A busy bee

In the absence of butterflies the bees are having the flowers all to themselves and at the moment each of the fading Eryngiums has at least one wee furry bee foraging among the tiny florets.

Of to Aberfoyle after church tomorrow to collect who is going to be my lodger for the next week. Walking is always tricky as she doesn't like other dogs. We need to walk in areas where there are plenty of paths and trees we can hide behind if necessary. She's great in the house and that's a definite plus point.
