a little late summer turning to autumn herbaceousness for your delight and delectation…. It has been a few days since my last blog entry and I have been busy working, gardening and photographing.
A new camera has already improved the picture offering I think, with more natural and realistic colours. With file sizes between 10MG and 20MB the most recent and future photos really ought to be a step up in quality and definition.
But to business and a gallery, or two, or three to bring us more or less up to date with my horticultural magpie-eye…
Next … a few roses, surprisingly, given the rain and relatively chill month, are in very fine fettle and very floriferous. A good florisaison, a word I came across today…
