Right now it is all about the garden
Spring has sprung and it is full speed ahead for the garden getting it ready for summer.
Winter in the Garden
It has been so cold around here and we have had so many frosts. It is surprising that anything is growing, but growing it is.
A new video where I’m talking to you
I’ve been trying to work up to this and I finally did a new video where I’m talking to you. I have revealed myself, so to speak, or my face at least.
Springtime in my garden
The last few days I’ve been out in my garden weeding, so too tired, but here is a touch of springtime. The flowers are starting to come out.
Monochrome Madness – A still lily
Yes, I think I will keep doing Monochrome Madness and today I have a still lily for you. I took it the other day while I still had the macro lens from Fujifilm.
Monochrome Madness – A dahlia
We have put ourselves in self-isolation so for monochrome madness I have done a dahlia in black and white. It was a quick process.
Floral Friday late but not cancelled

Floral Friday is hard to do at the moment as the weather has played havoc, but I thought I would try and show the garden today.
Some videos to give you ideas
