Alcove and Garden Statue, from 2018
Mellow pink coloured wall and alcove in this pretty garden focal point, Hestercombe House, #Somerset
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekPforPink #gardens #stonewalls #statues

A colour photograph in portrait format. It shows a section of garden wall made of narrow slate/stone. In the wall is a circular alcove of pink stone and in this is a stone representation of a basket of fruit. Pretty, but you might walk by and not even see it.

A new seamless repeat - Star Crinoids.

These fossils can be found worldwide, especially in areas where there is limestone and shale. And in the UK, they are sometimes called fairy coins. 🧚

A photo of Elton Reservoir yesterday in dense fog.
A white buoy is floating on the still water.
Along the horizon a line of tree is just barely visible through the fog

Happy #BlueSkyMonday!

It’s dull and damp here today, so I’m remembering a lovely summer’s day in Cornwall.

Have a good week all 💙💗

Cuckooflower blooms around the same time that the cuckoo begins to call in spring.
It may not be topical in mid- October but it's a contender for #WeekPforPink 🌸

Each flower has 4 small, delicate, pink petals, veined with darker pink
