Five (actually six) Minutes with this Doughnut – RegularRandom
I’m not usually one for doughnuts. Unless they’re spectacular, and that’s the only way I can explain this one. It’s from my usual bakery. I went in to get some bread but this caught my eye – I’m always looking for something that has some height or texture or some other kind of interest, and…

The Bees of Red Hill Peony Estate
I am always fascinated by bees. I think many of us are! Of course, maybe not if you’re allergic or have been stung by one. These little beauties were happily mesmerised by the flowers in the sunshine, not caring about me in the slightest. I took a lot of photos, generally at around 1/1,600th of…
