Fennel's in Flower

How on earth do you top Raj in a Christmas hat? Well, the easy answer to that is - you can't!

So, back to the garden - and you can tell it's getting warmer, the bees are slowing down, nowhere near so desperate for food as they were a few weeks ago. This one is sipping nectar from fennel heads which are a good deal taller than I am. They would have to be a good 8 feet high. Hence the kind of upside down angle.

Anyway the yellow looks pretty against the blue sky.

A bigger bee.
