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.

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!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.

Found items IAVOM

I am on holiday on the Inner Hebridean island of Colonsay. It is my happy place. Thoughts of Colonsay rattle around in my head each and every day I am not here! I haven't got a vase to share this week but some lovely things I have found over the past few days, which are just as beautiful as a vase of flowers! I hope you agree! Here are some leaves of giant rhododendrons, growing in the outer gardens of Colonsay House. Some skeleton leaves of magnolia. The dried stem of a kelp seaweed. A couple of conkers (can never resist those!), and a branch heavily populated by a number of lichens. The air on Colonsay is so clean that lichens flourish here!
