Poppy decided it was time to get up at 6.30 this morning!   I am glad she did because we could enjoy the earlyt morning midsummer sunshine, especially now that our old Leylandii tree has gone.  It really stopped the morning sunshine.   What a change today, from the pouring rain which had greeted us in London yesterday.  I went for my camera and took a few shots of the brightly coloured flowers blooming in the garden,  while Lily and Poppy did their usual sniffing about  on the dew covered grass.

The sunshine seem to make the colour so vibrant, the yellow of the broom bush, the pure white Cosmos and the Red Campion which grows in a corner of our garden beside the bird table.

So here are a few early morning flower portraits.
