Happy Sunday!

I thought I would share some photos I've taken this weekend with you all, the rose bushes are blooming with bright flowers once more.

I spotted the mantis earlier and we had a mini photo shoot. They are such beautiful, delicate creatures and fully welcome in my garden at any time!

I was watering the watermelons and came across a nest stuck to the box - my initial thought was that it was a lone wasp nest so I tried to scrape it off with a stone, to no avail.
Much to my surprise I noticed after that some liquid was oozing out... turns out it was a wild bees nest, honey included! By the time I came back with my camera to get a good, zoomed in view (the shot I've included was sadly just a phone photo) the flies had eaten it all!!

I have been getting back into daily walks this month, the weather has been lovely for it. Here's a shot of my doggo on a walk to round off the photos. He's such a cutie!

My seeds are just starting to germinate in the polytunnel so I will be updating you with my garden progress as soon as there is enough growth to show. I have also got an order of organic/heritage seeds on the way so I will be planting those new seeds once they arrive. I shall have plenty of upcoming gardening posts to share, I hope you like those sort of posts!

As always, please share your latest garden related posts with me in the comments, I love seeing everyone's garden!

I hope you have all had a great weekend, and are looking forward to the week ahead.

mini photo shoot

I wish you the best on your gardens, may they bless you abundantly. Cute dog btw.

Thank you @sunscape, I hope to have a good crop this Autumn season. He's a cutie isn't he? Not one for photos most of the time but he couldn't escape the camera whilst on the lead!

What a beautiful selection of photos. That praying mantis seems to be rolling his eyes at you. The details are brilliant! Your doggo looks super happy out for his walk too. Lots of sunshine still in your part of Spain, that’s great to see. 🦋🌴🌈💛🍀❤️

Haha it could well have been rolling its eyes at me - I was an invading paparazzi for quite some time!

Ohh yes he loves his walks! Wanted to be let off the lead at this point, which did happen shortly after. I can never get a sharp photo of him unless he's forced to stay in one spot!

Indeed we are still blessed with beautiful sunny days here, though the temperatures are dropping to mid 20s now, perfect for a long afternoon stroll. Thank you for stopping by @sallybeth23!

Mid twenties sound very nice temperatures - great for gardening and such!

It is perfect for gardening and walks - I love the intense summer heat but I am happy to be able to do more with my day now!

Hi GC!
Awesome photography as always - thank you so much for the update!

Upvoted and resteemed :D

Thanks for the support @icedrum, glad you like the photos!

Always a pleasure :D

Hi, flies are great gourmands! haha
We, too, are starting the weekend walk again,
now it's getting hotter
Your dog is super beautiful, he has such a sweet look ...

The flies sure are greedy! They ate the wild honey very speedily.

Glad you are getting into weekend walks too, it's good to get out when the weather allows. Haha he is a lovely dog, very sweet indeed. I am lucky to have him!

hey nice shots! love the mantis...

Thanks @dddonnna, glad you like the photos! The mantis is lovely isn't it? My favourite garden insect.

Happy Sunday to you too!❤️
