B is for ,,, The Alphabet Photo Project

It's the time of year when everything goes quite mad in the garden, suddenly there is a growth spurt and the grass is ten feet high and the flowers are all starting to bloom.  This year I left a couple of the lawns to do their thing - one has dandelions that I let flower and become a blanket of delicate, fluffy pom-poms that we blow till we are dizzy.  Dandelions aren't weeds, they are medicinal plants and the bees love them, leave them in your garden!

The rest of the garden is covered in beautiful, blue, Borage plants that are also covered in honey bees and the little girl is now so used to them, we can actually sit amongst them without her screeching beeeee and doing a very dramatic exit, so last year!

So after all that, B this week is for Buttercup, those bright, sunshine yellow flowers that also pop up on my lawns.  This one caught my eye, not quite perfect but so perfectly intricate.  I was pondering the other day why I never see a bee on a Buttercup, have a read here for some interesting facts on the matter.

B is also for Bokeh, a word I learnt recently, it's the blurry background I've been practising with my new camera, finally I'm regularly off Auto mode!
