Whether you go with the standard green variety, or the harder-to-find gold, kiwis are a great source of phytonutrients and fiber, as well as packed with vitamins and minerals. They go great in fruit salads, or they’re great by themselves. Eating tip: Cut it in half and spoon it right out of the peel. Fast, easy and yummy!

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.” – Ashley Smith

Bees

Now the garden is starting to come alive I am loving it, it is amazing wondering around with a macro lens the amount that can be found and it is not just flowers.

Bee fly

Hover flies

Ladybirds or Ladybugs

Ants

Then there are the birds………

Blue tits

Robins

and also the cheeky squirrels. We now have a family of them in the oak tree near our house, just waiting to see the babies when they arrive, they are always so tiny:-) I never tire of wandering around my small garden seeing what I can find. Once we manage to get it tidied up and planted more for wildlife, hopefully I will see even more!
