Frozen

Imagine my surprise, stepping outside into the garden late last night, avec le chien, to find a merest sprinkle of snow.  It was certainly not deep, or even, but very crispy and crunchy with night time temperatures of about -1C.  

This morning, after a Skype with my son and the little Melbourne Munchkin (with a rendition of Frozen from herself), Mr Gaucho gave us a lift into the village, and the DGs (doggy girls) and I walked back along a section of the John Muir Way.  The earth does indeed stand hard as iron.  
That's the North Sea, forming the grey line across the centre of the photo below.  
Water, like a stone - or a cave painting.
 And hay bales, swiss rolls dusted with icing sugar.

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.
