Thursday and Friday

It's been a cold, wet, rather bleak day today, but that doesn't stop Tilly remaining on squirrel alert. She has a good vantage point from her armchair, by the garden door.  Nothing escapes her attention!
Yesterday, the weather was a very different kettle of fish!  It was bright and sunny, the sun silvered the fine grasses, dainty and shimmering, as the wind blew through the wood, along the field's edge.
On the other side of the field, the immaculately constructed wasps nest, in the elderberry bush, which I photographed earlier in the year, is now vacated and in a state of collapse.
And here's the best bit!  Young hazel catkins are already here, biding their time until the New Year when they will flower.  I love the way plants are always looking ahead - such positive thinkers!

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!

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.
