These are such beautiful photographs of beautiful flowers from interesting angles. I especially like the two bees. I watched a Nature show last night on the frightening and sudden disappearance of huge populations of honeybees on the planet, threatening the pollination and existence of most of our flowers, fruits and vegetables, so it’s nice to see little pollinating bees.
Beautiful colours and the detail is so clear. Summer feels like a lifetime away down here – but it’s nice to have a reminder! We also have a Kylemore here in Cape Town (out in Stellenbosh) but it’s not as pretty.
Hi WR – I saw bits of that show, too. I don’t understand why the masses are not frightened about our losing all sources of food!! The part I watched was in China, where the farmers were hand pollinating the apple trees. Talk about labor intensive. I watch for bees in my garden, too, and there are not as many as there used to be. Scary.
Thanks for the comment, Pete. My daughter is a great photographer. She really isn’t into flowers – urban decay is more her subject matter of choice, but she was being kind to me. Your Kylemore has beautiful mountain views.
Thanks for the visit! We love coming by your place, too! Just lovely!
These are gorgeous!!!!! and it appears the weather was quite cooperative as well …..
much love,

I wish it were me. Alas, it is Sinead. I haven’t been 16 for a long, long, time.
Ah, how absolutely lush and gorgeous! Thanks for sharing these photos.
You bet, Becca! My pleasure. It’s amazing… you think about a vacation for months and months, and then you blink and it is over. Oh well. I have the photos, anyway.
Lady Blue, you pop up out of the fog!! Nice to hear from you. The weather was cooperating during these photos…… being Ireland, there was a fair amount of rain, but we just slogged right through and drank lots of tea.
