As the light began to fade - a walk around my garden

Yesterday was a beautiful day and I was busy in the garden again! As the light began to fade I walked around with my camera and took a few photos, I thought I would share them here with you. :-)

"Colours change: in the morning light, red shines out bright and clear and the blues merge
into their surroundings, melting into the greens; but by the evening the reds loose their
piquancy, embracing a quieter tone and shifting toward the blues in the rainbow.
Yellow flowers remain bright, and white ones become luminous, shining
like ghostly figures against a darkening green background."
- Rosemary Verey, The Scented Garden

Tulips and Pansies are blooming in my front garden.

I really love how these Tulips are edged with Orange!
it looks like someone has highlighted the edges with a paintbrush.

Come through the open gate that leads into my back garden. . .

Where the Forsythia is still blooming,
it looks startlingly Yellow as the light begins to fade.

"One eye sees, the other feels."
- Paul Klee

More Yellow here brightening up a dull corner

on a shelf in the kitchen, young Courgette (Zucchini) plants . . .

soon they will join the Curly Kale in the vegetable patch. . .

"I am a part of all that I have seen."
- Alfred Lord Tennyson

On the bench are Busy Lizzies waiting to be planted. . .

SOON SOON

an empty pot waiting to be filled
next to a lovely lemon scented conifer

The Busy Lizzies now planted up in pots by the back door
SOON THEY WILL GROW
the light is beginning to fade now, time to go indoors. . .

Until tomorrow. . .

"Connection with gardens, even small ones, even potted plants,
can become windows to the inner life. The simple act of
stopping and looking at the beauty around us can be prayer."
- Patricia R. Barrett, The Sacred Garden, 2001

Come and see some close up photos I took of Tulips in my garden - here.
