Life cycle of a spud

I am rather fond of photographing the field at the end of the drive. Three years ago it grew pumpkins and although I have photos of the golden globes they are marooned on my old computer and I have to work out a way of getting them transferred onto my MacBook. It can't be difficult but it's a task for another time. I have photographed the field over the period of a year before and today I decided that it might be quite fun to do it again and chart it's journey here.

At the moment there are seed potatoes cosily tucked up in these tidy rows, just quietly doing their thing until such time as the first green shoots appear to interrupt the immaculate stripes!

We will return in due course.

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week. The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds. Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

(Not) in a vase on Monday!

The challenge this week, set by Cathy at https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com to celebrate five years of In a Vase on Monday, was to offer (Not) in a vase on Monday! So here is my interpretation of that idea with one of my Plant Belles, which I tend to use for things I find and enjoy. I weave bits and pieces through the metal ribs and keep them until they fall apart, or something even better turns up! Lichen covered twigs, branches of larch with tiny cones, seed heads, twisted heather stems, anything and everything that has form and beauty.
