Shadow Shot Sunday – marking out
Perhaps not a conventional shadow shot ….. but today we had fun in the garden on a scorching hot day, looking at how shadows changed over the course of the day. Rumpus loved this! Every hour or so, he stood on the ‘X’ and I drew around his shadow with chalk … and we were [...]

So Bella was playing on the swing, and I happened to have my camera in my hand, when I noticed some rather splendid shadows on the lawn …. I love the way they tell the story of what’s happening, and the stuctural qualities of the swing supports and the small greenhouse casting the other shadow [...]

Nipped in the bud
Can’t decide if it’s very late or very early … whatever the case may be, my rose’s optimism turns out to have been misplaced.

Hebe Bee

Calendula
Calendula – just about my favourite flower. I love the bright cheerfulness of their orange blooms – the dark walnut of the shelf really highlights it - AND Rumpus picked this one for me …

2009-08-16 Full Blown Roses
The garden has been busy whilst we’ve been away – I concentrated on the positive, so, rather than a picture of the bucket of caterpillars I picked off my devastated brassicas, I give you a picture of my beautiful roses, full blown. I only wish I could add the fragrance, which is just divine.
