The Rule of Three, that is.
Three white Field Roses, complete with three insects: 17 June 2019
The white field rose blossoms a few weeks later than the more commonly-seen pink dog rose. Here, three friendly pollinators do their job, oblivious to the camera that captures them at their chores.

I thank you. Didn’t snap very much else, just roses. Six miles of rose-riddled hedgerows, only possible where the farms are organic. Witness those bugs.

Love that. Rose-riddled hedgerows… decorated with bugs doing their thing.

Mostly they’re pollinating. Though some are nibbling chunks out of sweet petals.
This walk is one of the richest I know for plant variety in the hedgerows. Despite the verges are cut back (for road safety) the actual hedges are left alone. And the fields beyond are clearly not sprayed; neither herbicide nor pesticide. As to fertiliser, the roadside ‘dumps’ of maturing manure certainly lets you know this is all organic. I have, at times, taken photos of these, but haven’t yet found a way to capture the smell.

That all good… you can keep the scent of organic dumps to yourself. I can imagine it well enough without pictures 😉
Glad you have such nice places to walk.

Apart from the manure?
Historically parts of Norfolk were known as *wooded country*, in contrast to *champion country*. In this case, champion means field, in reference to the open-field method of communal agriculture. The *wooded* referred to hedgerows, for here the fields were small and enclosed. They were hardly touched by the Parliamentary enclosures. Some hedges were grubbed out during the heyday of EU subsidies, but they never created the huge prairies such as seen to the west of the county, the agri-businesses. As such, they can’t compete. And so, they turn to organic farming, cos that’s a specialist market with high returns.

And kudos to them for being able to do so.

I would agree, except that’s their best way to survive. And so glad I am of it too. It’s a lovely part of the county.

As extras, they were very obliging. I didn’t even have to pay them.

You’re very welcome Crispina. I think you’re very lucky to be surrounded in such beauty. I still have to buy a camera. Everywhere I look is Green. Lush and green. 🙂

In my opinion, winter’s the best time to buy a camera. Plenty of time to train yourself before the real action begins. 🙂

Oh! Right. Thanks for the advice. It’s expensive too. Film and all that. Hmm You process your own don’t you?

No, Jen. Digital. Like the phone cameras. Don’t need film. Stores on a memory card. Mistakes don’t matter, you simply delete

That’s how I started. Get a phone with camera of the highest megapixels as you can afford. The more megapixals, the better resolution the photos
