Beautiful rose. Looks similar to one I have in my garden.

A blush rose from my summer garden photographed under the sunlight. Fully double very light pink petals, a bit darker shade of soft pink in the middle. This is quite different from my other roses with its soft colour yet stunning and fragrant. I left it to grow over 6 feet on the east front wall of the house over a wood trellis. Green leaves in background and a bud to the top left.

Subtle, soft, and quietly stunning!

Whiplash waking up to these photos alongside what the President has been saying. Hard to find words to describe the feeling of seeing these photos. I can't imagine what it was like for the crew to see it with their own eyes. Wow.

They are gorgeous, much more sophisticated than the regular tulips. I’ve got red ones with a touch of white.

A different way to interpret ‘tree hugger’ 😁

Since it’s #RockinTuesday you should go hug a rock today😁

A gorgeous blue sky and this beautiful blossoming tree stopped me dead in my tracks on my walk to work yesterday morning.

Good morning! 🪶

Oh wouldn't that be nice. A little weather exchange. 😉

Beautiful image to start the day, Jean. 👋🏼 Sorry to hear you might have a freeze coming. We've continued to experience unseasonable warmth here. 🙄 Hoping for a little cool down later this week.

Clouds blanket over the shoreline as snow and rain showers move out over the ocean. As the sun rises some clouds are lit up with some colors. The water is calm reflecting the sky and landscape.

Good morning friends! Happy Tuesday! It’s going to be windy and chilly today. We should get close to 50 but it’ll feel like 40. Here’s today’s #SunriseMagic on the #CTShoreline with clouds. Have a great day wherever you are! 😊 #landscape #photography #reflections

Slow is frustrating for sure.

I need a day off and some cooler weather to just focus my attention on getting the plants squared away. Some of the flowers are getting leggy because I haven't been able to get them into the ground.

They are the accompaniment to the bird song. Nature's orchestra.

Head and neck and shoulders of a chicken-like bird with a crest. Its feathers are a delicate pattern of a thousand shades of brown.

Ruffed Grouse are such cool birds. They can be *right there* and still hard to see. It’s aways exciting when you catch a glimpse!

Enjoy those tulips!

I delivered a few young tomato plants to a friend on Saturday. The rest of the crew is headed outside to harden off.

The ranunculus are getting started, the nasturtium are blooming all over, and the pansies and violas are coming into their time. 🤞🏼

What about you?

On Easter Eve, they kept to the old ways in Old Fox's parish church, barely ruffled by the Reformation, although the Abbey had, of course, suffered great changes. As such, it was the tradition to guard the Easter sepulchre in St Thomas's throughout Holy Saturday until the Reverend Lion came just before dawn on Easter morning. That year, Old Fox and Grey Brock and Miss Stevenson took turns. Old Fox took books and writing materials, but often just chatted to visitors or to the resident ghosts of the church; Grey Brock took his knitting and some wood to whittle into Easter figures for his nephews, and Miss Stevenson took Vanity Fair (a much-read favourite), the crossword and a stack of Easter cards to write for her many friends and acquaintances. At Midnight, Old Fox was there alone, having packed the other two off to their respective beds. The church held its holy silence like the caves along the Dorset coast, a silence lashed by waves and scattered by sea birds. Old Fox was the only one who could push un-torn through the thorn-bridge from Eve to Day; the only one to see the kind and gentle man enter, tall form thundered by light, rest his muddy spade by the heavy Norman door, remove his battered felt hat, and greet Old Fox as a King greets a dear and much-respected old friend.
