A welcome guest

We had a rather special visitor to one of the peanut feeders yesterday morning.  A jay.  A big and handsome bird, who comes into the garden quite often, but this is the first time we have seen him so close to the house.  He more or less joined us for breakfast!

  1. He really is special; Jays are so rarely seen normally. Is he a young one, do you think? He isn't as colourful as the adult birds I've seen, who are a flash of pinks, blues and greys as they dash away from view. Lovely, clear photos of him.

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.
