Lens Artist Weekly is guest hosted by Xenia Tran from Whippet Wisdom and Tranature, with the theme of sanctuary.
A sanctuary is a place of refuge, for people and animals. For me it means a place to feel comfortable, peaceful and safe. Especially appropriate at the moment.
Spending time in nature brings a sense of calm, healing and peacefulness.
Watching the birds and insects, listening to the sounds of nature
A favourite place to curl up and read
Being on a deserted beach with the sound of the ocean. All these things instill feelings of tranquility, renewal and peace.
My entry for Cee’s flower of the day challenge (14th June) is hebe. We have several of these shrubs which are great for attracting bees and butterflies. At the moment they’re swarmimg with bees and a lone butterfly.
My choice for June 2nd is another flower that was already in situ, but I do know what it is (with the help of Google) Erigeron ‘Sea Breeze’, great for attracting pollinators.
The hedgerows are becoming a riot of colour with flowers beginning to bloom, makes my early morning dog walk more of a pleasure.
The lovely display below was from our visit to Warkworth last year.
Butterflies and bees love the hebe, daisies and buddleiaand we had more last year than ever before.It would be nice if this year was as good, adding a little more interest in the garden.
