    1. Thanks for popping over here Jean and glad to have been able to bring some of natures simple pleasure to you on a rough day.

      Yes, the photos here on the blog are all my own and mostly taken with my mobile phone as that happens to be in my pocket more often than my camera and I am delighted with it’s ability to take such close up shots. I am delighted that you enjoy them 🙂

      As for the Blog Gems – thank you for taking it on and giving Jen a well deserved break.
