This snippet from a walk gives me a house on a hill top, for Becky’s #SquareTops, and some subtle vertical lines for Jude, my main focus today.
Come and sit on our sunny patio! It’s hard to get verticals vertical sometimes. Which line to line up with? As you can see, it’s been raining.
And, in fact, we had the biggest storm ever last night. Talk about theatricals! It’s raining still, so plenty of time to join in with #2020PhotoChallenge. I don’t mind sunny rain. Join me?


Your patio looks very inviting and so is the countryside with those beautiful flowers 😍

I presume the land owner used rocks from the land to create his lower boundary, or do you mean the little cairns, Bridget? Not me! 🙂 🙂

An interesting set of verticals – and turning the camera is very creative, but then you are very inventive! Are you the rock builder then? The house on the top of the hill looks like my kind of house – what are the trees? They are not grape vines and look too green for olives. Another very dry day here today. We seem to swing from one extreme to another at the moment. Off to queue at the supermarket in a moment. Oh, joy!

I do try to be inventive, Jude, even if it’s just tall stories. I love the little cairns but daren’t touch because they’d be sure to fall over. 🤣 We think plums but need to go back for another look. Blowing a hooligan now but sunny. Hanging on to my plants! Loved your burst of yellow this morning. Not had time to comment yet. We combined shop with a walk after the rain stopped 🤗🌦️🌈💕
