It's #spring and the #flowers are blooming, which means that #Bees have got a good supply of food. They particularly seem to like the small flowers of the #Cotoneaster plant in the front #garden and throughout a #SunnyDay, there are always several dozen on it.

https://mstdn.ca/@3DBill/112264527317629714 3DBill@mstdn.ca - There are a couple of places in Strathcona, #Vancouver BC, where the #sakura (#Prunus) trees meet in an arch over the streets. The pink one is 'Kanzan', the white one is where the root stock of an old tree has overtaken the graft stock and grown into a tree in its own right.

It's #autumn, it's getting cooler and it's harvest time. Here's a batch of #grapes in a 5-litre bucket. I'd say it's about 20% of the total we've had this year. On the negative side, we didn't get too many tomatoes this year.

It's that time of the #year where I make a #calendar for the next one. I decided the theme for next year would be #pollinators. All #photographs are by me and were taken either in our front or back #garden. I suggest you print the pages double-sided and comb bind them so that you can hang it up. Hope you like the pictures. You don't? Well never mind, you can print out just the months instead.

You can download the calendar here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CxmS099Xw0LbO29Ocvy6NLOP5zL9HbSX/view?usp=drive_link

Here are some reduced-resolution preview images.

Seen today in #Ottawa, some purple astirs. These are common here in the fall and are usually our last flowers seen. They are quite cheerful and the colours are luscious.

The #garden is literally bearing #fruit now. Here are some #limes which are still growing but far off being ripe.

These #tomatoes are ready but will continue to ripen for a while even after being detached from the #plant.

It's bright and #sunny today and a quick stroll through the #garden shows it's full of life.

The #grapes are ripening and there's a good crop this year..

Of course, not just the #fruit but the #vine #leaves are also edible in dishes like dolmades which I find particularly good for digestion.

On the other side, the #RunnerBean #plants are #flowering and are being frequented by many #pollinators such as this #bee.
