Spent some time outdoors yesterday as our weather was absolutely beautiful! The smell of sweet flowers and the sound of buzzing and chirping filled the air!

Fluffy dandelions...
.

..
Some soft strawberry flowers...
.

Feathery leaves...
.

.

Not sure what this stuff is...it's growing on top of moss...I thought they all looked like tiny little chilli peppers or sausages...very strange...click to see what I mean...
.

.

Wild Bluebells...
.

Busy little bumble bee...
.

.

Dragonfly getting some sun...
.

If you click on the photo of him you can see all the interesting detail on him...
.

Squirrel up in the tree...
.

And last but not least...hubby took this picture the night before of our not-so-little visitor with the striped tail...
