hibiscus

Six word Saturday

The ephemeral nature of my garden

  • In full bloom
  • Or fruiting, like my fig
  • Layers of loveliness
  • And colour contrasts
  • Grasses waving at spent blooms
  • Star bright and beautiful
  • With contrary friends
  • Flamboyance declared
  • With a background of shell flowers
  • Shells to play with and rearrange
  • Blossoming bamboo
  • And delicate fans
  • To make whimsical fish?
  • Taking a longer view
  • Or closer
  • At the star of this month’s show

It’s not a garden, but a simple patio to play and entertain in, and it gives me lots of joy. Many thanks to Amy for prompting me to share it, and to long suffering Debbie for letting Six Words flourish. And a happy weekend to you all!

Flower of the Day

It’s been raining, but the hibiscus don’t mind. I hope Cee won’t either, when I stop by to wish her Happy Thanksgiving! And to all my American friends, I wish you a peaceful, thankful day.

Just a week, in Tavira.  What will I find this trip?

Maybe a little local festival

Maybe, a little local festival?

Certainly a few walks, clifftop or otherwise (can you see the pirate ship?)

Absolutely some apple blossom

Familiar steps

Some winter flowers in the castle gardens

The drama of those cliffs

When I return it’s just days to my daughter’s wedding and I can feel the excitement rising now.  I hope to find a minute or two to post a few pics, but otherwise you know there’ll be a wedding bonanza coming up.
