Heading west - day two

Having spent an outrageous £6.50 for two cups of coffee in Costa at the motorway services, we continued our journey south and west.  Again, the traffic was light and by lunchtime we reached our destination, in the wooded valleys of mid-Devon.  The sun shone gently in a soft blue sky.  
It great to be here again.  It is very peaceful!  
Today has been a beautiful early Autumn day, with a golden light and some lovely colours emerging in the woods and along the hedgerows.

  1. Lovely autumnal colours, I think your photography is great and I really enjoy the way you follow the seasons. Sometimes I think Cornwall only has two - cold and wet, or warm and wet! At least up in Scotland you have the distinction of winter, and by the looks of it lots of great blue sky! Antonia x

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!
