Local Park Throughout the Year


I was walking through the park to the shops the other day and as I saw that the leaves were beginning to fall I thought of the many pictures I had taken throughout the year on my phone showing the different seasons.
So here are some of them.


Above a very frosty one


Spring is in the Air










The good old all season Dogwood












then Summer takes a hold




The wild flower meadow


I liked the different coloured grasses here



and we are back to Autumn





It always fascinates me - the different sunsets at different times of year as the light changes





This one was taken this week
I feel so blessed being able to walk to the shops through this park and it is almost at the top of my road

The Garden is coming to Life

Still struggling with photo issues on new computer. I think there is some conflict with new software and blogger. These photos are all in the wrong order even though I had them in the right order. Frustrating and time consuming.


Still lots of heavy rain but the garden is coming to life.









We can see here one of the newly grassed over areas, having removed a number of shrubs over the winter









Making use of an old bathroom mirror. My large garden mirror became so warped it was useless.


Still working on making borders smaller and increasing the lawn which will hopefully be finished soon


Some of the roses at the front opened up over night after one warm sunny day 




I wasn't sure how much I would like the garden with so many shrubs removed but I am actually liking the change to a more open space
