@twish1999 Mmmmm - add a bit of beef and you have meal with dessert! (Tea with pudding?) Haha - when I visited a friend in the UK and she mentioned tea with pudding on the first evening, I thought we were in for a cuppa and some custard. :D Imagine my surprise - and relief - when it turned out to be supper.
Brilliant photography! You sure are good at sneaking up on the flighty butterflies. I love the (what we call) swallowtail butterfly. Some of the flowers had plenty of bees present - they are certainly a great advert for your gardening methods at the centre.
@swanscot Thank you. It took a lot of sneaking to get those few moments. Those butterflies are quite flighty. The honeybees with the 'laden' legs are from the Center's own hives, but there are quite a variety of wild bees around. I agree. I think insect life around a garden is a good indicator of its health.
Spectacular captures! Magic and magnificent! ..I wonder what the deep dark purple flower is at :23? ~Special moments watching this, thanks!

@tubeeorrnottubee Thank you! :) That deep purple flower is a black hollyhock. (Not actually black, of course).

@twish1999 Thank you, Twish. :) How is your garden growing this spring? You had bees in your garden wall last year, as I recall.

@WhiteTiger333
I am growing strawberries, mint, garden peas, carrots and potatoes!
I love nature, and the wonder of it all, yes last year we had bees, haven't seen them yet this year though

Yes i can see how confusing it is because we have breakfast, then dinner at noon and then tea (and pudding) in the early evening!
