Yet another sunflower + some pics

Good morning all, I hope you are still enjoying this beautiful weather. We have wall to wall sunshine here near Derby although it's very windy!


A non crafting friend asked me to make this for her to give to a mutual friend, I have yet to make my own for the same recipient. Do you get the idea I like this sunflower stamp?
I stamped straight onto J&P paper then just gave it a tiny orange border to separate it from the background.


Now, onto my trip to meet my cousin at Attenborough Nature Reserve on Thursday. What a lovely day it was and I was fortunate enough to get these three shots. The dragonfly was so well camouflaged that I nearly missed it!


This beautiful little fellow is a bird I had never previously seen and I was so delighted to get a shot of him. He is a whitethroat all the way from Africa. Fancy such a tiny bird beaing capable of flying all that way!


 Unfortunately he wouldn't turn towards me but never mind, I might see him again :o)


I think this is a field forget-me-not but maybe someone out there can confirm or correct me on that :o)
I hope you all have a great BH weekend while I am working!
