spectacular this year, despite the relentless sun. A fabulous splash of colour.
Not grown cucumbers before and this one was the first......the jury is out on these !
Cheers !! A well earned beer after a day in the garden. Hawkstone....you are delicious !
Not grown beetroot before.....Flipping heck, it's delicious ! 7 jars pickled yesterday, 1 for our neighbours and 6 now tucked in the fridge. More seeds planted ready for an autumn harvest !
Lots of chillis on in the greenhouse
Our corn all has tassles on
Dinner plate dahlia.....fabulous x
This mornings harvest......lots of beans and spring onions x
Bags of onions and shallots hanging to dry, they will last us a year. Daffodil and tulip bulbs aswell
Long sweet peppers, hundreds of them on all the plants
Bell peppers looking good
Potatoes (Jazzy) harvested this morning. They will be delicious with butter and salt xx
Massive bed of mixed beans, all starting to fruit now, picking daily
Scorchio, reaching a staggering 52 degrees !
Stones of tomatoes, ready in a couple of weeks
A bit of a catch-up
Yellowhammer singing from the tops
Cygnets - little balls of fluff !
Never far from killing here in North Lincs.....seems to be a bird scarer or banger now in most fields and then they need a platform to kill the deer. Nature doesn't stand a chance !
Roe Deer watching us x
Green Sandpipers at Blacktoft Sands
A distant buzzard in the heat haze
and a fantastic postbox topper xx

A few more Silver-washed Fritillaries
Still lots flying in our local woodlands although most of the males have battled until their wings are now in tatters. They look beautiful drifting over the bramble and burdock bushes.
