Gardens and wildlife

It’s a very beautiful view

It is - especially on a sunny day. Shame I didnt photograph it before the bluebells got past their best.

I love threads like this because they remind me to slow down and actually look at what's growing around me. On quieter days, I mix in a few houseplants to bridge the gap between seasons, and it’s been fun seeing how they complement whatever’s happening outdoors. It keeps that green, calming vibe going even when the garden looks sleepy.

Besides hamsters and cats, I also really like invertebrate/creepy crawly critters. Here are some of my critter pics:

Honeybee


Cabbage butterfly


Cellar(?) slug


Seven-spotted ladybug

Just my Redmi phone. I physically get close to them, zoom 2x and stay still for a while so they 'pose' for the camera. I think with bees and wasps, it's a bit risky to get too close, but I have only been stung once in my life.
