October’s Last Photo
Posted on November 1, 2022
Autumn is now well advanced, but this borage has appeared only recently. We have seen a few in the past couple of years, all emanating from a bag of mixed wildflower seeds that were sewn in, and until now confined to, raised flower beds, but this one obviously jumped over the side and managed to make its escape.

I don’t know what these flowers are called, but I’d certainly say that the petals are tinged with magenta.
Hydrangea – A closer View
Posted on August 5, 2022
It’s macro week in Cee’s midweek challenge, so let’s take a closer look at the hydrangea from my previous post.
Hydrangea
Posted on August 4, 2022
The theme for the Fun Foto Challenge this week is something that reminds us of nature’s beauty.
I seem to recall from my distant days as a Philosophy undergraduate that there is quite some debate as to whether ‘beauty’ exists anywhere other than the eye of the beholder. However, it’s hard to argue against the view that this hydrangea – a recent addition to our garden- fits the bill on this occasion.
Can’t Go Wrong With Raindrops

Captured on the wet morning of a recent coach trip, you just can’t go wrong with raindrops on flowers, can you?
What’s Eating Our Clematis?
Posted on June 4, 2022
Some tiny creature obviously took a fancy to this clematis bud before it got the chance to flower.
Mediterranean Spurge
Posted on May 4, 2022
This is a close-up view of the intricate flower of a Mediterranean Spurge, a plant I had never seen – or even heard of – before, but which is growing strongly in my son’s garden.
To give an idea of scale, the green ovoid disc of which the flower is at the heart is no more than a centimetre (about a third of an inch) in diameter.

Succulent
Posted on December 1, 2021
I don’t know what this bit of flora is called. It looks like a succulent of some kind and I saw it in the town of Cahors. It is definitely all one colour though.
Looking Into The Lily
Posted on November 3, 2021
It’s macro week in Cee’s ongoing midweek challenge.
This is another image captured on my iPhone using the Halide photo app, which features what I think is a pretty impressive macro capability.
