looking at the garden

I took these images of our garden a few weeks back, in love with the vivid hues around at the time. Of course these flowers have mostly faded now, the garden changes so quickly, the bright oranges of early May have withered to be replaced by other colours and shades. As I look around the garden I see plants that work together, others that don't, plants I'd like to move, plants I wish would multiply, others I need to tame. I can't stop looking, learning and planning, this garden excites me so much!

lately

A little bit of green from our garden and elsewhere. We can't keep ourselves out of the garden lately. Every evening we potter about outside, a mix of jobs and a little relaxation - it's feels so good!

• as I wait for the train, I can't help but look up at the vivid green of the trees
• our garden is bursting with life and colour, a new plant seems to be showing off every day
• each of our beds has a different colour theme 
• how sweet is this aricula theatre at the Geffrye Museum
• serious fern envy, in the garden of the Geffrye Museum
• back in our garden
