Winter is typically a little bleak in the garden. So we decided to bring a little colour to our porch. And although it's been pretty cold lately, albeit mostly sunny during the day, these pretties are happiest like this.
I also found the macro setting on my point-and-shoot camera!!So in between laying new bluestone pavers I sat on my bottom steps and snapped away.
Tigs and Woo chose a plant each at the market last weekend. They'd be the yellow polyanthus, which is ok, and the purple pansy, which is just about tolerable but the two look awful together.
I won't lie, I struggle with it and these two stand out glaringly in my otherwise tranquil plantings. But I'm learning, as a mother, to relinquish control of the small things. Well some of the small things. Who knows I could even grow to like them!
And then there's this beauty. It, and it's friends, look this beautiful at anytime of the year.
After a very chilly start to the day it's now beautiful. The sun is blasting through the window and warming me to the core.
I hope that the sun is shining on you, wherever you may be!
