I went for a stroll down the lane to see what nature would catch my eye. I keep hoping to spot the occasional dragonfly but there were none to be seen this time. After sitting on the veranda of the cricket club pavillion for a while to take in the scenery and fresh air I wandered back home. On the way I took a few photos of some pink flowers I had spotted on the way there.
Common Mallow:
Thistle with a couple of hoverflies, Episyrphus balteatus (I think):
A closer crop of that photo:
A plant I have failed to identify ....
On reaching home I couldn't resist taking a photo of my Callistemon (bottle brush plant)
A straggly bush but a really showy plant when in full bloom and each year attracting more bees.
