A lovely walk

The walking group struck out along a few Lammermuir hill tracks today.  It was raining, and we had water running down our cheeks and off the end of our noses.  There was a cold wind blowing down the across the moor, and visibility was poor.  But, what the heck!  It was wonderful!  The ling is in bloom and at its peak.  It smelt delicious - just like taking the lid off a jar of heather honey.  The purple hills were glorious, the sun shone in pools across the landscape, and there was a rainbow - it was all just too good!  Why would you want to be anywhere else!
It rained for most of our walk, but cleared as we came down off the moor.  A wonderful morning, despite the weather!

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.
