A beautiful ocean/beach picture of Rossili in south Wales, courtesy of Stuart Aken. I hope you stop to visit his blog as he has many more gorgeous photos.
This post is inspired by Cathy at Words and Herbs to help chase away the winter blahs.
I love hydrangeas, including the panicle hydrangeas that bloom toward the end of summer.
Hydrangea colours are always interesting, but over the life of the blooms this variegated variety will eventually become more uniform.
I like how each frond is made up of tiny blooms.
Summer will return, but in the meantime we have great pictures!
Thanks for the terrific idea, Cathy.
Much is made of the peacock tail, but their backs are brilliant, too.
More gorgeous blue and green.
Orchid fronds.
Green and blue anyone?
Have a good Sunday.
Heyjude at Cornwall in Colours posted about the “week of flowers” idea from Cathy at Words and Herbs to help keep the winter blahs at bay.
Here are some of summer’s finest from Penticton’s rose garden.
If you would like to join, just link to Words and Herbs with your garden photo. Cheers.
I saw this lovely flutterer while out walking.
I tried to find out what type of butterfly this is – it bears some resemblance to a white monarch – but I’m not sure and to me there seem to be differences.
Regardless of its type, it sure is beautiful. I followed it around for a bit, trying to get photos as it went about its nectar-collecting day; it was so lovely to see.
Happy Saturday.
This photo is perhaps a bit of a cliché, but I still find it beautifully relaxing.
Happy Friday.

A gorgeous picture from Allan J Jones. His blog has many beautiful photos, so I hope you stop by for a look.
Night quickly descends as we are walking …
… light loosens, birds slowly twitter, frogs happily and loudly announce themselves …
… for many, life softens and gentles; for others, it brightens and quickens.
Happy Thursday.
We did a walk today to see if a familiar palm tree along the beach is still there.
It is! It has suffered a bit and another palm that used to be next to it is gone, but this tree has weathered storms and high seas and remains steadfast.
Here it is in late 2019 – this is our first time back since the start of covid in March, 2020 – but we do recognise it and its location. The shoreline has changed and the other palm has disappeared, but “our” palm tree is still there. Sometimes, it’s nice to know that the familiar, however altered, carries forward.
Happy Wednesday.
Here I am at the North Cape, at the edge of Finnmark, and I dare say the very edge of the world since there are no other places further north …
