Cheshire Country Lane in May

Insects I came across enjoying the warmth, though some are not so fond of the bright sunlight and hide away deep in the undergrowth.

Bunbury

An ancient Cheshire village close to Beeston Castle, with an impressive church, old mill and canal locks close by. This another of my favourite local places to visit for inspiration.
