Sunday, 1 December 2013

I made an unambitious plan earlier in the year that throughout the month of December I would post just one photograph every day, which would not necessarily be of great merit but would merely record one aspect of my day.  This could prove to be difficult next week because I am going to be away (Marrakech actually ....) and I am not taking my laptop so I will be rather reliant on my daughter's iPhone.  If that wheeze doesn't work then I will just have to catch up with myself when I get back.

So here is the first photograph for today, Sunday, 1 December 2013
and, because it has been such a perfect day and Mr Gaucho, Tilly and I enjoyed a lovely walk in amongst the Lammermuirs, I am adding a few extra photos because it was all just too good not to share.
 Below, where sheep may safely shelter - under an elderly juniper tree.  
We were accompanied on our walk by the chattering of black grouse.  Apart from the occasional frantic flapping flight from one patch of bracken to another, we didn't see many of them but they were definitely there.  Very vocal creatures!

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.
