Frosty Rose…
At last I can post a photo…the internet has been on and off all
day and evening….
Constant rain at the moment and looks like it’s set in for at least ten days….
So no more frosty photos just now…
Hopefully will be able to catch up with answering your comments tomorrow….
Frosty rose…
So beautiful with it’s coating of frost…
Always good to leave pruning till Spring…
The weather forecast says snow is on the way…
Will be happy to get more shots with vintage lenses…
Thank you all for your kind words and votes…
Frosty remnants of roses….
Took advantage of the hard frost we had last week on my roses with my Pentacon Auto 50mm 1.8 vintage lens…
Haven’t done much photography lately as since September we have had mostly grey rainy days…waiting for more snow…

From my garden....
A sunny morning so dug up all my dahlia tubers and put them away in the garage for winter...
Just have the cosmos to dig up in the front garden and then do the same in the back garden...
Ordered some tulips and small spring bulbs so will have some new blooms to look forward to...
Hope everyone is doing well with the restrictions they have in each country....we must do our best to stay safe and healthy...
Thank you all for your visits and kind words....😁

Poppies...

Some pretty poppies to brighten the gloomy Autumn days...
Hopefully the weather is sunny and bright where you are...
October has gone by so quickly and sunset is now at 3.40pm...
So up until the 20th December we will have short daylight hours...
Then slowly ...very slowly it begins to get lighter a few minutes every day...
Thank you all so much for your visits and kind words...
Enjoy your weekend and stay safe and healthy...🥰

How this week has flown...trying to get a few decent moon shots...decided I would buy a vintage 500mm lens as feel the 300mm not long enough...After I had bought this lens I remembered we have a really good telescope somewhere...and you just need adapters to attach your camera to it...sooo...think that will be my project over winter...not just for moon shots either...just love trying something new...
Hope you all have a great weekend and I thank you all for your visits and kind words...
Stay safe and healthy....😍

A few blooms left in my Autumn garden...Dahlia,roses,cosmos,rudbeckia and phlox....the begonias are just about finished in the tubs and hanging baskets as the nights are getting cold and damp...

Flowering Shrub.....
Sunny afternoon yesterday so took a few quick shots of my flowering shrub..
Loved this photo and the bokeh is particularly pleasing to my eyes...
Will do similar shots with my Meyer Optik Gorlitz Oreston as someone has asked me to do a comparison..
So lovely in the sun but not in the shadows...getting on with gardening jobs and I plant the bogonia tubers in pots and hanging baskets today and sow more seeds...if time permits and I don’t get sidetracked...lol...
Much the same here in Sweden...Waiting to see how the ease on lockdown works in other countries...
Hope you all enjoy your day and the sun is shining for you...
Thank you all for your visits and kind words...
Stay safe and be healthy....🥰

My first tulip to bloom...
Happy to see all my tulips in bud and hopefully in a few days they will open...
Been busy in the garden planting summer bulbs and dahlia tubers...will see if the dahlia
tubers survived the winter in the garage...the begonia look good but it’s still a bit cold to plant those yet...
Next is to sow the seeds my usual way of throwing them around the garden...I try fill every empty space with poppies and sow them at two week intervals so they bloom until October...In between doing this I have been taking the weeds out of the crazy paving in the front courtyard garden...now that’s a job that takes time...
It’s good for the soul and I will reap my rewards later when it’s full of flowers...
Hope all is going well for you all...much the same here...
Thank you so much for your visits and kind words...
Stay safe and healthy..l
Harebells...
Found this in a last years file...had totally forgotten my wildflower hunt
late summer 2019...
Trying to clean my files and delete what I don’t like but keep getting sidetracked...
Keeps my mind occupied and the hours fly by...
Hope you all managing to find beauty around home and garden...
There is no lockdown here in Sweden but I am self isolating ...wish they would wake up
and take positive action...ah well not going to get into my frustrations with the powers that be...
The sun is out and after 5 freezing days it’s nice to get in the garden with my camera...if only to take crocus shots...
Take care all of you...we have to get through this nightmare as best we can...
So take care and stay healthy...
Thank you all for your kind words and comments....
Peony Poppy...
This poppy is huge...30 inches tall and 9 inches across...
