Honeysuckle and wild roses

So, I may have missed out on the creamy blossom of the hedgerow hawthorn whilst I was away, but the honeysuckle and wild roses which are now in bloom more than make up for that. The countryside is looking absolutely stunning.

The briar roses have that wonderful appley smell which you just catch as you walk by,

the foxgloves in the woods around our house are looking wonderful

and so are the fields further along the track.

You need to be listening to the soaring sky lark whilst reading this - just for the full effect!

It's good to be home - although I am sorely missing that little girlie in Melbourne. Good thing I took hundreds of photos to remind me that we were together for a while.

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.
