Simple pleasures

An easy tray bake made at silly o'clock on Friday night for a picnic the next day. Sometimes water icing is all a cake needs.
Catching an elusive flower on camera and excitedly ringing Mr M to tell him.
Marvelling at how far Miss P has come since November.

Simple pleasures

Feeding time for the fledglings - mostly little great tits. Their squawking is surprisingly loud. One of the little ones got slightly lost on a branch next to me so we spent a few moments checking one another out. The above image is actually a very shaky recording of the noise because it really was quite extraordinary - I'm testing Picasa's 'blog this' function to see if it will let you listen in too...if not, here is a lovely shot of just a small section of our canopy - heavenly in the heat.
