What a beautiful day it has been today - the perfect day for 'Birthday Boy', myself and the two dogs to spend at Audley End. I think the temperature today must have been pretty close to 30 degrees Celsius.
The dogs enjoyed the day as much as we did.
Percy giving me a big 'smile' - he is always happy, except perhaps when he has had enough of being pestered by Stanley.
Stanley is another happy boy.
Both dogs were loved to bits by three lovely children who spent some time sitting with them and giving them cuddles. Percy especially enjoyed lapping up the attention.
Another stop - this time in the shade.
Profile shot. It was Stanley's first big outing out - he has just been going on short walks 'around the block' with us until today. He was a perfect traveller, and settled down to the just over an hour journey there and back. He was very good the whole time we were out as well. What a star!
Of course no day is complete without some flower and bee photography.
This was a perfect ball shaped dahlia - so pretty.
Some unusual gourds being grown.
Wish my pumpkin looked like this - mine amounted to...nothing!
Happy birthday to your husband!!
ReplyDeleteThose are some very strange looking gourds. My pathetic gourd plants never even bloomed. I don't think I'll bother trying to grow any next year.
They are rather different aren't they?! I can't seem to grow any of these type of plants here, not even courgettes!
DeleteLovely to see Percy and his companion.
ReplyDeleteAmazing bee photos!
Thank you.
