Springwatch

I've been watching spring creeping up on a view I rather like on one of our walks.  It captures the corner of a garden, where it juts out into a big field.  I've enjoyed watching it turn from various shades of brown, to the greens and pinks of young new leaves and blossom of springtime.

 On 3 April,
24 April, 
and today, 9 May.

    What a transformation! Loving the pinky tones against the green! 🌸🌿

    Yes, they are lovely! Yesterday's photo was taken in a different sideways light, late afternoon, so it makes the colours a bit sharper. May must be the most beautiful month of the year. The weather so far hasn't been great, hope it settles down a bit so that the fresh blossom doesn't get beaten up, like the wild cherry has! Happens every year! A x

    It's so lovely to see the change! We know it occurs but when you see it in photo form it makes it so real. Xx

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.

Found items IAVOM

I am on holiday on the Inner Hebridean island of Colonsay. It is my happy place. Thoughts of Colonsay rattle around in my head each and every day I am not here! I haven't got a vase to share this week but some lovely things I have found over the past few days, which are just as beautiful as a vase of flowers! I hope you agree! Here are some leaves of giant rhododendrons, growing in the outer gardens of Colonsay House. Some skeleton leaves of magnolia. The dried stem of a kelp seaweed. A couple of conkers (can never resist those!), and a branch heavily populated by a number of lichens. The air on Colonsay is so clean that lichens flourish here!
