A few photos of something spotted during a quick look in the garden. I have posted photos of Blackbirds before. I have posted photos of birds eating the cherries before. But on Day 82 we had Blackbirds eating the Cherries in the garden. Apparently the ripe ones taste quite nice though I have yet to…

I think this post will be the end of the daily efforts. I am not expecting anything special/new in the garden for a few days and for Day 81 I am repeating some photos from Day 23. This was one of the highlights of the series. Now that lockdown is easing car dealerships have opened…

I have just one photo, as the header image, for Day 75. It is something that is new to us and new to the series. It is one of several Campanula portenschlagiana that we have just bought and I have now planted them in the front garden. It is also called Clockwise Deep Blue but…
