A variety of colours in the trees and a few bluebells in Fishpond Park at Panteg in Pontypool.
Thanks to all the volunteers who keep the park looking so beautiful!
... while I was taking a walk through my garden, I saw beautiful swallowtails and couldn't help but take a picture of them...
(Papilio machaon)
The bokeh is not coloured - the background comes from a European smoketree with red leaves
Schwalbenschwanz
I think it's a Smoketree or smoke bush (Cotinus /koʊˈtaɪnəs/) which is a genus of two species of flowering plants in the family Anacardiaceae, closely related to the sumacs (Rhus). (info from Wikipedia).
It really surprises me how quickly and easily these bugs can maneuver through the twigs that they live on. One second ill be looking at one and the next second it disappeared behind another twig, making them quite frustrating to photograph.

A smoke bush, that is. I've found too many good fences recently, so I'm posting this one for Textural Tuesday. It's a wooden fence held together with metal brackets of a kind I've never seen before. One section of the fence was completely surrounded by a large smoke bush. The flowers here look yellow because there was a lot of bright sunlight behind them. Their actual color was more pink.
Quite a messy day of heavy rain, strong winds & ice, all day long! This is a tree in my back garden. This is what Spring looks like today!

...il neigeait des flocons de pissenlits,
tu n'en croyais pas tes yeux…
Moi non plus!
Continue ta surveillance, où que tu sois…
Personne ne t'en voudra,
Je te le promets...
... it was snowing dandelion flakes,
you could not believe your eyes...
Me neither!
Keep your watch, wherever you are…
Nobody will blame you,
I promise...
RIP
A peek into a corner of my garden! Best viewed large. Calling for very hot weather here for the next few days. Happy new week my friends, enjoy =)
You can visit caged or fenced-in animals in any Zoo but the free ones there are far greater in number. Think of insects and spiders and lots of birds, little rodents, skinks and lizards and salamanders, Frogs, of course...
Today in ARTIS I was looking at the almost purple foliage and beige flowers of pretty European Smoketree with the somewhat pleonastic scientific name Cotinus coggygria. And there it was, Beautifully Emerald Green Capsid Bug, Lygocoris pabulinus, forager in the shade, poised on the wee flowers of our shrub.
Il est très beau cet automne...

All our snow has gone, but I liked the way this pic in my garden turned out, so I thought I'd share this with you from a while back! Happy Fence Friday my friends =)
This smoke tree loves it\s spot in the garden...unfortunately I planted it where something smaller should have been...but I love it's fall display of color and have yet to capture the elusive flowers.
