A stroll through the #garden at lunchtime. It's a bright, sunny day here today with very good light conditions and so I just wandered around to see what was of interest to #photograph.

In a pale which is used to store #water for watering #plants, you can see what look like #mosquitoes skating on the surface of the water using #SurfaceTension to keep them on top. No doubt, the females will be laying #eggs. You can see #ripples in the water and reflections of the plants around as well as a few #RosePetals which have fallen into the pale.

The #blackberry plants are flowering. Here are some #white #flowers.

And others are #lilac.

The #RunnerBeans plants are currently less than a metre tall but will grow to close to 3 m in height. However, they're already flowering.

Finally, here's the obligatory #Bumblebee on #Allium #florets but you can see another guest at this hotel, which seems to be a small wasp.

I like the bumblebee so much that here she is again in a cropped version of the above image at full resolution.
