Across the field a large long shadow breaks into sunlight on golden Autumnal trees

Enjoy seeing Green Woodpecker visit our garden, but not a close-up view.
S/he likes an area of undisturbed grass, full of ant hills.
To see each feathery detail in your pic is a joy 🪶

I can’t watch/listen. Profoundly disturbing 🤮

Close up of a yellow Gorse flower upon blue/green spiky foliage. In the distance, a Weeping Crab Apple tree laden with amber fruits

Little pink flowers of Herb Robert. Bright fresh green leaves. Beside is a garden plant with purple-bronze leaves

Group of funghi, looking like doughy golden buns or Yorkshire puds?!

#Bloomscrolling 🌱
Enjoying every drop of sunlight & colour & every petal 🌈✨💕🌸

Downward facing rose in sunshine after stormy rain. Old Blush rose, delicate sugar pink petals, slender stems. Wild grassy bank behind with possibly a Violet flowering?

Late bloomer - Hesperantha coccinea has a cluster of beautiful pink flowers on a tall stem. In a pot shared with Cotoneaster & other plants from way back in our previous home

Peachy pink Begonia flower in sunshine with succulents around same pot

Swishy copper coloured grass, blown horizontal by storm winds - can’t recall its name?
Pink flowers of Oxalis, magenta Dianthus flowers + Mexican fleabane daisies tumbled all together in sunlight.

🌬️Storm Benjamin? No problem for my OxEye Daisy pals! 🕊️🌼🌾

Stems blown sideways by Storm Benjamin, but these two OxEye Daisy flowers continue to shine!

Sending a proper Charlie pic for you! xx 💕🎾🐾🥰

Charlie dog was a white Staffie x terrier? My best pal/neighbour adopted him from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.
Here Charlie is in Autumn leaves on grass at the park, with one of many favourite green tennis balls in his mouth.
Charlie is wearing a bright striped crochet ‘grandad gilet’ - made by me (Nanny).
He made life brighter for all who met him.

#RoseWednesday
Love from the garden 💕🌹🌺🪴💐

My hand holding a late flower of a very pink Rose. Blue sky between light clouds and trees behind

Colourfully painted terracotta pot contains tiny plant of Rosa x odorata ‘Bengal Crimson’ - delicate wavy stems with slender crimson rosebuds.
Behind are white Asters and palm fronds beyond. Beside is a woven bamboo cloche placed over a small square terracotta pot, home to a Salvia cutting (needs attention!)

Finished us in our previous home - & the poor dogs/wildlife.
If you suffer with PTSD - excessive explosive sound is traumatising.
All good to celebrate Diwali, but fireworks got louder/longer each year.
Smoke still in the air next morning, an asthmatic's nightmare.
Signed countless petitions…

Pic of Charlie dog lying in half-light. He was terrified of firework flashes & excessive loud sudden bangs. He tried to hide under furniture, heart pounding. Caring for him at these times was traumatic for all concerned. Love.
