I’ve been wanting to take another photo surveying the back garden for a few days now but had to wait until this morning for it to be a little bit overcast. Bright sun is wonderful but the camera can’t cope with the contrast between light and shade that it produces. Even here, half an hour earlier, with a more uniform grey sky and before the clouds started to pull apart would have been easier.

As far as the contents of the garden go, ox-eyed daisies are in their element although there are other plants blooming as well. In the past couple of years, I’ve missed the June photo so it is a bit hard to tell if the daisies are likely to decline soon of their own accord or if I need to give them a helping hand to make room for the next round of contenders.
