I visited Sweetman’s Garden yesterday, having not done so for about three or four weeks. It is still the very special place that it has always been and the old apple tree has been festooned with ribbons.
They dance when the wind blows and wait in their colours until the breezes return.
The effect is magical.

Nature and protection.
This beetle showed up on our clothesline on a very windy day and held on to a towel for a while. It was big black and harmless, even though the fearsome looking armour it wore appeared to make it ready for battle or a part in a Super Hero movie.

Yesterday we had a pleasant visit to a friend’s garden. Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to photograph some flowers and foliage.
Thanks Frankie and Bob for making this beautiful place.

Dan knows when to apply it.

Dan is a timber framer. A friend who owns a barn required some major repair and hired Dan to make the beams and install them. Dan is very very good at what he does and it was a pleasure to watch him work over three days to complete the job.
Meticulous and accurate in his approach it was impressive to watch him work.
