A real winter treat

One of our routes into North Berwick is currently a favourite with me.  There is steep twisty bit where the road turns sharply to the left.  Just before it becomes dark and shady there are carpets of snowdrops on either side of the road.  They are just so delicious to see and definitely enough to make my heart sing.  I keep thinking about all the poor souls in the south and south west of England, battling with such appalling weather and the devastation of their homes.  Over the past few weeks, in this little corner of south east Scotland, we have come off remarkably lightly, weatherwise, but down south it just seems to go from bad to worse.  So these snowdrops are for those dealing with all the ghastliness.
And here is this evening's sunset, because the colours through the bare trees were so amazing.

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.
