#red

The back #garden is parched now and there is no sign of significant rain for many days yet. However, the #tomatoes are ripening well and the splash of #red #colour is a lot greater.

I find #butterflies more difficult to #photograph at the moment as they move fast and don't settle on #plants for more than a split second. However, this one did stop off for a bit longer.

While it's hot and dry as the #summer is progressing, the #tomato #plants are beginning to bear ripening #fruit.

Here are some #tomatoes which are just about ready. I like to see the #Sun reflecting off their smooth shiny surfaces.

This bunch contains #red, #amber and #green ones.

Of course none of them would have come about without #pollinators and so here are a couple of images of #insects on neighbouring the #flowers of #rocket plants.

The plants in the #garden, in association with altruistic #insects, are doing rather well. The #Tomatoes, which are in reality about 2 cm in diameter, are at various stages of ripeness.

Here's a group of yet #green ones on a single #stalk.

And here's a close up of another bunch.

Cropping the above image, you can really see some fine detail including fine hairs and yellow dust-like particles on both the #fruit and the stalk.

There are a few #red tomatoes and here's a few amongst verdant surroundings.

Here, I actually like the texture of the background piece of #wood in contrast with the foreground living #plant,

Switching to another plant, I managed to capture the image of this #Bumblebee. They spend only moments on each #RunnerBean #flower before moving onto the next one and so it's difficult to get a decent #photograph of them in action.

Here you can see little runner beans developing. Typically, they will eventually become 20-30+ cm in length in #autumn.
