Garden Flowers
The garden is doing its thing.
After four years of summer neglect, my garden is rolling along. Lots of weeds and definitely needs some tidying up, but it’s doing pretty well, considering.
The Lambs Ears (above) are happy with their temporary home. Read more “Garden Flowers”

July Garden and Cats
I’m taking off on tour next week with Dusk Dances.
So this week I’ve been staying pretty close to home enjoying my garden. Things have been growing well this year. Like this lovely plant, Astilboides tabularis, or what Curtis, who gifted it to me refers to as “Big Leaf Betty.”
Big Leaf Betty has some delicately busy flowers coming up just now.
So does my Ribbon Grass (Phalaris arundinacea).
In fact many of my plants are in flower. Like the Wild Geranium (Geranium sanguineum)…
… and the Hydrangea…
… and the Gazania, which a friend encouraged me to buy for the garden this year. I’m glad I did.
The cats, although not in flower, seem to be having an excellent time lazing about amid the greenery and showyness of July.
It’s put them both in an excellent and friendly mood.
Me too.
And for those of you for whom black and white gardens just aren’t colourful enough, here’s a gallery of the same shots in full, glorious colour:

Forsythia and the Cat
It’s been a more gentle winter than last year. But it’s been cold. Very cold.
In spite of the sun, there have been plenty of dark days.
On January 1st I trimmed some branches from my forsythia and forced them indoors. Read more “Forsythia and the Cat”
Changing Weather, Changing Skies
These photographs were all taken from the same vantage point within the same half hour as the clouds moved and the light faded. Read more “Changing Weather, Changing Skies”
