A vase on Monday - little sweeties

It's been a pretty bleak weekend, for a number of reasons, so I have found the pretty colours of a few primrose plants in the garden particularly cheering.  There are a couple of frilly scented geranium leaves, left over from last summer, in my little old Devon violet vase as well.  I thought the painted strip of collage worked quite well with last week's vase, so here it features again!

  1. Oh your little Devon violet vase is perfect for these little beauties in their candy colours - sweeties indeed!

  2. Have just discovered your blog - lovely to see a bit of southern Scotland. I moved from Edinburgh last year (after 33 years) back up to Speyside where I grew up. Didn't realise how much I would miss the landscapes down there! These are gorgeous flowers. So heartening to see a bit of spring colour.

    1. Welcome to the running wave Linda! And thank you for your message. I will visit you on Instagram where I would love to post my photos but can't work out how to transfer them from iPhoto to Instagram on my laptop! I am not sure it is possible! My granddaughter reliably informs me that I can do it all on my phone, but that's not where my photos are - so it hasn't happened yet! A

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.
