Buds to Blooms

The roses are blooming, and what a show they are putting on.

I've been training this climbing rose over the trellis for two years and it is just about filled in.  

There are an amazing number of buds and lots of them are starting to open.  I don't have a clue to the type of rose as this old bush was here when we moved in over 26 years ago.

Have you heard of the 30 x 30 Challenge?  Take 30 minutes every day for 30 days during June appreciating Nature.  I'm sure that as we are gardeners we do this each and every day.

The Hummingbirds

Who can resist watching and loving the hummingbirds when they visit the feeders and plants in the gardens.

They flit in and out of the feeder whether we are outside or not.  In fact they will zoom right past our heads to get to the feeder.

Such gorgeous colours that seem to change in the light.

Sometimes they pause as if posing for the camera.  Just look at the throat of the male ruby throated hummingbird.

And sometimes they seem to pause in mid air for a photo.
