A serious splash of colour

I love colour.  I love soft colours, bright colours, clashing colours, colours in muted tones - all of it. But I have to admit to being ambivalent about the screamingly yellow fields of oilseed rape, which adorn our fields at this time of the year.  On a bright sunny day, with a searing blue sky overhead, it is quite painful to look at a oilseed rape field at close quarters, even though the colour combination is enough to knock your socks off.

I think I like to see these garish fields from a distance.  This morning, grey and windy, there was a little weak sunshine to pick up the yellow of a couple of distant fields, and they definitely cheered the landscape up a bit.
The weather hasn't really got going today, and nor has Tilly.  She's spent the entire day in her favourite armchair, dreaming of hares!

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!

(Not) in a vase on Monday!

The challenge this week, set by Cathy at  https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com to celebrate five years of In a Vase on Monday, was to offer (Not) in a vase on Monday!  So here is my interpretation of that idea with one of my Plant Belles, which I tend to use for things I find and enjoy.  I weave bits and pieces through the metal ribs and keep them until they fall apart, or something even better turns up!  Lichen covered twigs, branches of larch with tiny cones, seed heads, twisted heather stems, anything and everything that has form and beauty.
