Lazy days

We have had two weeks of great weather, and have spent much of our time skiving - sunning ourselves on the terrace, or pretending to do some wood-based work ...  It'll have to stop!

The view we have got too used to!

A metallic scarab beetle in the sun

A bee goes to work on the perfect globe of a flower of Echinops

A strange meteorogical display - some sort of "sun-dog" - appears this evening

At last - tonight there are enough clouds to give a spectacular sunset ...
