Out of the blue

We have been away for a week, with no internet, and therefore nothing new on the running wave.  I have over 400 photographs to trawl through before I can post anything here, so in the meantime, here's a modest collection featuring blue, starting in Marrakech
Spain
Melbourne
New York
Applecross
Long Island
 Marrakech again,
 across the sea, to Jura
Spanish fishing nets
Aboriginal totem pole, Melbourne
Prestonpans, near Edinburgh
the Dandenongs, Victoria, Australia
the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria
 the paps of Jura

No, not in Salcombe, Port de Soller, Majorca!

    The Salcombe boat certainly bought back an avalanche of great memories, one of my most favourite places on the planet. And I have walked past that so many many times.
    Old Girls is fab too.
    Cheers to Blue.

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!

Colonsay postcards - on arrival

The first thing I do, once we have unpacked our car, which has been groaning with all the stuff we need for a week's stay in the holiday cottage, is head for the outer gardens of Colonsay House. It is a place of wonder for me! I particularly love the leaves of the giant rhododendrons. There are many different varieties, all planted in the early 1930s. The outer gardens are generally overgrown, having had little tending over the decades. That makes them even more magical! The old woodmill falls apart a little more every year, but that's fine by me because I love corrugated iron and especially if it's rusted! And of course the bees. Colonsay's beekeeper, Andrew Abrahams, has one of his apiaries on the edge of the pine wood. So lovely - the hum of busy bees and the heady smell of the pines. We are here - finally! Delayed by four months by the wretched virus, but now I am on holiday! Hooray!

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!
