Winter pick-me-up | Edition 3

A little bit of summer to warm you in the icy conditions.  Secretly (or not so secretly), I am hugely excited about the snow!  Although I do love roses and can't wait to see them again.  I was lucky enough to catch this little fella, laden down with his pollen, in flight.  Just one of the very small wonders that make me smile.

 

Holding onto the green ...

Join me for a walk in the last moments of summer.  Grab your jacket, pull on your boots and breathe in the clear scent before the bonfires start.

Final throws of summer ...

 Although I have made no secret of my excitement about the impending autumn and am really looking forward to sharing autumn colour with you, I am still enjoying the final throws of summer and the small splashes of green that are brought along with it.  Finding this little dragonfly was a boon.  Sleepy and heavy, he wasn't in a hurry to move along.  He was a natural in front of the camera and the colours of his surroundings complimented him perfectly.  Autumn colours are rapidly approaching but lets enjoy the last shades of green.
