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

The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title!

The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

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.
