May

May has been gloriously sunny most of the time but since there’s been little rain I’ve been watering the more vulnerable plants such as the new willow and wild flower seeds I’ve planted.
Considering the lack of rain it’s all greening up very well as you can see from these photos.

The leaves on the willow grow rapidly during late Spring and early summer months.
Here’s a friend with the bower to give an idea of scale.

The willow seat started growing so rapidly that I couldn’t find time to keep up with the   weaving. Hence its quite a low seat.

Pond and bower in the background.

There’s been many dragonflies swooping around the pond this May. Here’s a photo of a dragonfly larvae case that’s just been vacated by the adult.
