The pink spikes still glowing – even in October.

It is an annual that I grow for these wonderful seed heads

Busy Year – Big Silence (sorry)
Like this Dahlia – The Turning Year has been neglected for the past 8 months – if anyone is still there ….

Iris ‘Katherine Hodgkin’
Thankfully the year has turned once again …
I have left behind my January funk
Today I was greeted by these Iris “Katherine Hodgkin”
Simply lovely.
Seagulls
It is so icy that the seagulls are on the lookout for food in the garden.
Usually they don’t visit our garden
Solstice Moon
Sadly, last night the lunar eclipse was hidden by cloud.
To-night, the moon peeped out briefly.
Bright blessing to you all.
Especially for Esther …

Esther is sad that no images have been here for a while
Thank you for the nudge Esther –
This is especially for you.

The dark annual poppy (Papaver somniferum) has gently self seeded in the garden
Flowers from the Garden
A grey and blustery day today
Followed by high winds and wet rain this evening.
Feels like November – but the flowers remind me that it is still summer.
