Frosty morning

We've had a couple of frosts over the last few days but this morning was a real winter wake up call!  Here are a few photos taken early today when I took the children down the drive to wait for the school bus.

This photo was taken by Number Two Grandson who took charge of the camera before I could get my hands on it!  It's a slighty squiffy out of focus image but it has a real feel of the moment and I thought he might enjoy seeing his picture on the blog!  Always good for young confidence.
As we head out of the wood this is our view across the fields to Traprain Law.  It's always beautiful, in all weathers, every light and time of day.
It is such a lovely sunny morning that Tilly and I decided to walk around the stubble field.  The frost was on the chestnut leaves and the remains of the corn stalks reminded me of the little straws we used to have at primary school for our third of a pint bottles of milk.
Photographs are great for capturing moments but I would need a very sophisticated camera to really be able to convey how magical this view was.  The frost was on every stem and the sun shining through gave a wonderful haze of light.

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.
