June Roses
Jude’s garden challenge theme this month is the ‘Essence of Summer’. At the weekend I went to Northernhay, a park in the centre of town that I hadn’t been to for years. i don’t even remember it being planted as abundantly, but the borders were a credit to the gardeners, and they made my heart sing, especially the roses.
Visit Jude for some fragrant lilies, to see what others are posting and perhaps to join in.
Wordless Wednesday
Mundane Monday
Part of a belated Birthday present!
Not actually that mundane to me, I wonder what Jithin thinks.
Just Back From . . .
. . . Exmouth last night
Via Topsham Quay, looking back down to the estuary.
and back up towards Exeter.
The grey sky and heavy rain of the afternoon cleared away for a lovely evening.
Transience, Paula’s Thursday Special
For her Thursday special the week, Paula is trying something different, a list of five words to choose from to base a photo on. I’ve chosen transience. To be honest, I might be back again, because I like most of the words.
I spotted this on the beach yesterday.
We are just a blink of the eye.

Late Spring Wildflowers
I think it’s the last weekend for Jude’s Wildflower theme and I found these four simple pretties while I was walking the dogs today, so I thought I’d share them.
You can join in and or see some other entries here!

A Plant in the Post
What constitutes a wild flower? Among Jude’s definitions are ones that haven’t been planted. I totally admire the tenacity of plants that burst up between rocks, through tiny gaps in paving stones and I’ve even seen Buddleia growing roof on guttering, three floors up. So, wild Campanula does grow in the UK, but this is an escapee, a seed deposited by the wind perhaps, that managed to attach itself to a minute grain of earthy material to help it germinate. I think the spot it’s chosen, attached to a container for things going on a journey, is a perfect foil for its wild spirit, do you agree?
The theme for Jude’s Garden Challenge this month is wild flowers, why not join in?
