Today is #twosday so here are a pair of Housemartins I have the privilege of providing nesting space for when they are here for the Summer. Have been gone about 2 weeks now so hopefully made it to their warmer climate for the winter #birds #thegardenjungle #birdwatching #UKwildlife #birdphotography

By teaching children about the Wildlife and Animals that live around us, we can help them develop respect for all forms of life. Understanding that we share this planet with other living creatures can also help children develop empathy and compassion for others #wildlife #nature #children #bluesky 🦔

Rose Baroness is really giving me a final flush of gorgeous perfumed blooms. #MagentaMonday #Roses

So much hate in such a little "man"!

Can't wait for the day when we can all sing Goodbye, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu to the Dear Leader.

Large Magnolia branch on the ground. Broken yesterday during the severe gales of Storm Amy.

Pure white Lily flower in the sunshine.

A large branch of the Magnolia was broken off in the storm and we had lot's of pots blown over, thankfully no serious damage caused. Today it's still very windy but not half as bad as yesterday. A lily flowered today to brighten things up a little. 🌱 #BloomScrolling #Gardening #StormAmy

You just know the Dear Leader thought this was brilliant. Yet the rest of the world sees this and we realise just how far America has fallen and that America is run by a dangerous, insane and sick old man.

Vibrant red leaves of Japenese Maple.

The finely cut leaves of this Acer are a reddish purple colour.

The Acer are getting their Autumn colours. We have heavy rain and strong gusts already, ahead of Storm Amy. Hopefully there won't be too much damage.🌱 #BloomScrolling #Acer #Gardening #Autumn

The spiked leaves of the Mahonia in shades of red and orange with some still green. The leaves are similar to Holly. The unopened flower buds rise from the centre.

The Mahonia autumn colours are coming in alongside it's green leaves. When the flowers open they will be a bright yellow with a lovely scent.🌱 #BloomScrolling #Gardening #Mahonia #Autumn

Each shapely 4-inch (10 cm) bloom is like a living snapshot of a sunrise with its heady pink petals around a sunny yellow base. The pink hues are lighter on the reverse so the roses are astounding from any angle. Generally, each fully double flower opens on its own long, cut-worthy stem. Despite preferring to be a solo act, finding clusters of these enchanting blossoms is not uncommon. The architecture of the plant is itself a thing of beauty. The Dr. Jane Goodall Rose is well branched and boasts an exceptionally attractive bushy habit. This variety grows to a happy goldilocks medium that is neither too big nor too small and suits virtually any size landscape. Its leaves are dark, dapper and very glossy forming a dramatic backdrop for its dawn-kissed flowers. Even the pointed ovoid buds are inviting a quiet fanfare for the roses to come. Once open, the blossoms release a spicy fragrance that is distinctive yet not overpowering. This hybrid tea rose simply overflows with graces and it’s impossible not to become instantly smitten.

Dr. Jane Goodall rose
This delightful hybrid tea rose is noble and passionate yet tempered with the humility of its human namesake. Just like the good doctor herself, this rose is just the right mix of strength and loveliness that any rosarian can respect. For more information, access the Alt text.

Clockwise. The bright pink rose my Dad planted many years ago which has a beautiful scent. For Your Eyes Only rose. Dark red rose and finally a cluster of six powder pink roses.

Some of the roses still in bloom. It was up to 19° today and cloudy.🌱🌹 #RoseWednesday #BloomScrolling #Gardening

Nazi propaganda poster to vilify Jewish people.

When I saw this it reminded me of something. The Nazis used similar images to denigrate Jewish people. Reform showing their truecolours.

A collage of nine photographs of Dahlias in bloom. The flowers show a range of forms and colours, including pink, red, white, and yellow varieties, with layered petals and golden centres, all set against leafy green backgrounds.

The Dahlia, a birth flower for those born in #October, symbolises dignity and elegance in the language of flowers. Folklore says dreaming of colourful Dahlias brings good fortune, while in folk magic they are charms for spiritual growth and evolution. Happy new month! #October1st

Because my Blue-sky feed is full of the verbal diarrhoea spewing out of the White House lunatic’s I shall be posting more rose photos to counteract the hate.
Just wish I could add their perfume to their beauty. This is Chandos Beauty. Amazing perfume. #RoseWednesday.

Butterfly Conservation's Butterflies and Moths to see in October: Speckled Wood, Brimstone moth, Comma, Frosted Orange, Peacock, Angle Shades, Red Admiral, Light Emerald, and Wall.

Hello October! Or should that be Moth-tober? 🎃🦋

With autumn well underway, keep an eye out for these butterflies and moths in your gardens and local green spaces.

Did he think he looked like Patton when in front of the flag?! As for the Dear Leader and his low energy, rambling, slurred so called speech, pathetic, simply pathetic. How far America has fallen and what a bad joke it has become.

It’s about time to start thinking about doing some #Autumn lawn maintenance, allowing your grass to recover from the summer.

If you are a paid subscriber to my newsletter, you can read my previous article on how to do this.

Does the regime really expect people to visit the US when you have masked and heavily armed gangs standing around street corners?! No one has made America look like a war zone more than the Dear Leader has.

Jabba the Hutt with a moustache. Disgusting inside and out.

Did the Dear Leader not describe J6 as a "day of love"? How come it has now become a day of Agitators and Insurrectionists?! The regime cannot get their lies straight.

Today’s #SixOnSaturday have two roses, an Aster, kniphofia, Rubeckia, and holly berries.

Have a great weekend everyone!

So writing poetry to them is weird, walking in a wood to them is weird! However, drawing a young girl naked and sending it to Epstein is just fine. Just about sums the regime up perfectly. Troglodytes
