A vase for All Hallows

In my new found tradition of posting A Vase on Monday, I thought I would do one for Halloween as well. As everything seems to turn orange during October, in the lead up to the pumpkin and cobwebbed world of All Hallows, I thought I would use nasturtiums in my jazzy Venezuelan ceramic bottle!

To be honest, the world is so full of trickery, spooks and general ghastliness that I think Halloween ghouls will pale into insignificance this evening, but I hope you enjoy the pumpkin soup, apple bobbing and any other treats that may come your way today!

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.
