The insects are busy pollinating. We have more hover-flies in the garden than I can ever recall, and the bees are out in large number. Just a few shots from today.
Hover-fly on a rose gall
It was a bee, though, that really caught my eye. It was bathing itself in the hibiscus, so much so it could barely fly!
Plenty of fox activity as well... These are from last night.
The Bold Vixen
Bold and Cheeky
And from tonight...
Cheeky, in a rare moment of calm
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 40D and EF 100mm f/2.8L macro IS USM lens apart from the first and second fox photos which were taken with the EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens.

Our's are just starting to come into bloom. So you are a bit ahead of us there!
The foxes are just so special! I love every one of your shots.
