The English Hawthorns are full blown and attracting tons of bugs which attract the birds, who appear to be bathing in the blossoms. When standing near the heavy uniquely scented tree one hears what sounds like a bee hive, as hundreds of honey bees are combing the newly opening flowers and gathering buckets of pollen. It is a wonder how they can still fly with all that weight on their tiny legs. The French lilacs and wisteria are still going, but with the heat wave we are having they will not last long now... soon to follow, however are the late blooming lilacs. Viburnum paniculata is lovely in its full glory. The fragrance in the garden is delicious. The birds are a constant delight. Hope you enjoy... its Blooming Friday thanks to Katarina http://rosorochris.blogspot.com/

Beautiful images of flowers, birds and bees.
Very nice Carol. Have a wonderful weekend and please enjoy the Bach and jazz that I sent.
Lovely pics, and most of all I like the photos of the birds, busy feeding their small ones. Great shots!
Gorgeous shots. Great captures of the Bluebirds, and I love the pink Hawthorn.
I always know I will be rewarded when I visit your site. But somehow I'm never prepared for the never-ending surprises. The bees, for instance. Seeing them so close and so purposeful. This is SO much better than seeing photos in a book or magazine, which can appear static. At Flower Hill Farm there is ongoing life. Beautiful movement. The pair of birds (?) beg for captions! Thank you for sharing your world.
There is something very special with your pictures. Your garden must be wonderful.
Hi,
Just wanted to leave a quick note and thank you for leaving a comment a while back on GardenBloggers.com and apologize for being so late in my reply. Also, I had to comment because I love the pics of the birds at the birdhouse. Keep up the good work, love the photos!
Thanks to all for visiting and sharing with me. I do feel so very lucky to have these precious birds in my life. The gardens and land are so animated with their presence and they help maintain biting insects. There is an amazing choral society that fills the air and flows into the windows every morning around 4am! I do feel great that the gardens support wild honey bees too!
Birds and bees and flowers and trees - it's lovely!
