Today I remberbed my camera. Sunday morning Jamie and I and no one else to be seen for miles.The Grasses are dry and wave in the wind and the Scabias blow with them they are at there peak and full of necter hundreds of small butterflys an Moths are feeding I move in to take a shot and they are away Jamie does not help he wants to know what I am doing ,I tell him to go and find rabbits that he understands hes off .again I line one up the wind blows and I have blur Jamie is busy in a clump of Blackberry bushes about a 100 feet away.I move a short distance to where the bracken is part sheltering the flowers and straight away obtain a flower in focus.


More success but where is Jamie


The grass parts and there he is


More success two at once a bit of luck really one landed as I took the other, I could have said it was skill but no one would believe me,
Close to the ground were lots of of these Convolvulus I could not help wondering if they would grow in a pot with some twigs to wrap around?They are very pretty but I would not want them in the garden.


Thats one and a half hours taken care of,off home to carve the lamb and pull a cork orrrrr two
