In the shade outside my side door,I have a large plastic dish half-filled with water. I put a rock in the centre as a landing point for the smaller birds and the insects. [Nokia Lumia 520 windows phone]

No writing getting done these last few days. We had a window cleaning job yesterday, and our usual two jobs today. Now I’m about to start catching up on my business book-keeping so I can lodge my tax return online, tomorrow. It’s always the same – I leave it until the eleventh hour!

Enjoy the coming weekend.  😀

I love the Cistus shrub, too. It’s also called a sun rose or a rock rose, probably because the flowers close at night, slowly unfurling as the sun rises. My plant is a lowish, spreading type. I love the crinkled papery look of the petals. I hope you enjoy seeing the bees as much as I do.
