Day 94 is a visit to my garden borders...
...where I find Allium Nectaroscordum bulgaricum. This is a very graceful member of the allium family. The flowers hang down until fertilised by the bees. Then they rise to point upwards.
On Day 93 I visit a beautiful lake...
Where yellow flag iris is growing along the edge and swans are swimming peacefully along looking for food.

Day 90...another garden picture...
Verbascum...this one has seeded itself a bit and is a beautiful colour.
Day 88 is another from yesterday...
...as I only had family pictures today.
It is a macro shot of a link in a chain.

Day 87 was a day when I took...
...loads and loads of hdr images that haven't been processed yet!!
This one was taken at the top of Hackpen Hill in Wiltshire.
Wild Early Marsh Orchid.
This is one of the orchids in the field.
Most of the orchids were purple Green Winged Orchids.
Day 86 was taken in Wiltshire...
...of a field of wildflowers, with thousands of wild orchids, cowslips, bugle and others.
Day 85 is an image from...
...the day before of The River Kennet as it flows through Marlborough.
I only took images of my daughter's Orienteering competition on this day.
Day 82...is a tiny little flower...
...which grows on wiry stems called epimedium.
The old leaves have to be cut just as the flower stems emerge.
These are replaced with fresh new leaves.
If you leave it too long, it becomes a very fiddly job.
Day 78...back out in my garden...
...this aquilgia grows in my front garden and can be seen from my study as I work.
Day 77...was a macro day...
It could do with a proper cleaning!!
Part of the embossing on the back of my silver mirror.
Day 76...the garden needs a lot of watering..
...when we get back.
This is Persicaria bistorta superba which I originally bought from the Geoff Hamilton garden when we visited.
It's nice to think I have a reminder of a special person who died far too young.
Day 75 is another alternative image...
...taken while on holiday in France.
This one was taken at Lake Annecy on a glorious day.
Three image hdr +/-2.
For Day 74 I have...
...substituted an image from the last day of our holiday as I only took pictures of my family.
Day 73...sat on the lawn taking limited depth of field images...
...of Persicaria bistorta superba.
The bees love these and they flower for a long time.
Day 68...oops seem to have missed it out!!
Tracking the Vikings..., a photo by BambersImages on Flickr.
A sculpture on the Normandy highway created by Georges Saulterre.
It is 20 ft hight and made of stainless steel.
Day 72...one of my early alliums...
...is flowering in the big border.
We have planted lots of different varieties and am looking forward to them all flowering.
Day 71...I've missed most of the tulips...
...while we were away...including the ones at Abbey House Gardens.
Here are my last ones which are about to drop their petals.
Day 70...one of my favourites...
...at this time of year.
An aquilegia also growing in the big border whch lasts for a ages.
Day 69...Great to see the flowers...
...in my garden again.
This is honesty growing in the big border with a golden dicentra growing in the background.
Day 67. We're leaving this morning...
...so I go outside and take a few last pictures of the mountains before packing the car.
