Busy Bugs

Camera in hand, I wandered around the back garden today, resetting my circadian clock* and seeing what changes had occurred while we were away.

The beauty of this rugosa rose bud caught my eye, and the aphids were a bonus. Perhaps they would been in better focus if I had not been so tired, but they're still worth a closer look.

Bug number 2 isn't really a bug -- it's an arachnid, carefully wrapping up food (looks like a fly to me) for future use.

My brain feels a bit like that fly. I'm sure things will be different in a day or two.
