Today’s postcards are all about #weevils ,appearing now, mainly in our bathroom & kitchen it would seem! After mating the #weevil spins a little golden lacy dome over its egg the grub will develop safely inside. I found this one on a Silverweed leaf #1000postcards #weevils

Spring flowers line the banks of the farm tracks spilling into the meadows & carpeting the orchards can there be anything so pretty or so welcome as fresh spring flowers now?

Across our valley a hawk
In the Wild cherry holds me
I am blossom gazing

As soon as the sun comes out #butterflies like this #OrangeTip & day flying #moths like this #LongHornedMoth can be seen out and about enjoying the flowers the orange tip likes the honesty flowers & the moth can be seen high up in the clouds of blackthorn blossom #1000postcards

Up & down the tracks & scattered across the garden #Granniesbonnets or #Columbines have seeded themselves with abandon,ranging from dark wine,blueish purple,red & white. Here are two quick watercolour sketches done in preparation for a more considered painting #1000postcards

Blue flowers have always been a passion for me. Blue has an interesting & expensive history in art history as it came from far away lapis lazuli mines.
Today when I take a break from digging the veg patch I shall paint forget-me-nots

What I call butterfly season has just started.Already I’ve seen speckled wood,peacock,cabbage white and Tortoiseshell butterflies on the farm. So today I shall go on a butterfly hunt & see how many brown or purple hairstreak eggs I can find #1000postcards #Butterflies #butterfly

Today’s postcard is a busy little wren who is building a nest somewhere very close to our bathroom window. Wrens hold a special place in folklore in the UK which includes being crowned king of the birds! #1000postcards #wren #gardenbirds #Folklore

South facing #blackthorn hedges throw out new suckers of growth these would get mown out on most farms but this is where the #BrownHairstreak #butterfly likes to lay her eggs so we manage our hedges specially making sure there’s plenty of new growth for egg laying #1000postcards
