Here they come again!

I can hardly believe that it's been a year since we stood in a good vantage point to watch the Red Arrows come zooming in overhead to entertain the onlookers at the East Fortune Air Show. They came at us, on a direct course from Edinburgh, and then threw themselves around the skies above us, with their usual supreme skill and precision. Wonderful!

I used a setting on my camera which was supposed to reduce blurriness when photographing fast moving things, but all that seems to have happened is that photos have a rather painterly effect. Actually, I rather like it!

Fifteen minutes later they regrouped and headed off out over the North Sea, leaving behind them their patriotic vapour trails. Adios Red Arrows, until next year!

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.
