Abbey House Gardens

A visit to Abbey House Gardens in Malmesbury in early September. I seem to have taken quite a lot of photos of bees this year, and am quite pleased with these two.

And finally I rather like the colours, light and shadow on this.

The garden (again)

Another one from the garden at home, with a bee collecting pollen from, well I don’t know, some plant or other. I can identify a rose, a lily and a tulip and that’s about it. We had loads of bees in the garden this year (I won’t use the term “summer” as we didn’t really have one), really good to see.
