Awesome Autumn

Hi, everybody, I hope you are all doing well. I know I've been missing in action from here for quite some time, life just gets so busy especially during the two-week school holidays. I'm thrilled to be back. During the term break we went away for a few days, we went to see these beauties. I must say it was very invigorating. Gorgeous coastal gorges and rocks that resemble chocolate and vanilla swirl cake (or marble cake). We're truly blessed here with these lovely clean natural beauties. The shadow of my legs on the rocks. Apart from gorges and rocks we also visited these lovelies, the ones which talked would also bite if you put your fingers through the cage, even though they showed themselves oh-so-friendly. Just like roses with thorns? Haha! The colours of their feathers are just so amazing, God's creativity is awesome. Talking about roses with thorns, this is a good time for them in my garden. I get so many flowers in sizes that are generally larger than what they would be any other seasons. And while you're here, I thought I'd show you some of the photos. Let me introduce them to you one by one out of that heap. Here are Jude the Obscure. These are Abraham Darby. They are both English Roses (David Austin Roses with very strong perfumes) These are Perfumed Perfection. China Doll. These two are both Floribundas. These are St. Cecilia. Jubilee Celebration, and The Dark Lady. All three are English Roses as well. Now these pink and cream beauties are Pierre de Ronsard, which is also known as Eden Rose. It's a climbing rose. And last but not least these are shy Anne Boelyn, not totally open. Now put them all together, ta da! Can you tell I like fiddling with roses just a bit? Not only that, I also like fiddling with their pictures. I like them in that "washed out" appearance so much that I left some of them in that mode just for fun. I hope you'll enjoy them just as much as I did playing with them. Have a great weekend, folks. Till next time.

Garden Bliss and Happy Easter

I realise I haven't taken pictures in my garden for quite some time, for one thing, I'm not too keen when the glare of the summer's sunshine is strong; and it seems like I always get busy at dusk when the lighting is better. There have been more overcast days, so here are some random garden pictures.
If you remember, I talked about waiting for my dining table to come in a previous post, here. it's still not here yet. This table here is the one which they made too small, the lady at the shop is letting me use it until the RIGHT one gets here, which might be the end of April. You can see it is too small for eight chairs and the feet should have balls on them like the chairs. The curves on the tabletop and the carved motifs (which I ordered) are gorgeous though. Ooh! Maybe I'll need a table runner so it doesn't look so bare on the tabletop and yet doesn't completely cover its good looks.These pink roses are St. Cecilia and Radio Times. They are so gorgeous I took ten million pictures of them! The right pinks, the right scents and the right forms, ahhhhh!!!

And last but not least, I want to say Happy Easter and wish everyone of you a very beautiful, safe and meaningful Easter season. These speckled eggs are my favourite, I buy them every year and they are sugar-coated chocolate eggs, honestly they are so cute that I can't get myself to eat them. Take care everyone, till next time.
