Three small Spanish bowls in the porch near the rusty objects - a reminder of hot summer days and eating outside.
... and a photo (sooc) of a wonderful tree seen in Wallington Hall's walled garden which a gardener told me was an acer ..... (I couldn't catch the Latin name) but which is a member of the maple family. The colours were amazing - oranges and browns. It cheered up a dull afternoonThinking of Australian friends having to deal with another disaster. Praying that there will be no loss of life.
All seems a bit strange with the fires as it is only about a month ago since we were driving past those places
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bowls, very Mediterranean, bring on the Spring / Summer. Very windy here today, good for washing on the line but cold!!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in the tree.
My sister is in Australia and so is Phil's Aunt and family. She lives very near to where the flooding was the other week. Haven't heard from my sister for a few weeks,at Christmas she moved from Perth to NSW.
As you say pray for their safety. Jackie.
Lovely bark, I itch to peel the paper thin bark & stick it down somewhere!
ReplyDeleteAwful the extreems that are having to be dealt with in Australia.
Beautiful browns - so cheering in this grey time of year.
ReplyDeleteAustralia certainly seems to be going through it at the moment. Fire, wind and water, what next? - I am sure it's not in an earthquake zone!
As you say, hoping there is no loss of life.
I remember you buying those bowls on holiday in Spain! xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! thankyou for your concern about the bushfires, so far no-one has been seriously hurt which is a blessing.
ReplyDeleteI share your prayer and hopefully your pictures will bring us all to happier and more peaceful times.

maravillosos tonos cálidos y bonitos cuencos para gazpacho, pero... cuando has venido a España Julia???
ReplyDeleteLos cuencos están demasiados pequenos para gazpacho pero están muy bonitos. Julia es mi hermana y ha venido a Espana (Andalucía)conmigo, mi marido y mi cunado en enero 2006.
ReplyDeleteLike Emma Id have wanted to take some bark home, but to try steaming it with fabric wrapped round it, to see how it coloured the fabric! fabulous colours indeed.......
ReplyDeleteThe words weather and bizarre seem to go together hand in hand these days.......such sadness for people. Life can be so cruel.
The rusty items are wonderful ... fab textures and colours and I love the acer bark, a wonderful capture. I'm having a giveaway on my blog giving away one of my hearts for valentine's day and would love you to enter. Best wishes, Carolyn x
ReplyDeleteOh Julia, I am enjoying your rusty theme. Lovely bowls. xox Corrine

ReplyDeletewhat intriguing colors in the tree ... and amen to your prayers.
ReplyDeleteBrown is such a gorgeous color!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes... those dear people in Australia...such a trying time.
Blessings to you,

Nice lighting in the top one, and also nice contrast with the green & white. I like your dof, and the textures in the maple shot !
