garden moodboard - june 2014

It's taken me a long time to get round to posting this June moodboard [yes, June, I know it's nearing the middle of July]! 

Looking outside today it almost seems summer has past, there is a chill in the air and it poured with rain all morning. Still it's only July and I'm hoping there is more in the way of summer sun to come. June I remember as being warmer and drier, at least the watering can seemed to be out most nights.

This month I've also included a twitchy little animation, which kind of shows my process of building the moodboard. As I add more flowers I click with the camera, moving the flowers a touch this way and that, trying to create a picture as I work. This month also involved trying to banish a lot of little bugs that came amongst the flowers, they seemed especially to like the Scabiosa and Sweet Pea - you know those little critters? I could hardly believe how many seemed to be living in each flower. 

[Each month I join Karin and Åsa in this series of monthly moodboards].

lately [ish]

• waiting at Kings Cross
• in the garden
• gas holders, seen from the train
• construction looks pretty through the window of a bus

I really need to post my June garden moodboard, I know it's mid July nearly! It's done, I just need to get around to posting it here...later today or tomorrow I hope. Then there is the Le Tour, D got some great pictures I'd love to share. Bare with me please, I'm making very slow progress in blogland right now!

Chicken and Pingu at 24 days

These photographs were taken on Monday, when Chicken and Pingu were 24 days old, that means they've now been out of the egg longer than they were inside! Aw these two are just so cute, they flit and flap about, are very friendly and like nothing more than snuggling on either my or D's lap. They really are cute as can be.
