Monday walk

This morning Mr Gaucho dropped the dogs and me along the coast for us to walk home.  Here are some of the lovely things we saw on the way.  
A desert of lapwings!
A Small Copper butterfly
 And a parcel of oystercatchers 
 with an interloper in the form of a curlew!
Not too far away, across the water, Edinburgh was rocking with festival goers and all sorts of crazy creative stuff going on.  We walked in warm sunshine with the sound of gentle waves running in as the tide turned and wafts of rugosa roses and salty ozone.  Lovely!

    Beautiful - wish I was walking with you. Those shells would make lovely jewels.

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.
