I havenât seen any irises yet⊠I have just a few but they bloom much later.
One little but pretty pine tree, different time, two lenses, two very different viewpoints and the same slightly disappointed photographer. I look at the photos and I see the pine is pretty but I could make it significantly better. I donât want a better photo enough to work on it but my inner critic canât shut up. It was horrible being a not talented and lazy beginner artist (if I can call myself that, I just tried to draw and failed) for years, my critique skills are the best by far. Itâs better than being delusional and ridiculously bad and proud but itâs still hard.
I took too few photos so itâs not really good either but itâs a beautiful flower!!! We have a few every year.
I always loved houseleeks (what. we call this stone rose, more fitting IMO). And I found funny that the greengage flower fell on top of it 
Itâs just a silly shot, made on a day when I grabbed the macro lens and took a lot of shot of everything in the garden. Or of many things, at least.

Rode my bicycle this morning⊠Went to the meat market and was craving a great big honkinâ steak, but when I got there, the meat in the case looked like it was about 2 days old. Asked for 2 freshly cut T-bones. He said, he would cut me two new steaks when the others sell out. Didnât get my T-bone for today, but I saw some pretty thingsâŠ
I saw a Mango tree that was growing mangos like grapes! In clustersâŠ
And I saw this real pretty palm tree⊠Itâs trunk fronds curl when the frond falls offâŠ

I was on my front porch and heard the familiar buzz of a humingbird. It was getting nectar from the azalea flowers so I grabbed my phone and snapped a pic. It had a beautiful red throat but of course I only got a side shot and it blends in real well with the foliage. I added a yellow circle to make it easier to find.

A few days old photos from my garden⊠Maybe one day I donât want to show everything (no, itâs far from everything), I am afraid what happens when I will have fruits 
I revived my very tiny hobby photographer self a few weeks ago I am not pleased with my results yet but itâs fine.
Apple flowers:
I donât know the name of this plant but I have some and I like it.
Violet close-up. They are everywhere and in war with my sorrels, sometimes I feel the need to step inâŠ
Sour cherry flowers, I hope we finally will have enough sour cherries this yearâŠ
My small honeyberry bush is blooming too. It did it last year while being super tiny but the few berries (they ripened extremely slowly) werenât particularly tasty then.

I only have a small walled garden but itâs been my sanctuary this past week. I am no gardener, but just now my clematis looks lovely 
. I donât have @Shinita beautiful photographic skills 
I went for a walk yesterday and for the first time I felt really uncomfortable. I counted 12 police cars and sirens seemed to be a constant background noise! But I did get this snap of Worthing pierâŠ

These arenât todayâs photos but for some reason I didnât bring them earlier⊠Itâs from a real walk, not from my garden! I visited a nearby forest lately. For some primrose but this bunch contains other species. Not only flowers As I found some of the cats almost in the beginning. The two boys, doing what cats do, definitely not practicing social distancing:
Heâs the young one, being unusually majestic (and having the focus on his farther ear instead of the closer eye, I am aware but I canât help it now):
And heâs the way bigger, older one (they are both adults but with different sized bodies and different personalities), being somewhat goofy:
Various flowers and something extra:
These are the same plant:
I love this macro lens
