Kew – Roses and the Palm House

/ Leya / 7 kommentarer

No visit to a Real Garden…goes without roses or a Palm House. This is Kew Gardens.

 

A dotted rose!

The Palm House is always a treat. Today I found a new glorious favourite inside…a Japanese Lantern.

 

Lastly another favourite…a delicate noname plant sweeping its feathers around us.

 

Welcome to Little Venice!

When in London, I try to visit a new part every time – and this time I walked along Regent’s Canal to Little Venice. They say Lord Byron coined the name, true or not, anyway it is a charming area with its moored boats and little ”gardens”.

How about joining me for a little walk?

 

Along Regent’s Canal
Under the bridges
Grand Houses along the canal
Some boats were more homes to flowers than to people…
Inviting you to sit down and read a good book!

Coot in Green
Two for you

There is Still Time…

There is still time…to live and love the last days of summer. There is still time…to remember the softest moments of nature’s glory – the morning walks and the evening light. Little things…little creatures. Let us rejoice.

 

 

All those little moths…flying in the dark
The lesser butterfly-orchid – its scent fills the forest
Everything is magical under the canopy
The lovely buttercups have many lovers…

 

A Sunny Day…One of Few

To remind me of one of the few sunny days this summer. Cold, windy and showers every day – this Swedish summer of 2017 will not be one remembered for its glorious weather. This week is also the last holiday week for many Swedes – always a bit terrifying…but nowadays it doesn’t matter that much how the summer was. I am lucky to be free!
