Such a lovely series of photos and quotes! Your garden looks very attractive.....full of gorgeous flowers, beautiful colours and super detail. Your hard work is obviously paying off.

I love the two PiPs with the Hoverflies.........both they and the flowers have been beautifully captured. I particularly like the PiP featuring the Peacock butterfly on the buddleia flower, it's just wonderful.

Excellent photography Amelia.........especially the macro shots!
