Tuesday tally

Tilly and I had a brisk walk around the block today.  Walking through the big field behind the house, we saw a snipe, a small herd of curlews (!) and two hares.  Later, I stood and watched another hare running, in haphazard fashion, around another field.  I can't imagine what it's agenda was, but it seemed a bit undecided!  While I watched the hare, I listened to a skylark overhead, working its way through its 20 minute repertoire.    What a treat!

Not sure what these ladies were thinking about as they gazed at us pass by.  I would love to know! The one in the middle looks a bit worried.

  1. Perhaps the hare was practising it's 'tacking' technique as a fast getaway for a later adventure!

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.
