And here's the second installment of my 'ode to green spaces' - same bee! (I'm still away.)

Ode to green spaces

I'm going to be away for a few days so I am posting a series of photos of flowers - and the occasional bee - that I took in our garden this morning. Let they be an ode to green spaces - and enjoy them while I'm enjoying London!

Gullbatros?!

It's been a while since I last posted a Newhaven picture, so here's a nice one I took a couple of weeks ago. This seagull seems quite comfortable on the stern of the St Rognvald of Newhaven, named after a 12th century Earl from Orkney who ordered the construction of the St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall but was murdered by a Scottish chieftain before its completion.
