Flowers

The house we stayed in last week had a small orchard - and a rather good vegetable garden - around the based of the trees, which I think were apples, but could have been pears, was a garland of forget-me-nots.

I was a wonderful place to stay.  Pretty much the only noise was the rain on the roof, the wind in the trees and a crackle settling of logs on the fire.  I got a bit a damp lying on the grass to take this image.



You can find more images from around the world at Our World Tuesday.

  14. they look like bluebells Stewart but maybe not. Sounds like a wonderful retreat for time-out and photography excursions from a comfortable base. Getting down on the ground - do you venture there for bird photography sometimes? I've often been tempted but ponder it'd be just my luck someone'd walk by thinking I've had a heart attack!

  16. Well worth getting wet Stewart! My family has groaned at me more than once for laying down in the street or other places to get a good angle.
