Project 365: Week #11

A wonderful Spring day meant we got to spend hours in the garden last weekend. A few more cobwebs were blown away when the car returned bringing with it a sense of escapism. The walk to nursery has continued though – we get to have a natter and you never know what you’ll see.

Welcome to Project 365: Week #11.

Day 68

Sunday was glorious, so much so the Dove clan were in Summer clothes! POD’s swing got it’s first airing in a while – you’ll see one happy three year old in this post. There were ladybirds and butterflies everywhere too – it was almost as if they’d been told it’s time now, go for it!

Choosing one photograph for day 68 was tough as I captured this ladybird in the grass,

a butterfly sunning itself on Daddy’s shed. Not to mention loads of POD!

Day 69

It wasn’t as warm today but POD wanted to be outdoors. Play consisted of transferring water from one watering can to another and then to a bucket. She took a dislike to my only daffodil as she pulled its head off shortly after I took this photograph!

Day 70

In a corner of the green we share with the residents in our road is a circle of daffodils framed with crocuses. These bulbs were planted in memory of our neighbour’s wife who died last year – it’s wonderful to see them bloom for the first time.

Day 71

With the car back, Wednesday saw me pay RHS Wisley’s Alpine Houses and Centenary Crevice Garden a fleeting visit. It was awesome – there’s a post with my favourite photographs here.

Day 72

It was a foggy (or froggy as POD calls it) walk to nursery today. But amazing because there were dewy webs everywhere.

Day 73

This was a speedy capture on the way back from nursery. The inside of this flower almost looks like a miniature pipecleaner that’s been twirled round a pen.

Day 74

We had dinner with friends in nearby Hampshire on Friday evening and stayed overnight. This stream, currently lined with daffodils, is visible from their bathroom window. There’s a beautiful mossy wooden bench just to the right too.
