Young Stashlet and I had a spare afternoon last week and went for a quick dash round the Botanic Garden in Dublin. It's a feast of late perennials at the moment and the bees and hoverflies were busily feeding away and completely oblivious to my camera.
The one downer was that we had to go without our usually indulgent coffee and cake: the indoor cafe was horribly stuffy - there don't seem to be any openable windows - and the outdoor cafe is unfortunately unsuitable for parking a baby in a buggy while perusing the cake counter, so whoever designed it gets my thumbs down. Shame really, that meringue roulade was really calling my name...
And I discovered this chap hiding in the trees...
