Here is a splash of colour and the scent of summer for my Northern Hemisphere friends. I hope this will brighten your winter day and remind you of the summer to come.
For the short time I am at home I love to spend time in the garden. This morning I went round to record what is flowering at the moment.
Welcome to my creative corner! Here, I share my photos, travel stories, random thoughts, and a bit of myself.

When you are not in the garden taking photos.
There is still beauty to be found there.
You enhance the garden but not the photos.

Yes I love the tropical plants, and the photos great, but like you after all these years I still miss the gentle daffodils and bluebells.

I agree Joan that field of golden daffodils is a great memory, but I don’t think I would like the cold weather that goes with them…
