This morning I cut the grass and produced a few photographs.
Individual titles appear on the galleries.
This afternoon I almost finished reading Point Counter Point by Aldous Huxley which I will feature tomorrow.
Tonight’s dinner consisted of sag bhaji and mild prawn curry starter from Forest Tandoori followed by the main event in the form of Jackie’s spicy lamb jalfrezi and aromatic pilau rice, with which she drank Hoegaarden and I finished the Shiraz.
Again I have to say that I’m amazed by your garden. Great captures of flowers.
Thanks very much, Rabirius
Zijn blog is ook zo mooi ingedeeld: Vakwerk op elk gebied …
Morgen ga ik naar mijn huisarts. ik wil niet worden door gestuurd naar een mond-keel-neus-arts, om bloedvaten dicht te schroeien … Een bloedneus komt vaker bij mij voor, mijn broer is er aan gestorven. Difterie, er was wel een medicijn … , eu-eu-euh … Nee, niet voor hem … Dat hadden de geallieerden hard nodig aan het front … Hoe heet dat medicijn? Het was de aller grootste doorbraak op medisch gebied, al voor de Eerste Wereldoorlog …

Wonderful close up shots, Derrick.
Thanks very much, Rupali.
Everything looks beautiful, especially the roses. We didn’t get many this year due to deer. The devils have eaten them back. I did finally get fencing up around the blueberry bushes, so they are protected from deer now.
Well done at least for protecting the blueberries. Tha inks very much. Lavinia.
Wow, that is a wonderful shot of Bee leaving the salvia.
Thanks very much, Maj. There were a few misses, too 🙂
Beautiful! Yet again, I am struck by how well you eat.
Thanks a lot, Laurie. Jackie has been cooking that curry for two days.
The garden is still ablaze with colour
Thanks very much, Sheree.
So many excellent photographs here, Derrick. I like the honeybee on the rose, and the hovering bumblebee. Do you make that distinction? Honeybee v. Bumblebee. I have since a child, but I’m not sure how scientific it is, haha.
I think you are eight, Crystal. Thanks very much.
Ha!!
Right, of course 🙂
Joyful beauty 🙂
Thank you very much, Rosaliene
Beautiful photos, and an amazing meal.
Thanks a lot. Leslie
If your garden was in our backyard, I’d have millions of hummingbirds! Beautiful shots, Derrick.
So lovely to see everything blooming still 💛 Great photos Derrick!
Thanks very much, Val
Going strong indeed! And that meal sounds delicious. Hope you and Lady J and the family are all well.
We are, thanks very much, Cynthia. I trust you are, too.
Those flowers are amazing despite the hailstorm. My remaining pot flowers were still looking wonderful until Thursday when the worst freak storm ever took them all out. Such a crying shame.
So sorry about your storm, Sue. Once again, we were lucky. Thanks very much.
Thank you, Derrick
Your blooms so appreciate the care and attention they’ve received over the summer. They hate to say good-bye.
🙂 Thanks very much, Liz.
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Very good flying bee shot.
Thanks a lot, Tootlepedal
Just so love your garden
I’m pleased, Gary. Thanks very much.
They are definitely going strong. Lovely!
Thanks very much, Merril
Glorious!!!!
Thank you so much, Luanne.
Thank you Derrick, I do love the Fuchsias, especially the magnificent ‘Shrimp Cocktail Fuchsia’
Thanks very much, Ivor
the garden is bursting with colors and the bees keep coming! so beautiful, Derrick! and what a sumptuous meal! 🙂
Thanks very much, Lola
The bees are still at work. I like the play of light and shadows in the black and white of Florence sculpture. And, of course, the lovely roses, even thought the pink one has bent its head.
Thanks very much, Dolly. Aloha, greeting.
You are very welcome, Derrick. Aloha right back to you, but I am in Florida, rather than Hawaii. Here we say ¡Hola!
🙂
As always, lovely, lovely blooms!
Thank you very much, Arlene
Fuchsia to fuchsia, you have mapped the garden in flowers in their various states of bloom, and their winged lovers. You food preferences are quite Indi-terian!
Inditerian rules, Uma. Thanks very much.
Fun and pretty photos! The fuchsia shrimp cocktail looks like three dancing fairies with the outside fairies helping the smaller one between them.
Nice thought, JoAnna. Thanks very much
And those bees are still so busy, busy. busy
They are indeed, John. Thanks very much
Great pictures of the bees. Good to see them still working hard.
So good to see Florence, Dr. Ruppel, Lady Aster, and Penny Lane!!! 🙂 And that last photo of the fuchsias looks like 3 dancing ballerinas!
Glad to see the flowers, plants, and bees ARE still going strong! A beautiful reminder to us that we must keep going strong, too! 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂
Thank you very much, Carolyn X
Indeed the garden is still going strong. What lovely pictures of it!
Thank you very much, Geetha.
Most welcome Derrick 🙂
A kaleidoscope of colours all throughout your garden Derrick, a visual delight at every turn, my compliments to you both and thank you for sharing your passion.
Thank you so much, Ian, Cheers
All so beautiful! I love Florence! I think I’ve mentioned that before. What is the Phantom Path?
Thanks very much, Cheryl. The path is named for a Phantom hydrangea planted in one of its borders.
What beauty you captured.
Thank you very much, Mrs W.
Your welcome.
Your garden is a veritable riot of colour. So beautiful. The lady guarding your Phantom Path is most attractive . 😍
Thanks very much, Sylvia.
Cutting the grass is quite therapeutic, I find. To be able to lean back and take in the tidy scene makes one smile 😊

Still strong and colourful! No bee can resist it 🌸😉
🙂 Thanks very much, Ribana
The photos of the bees at work are lovely.
Thank you very much, LL/PS
Thank you for these beautiful photographs that brightened my morning. Like so many of your followers, I am enamored with the Fuchsia Shrimp Cocktail. We used to have those in our yard when we lived near San Francisco. They do well in the weather near water … more moist than our dry Montana air. I miss all that color, so you gave me a shot in the arm! Thanks!! <3
Thanks very much, Jan. I’m pleased X
Glorious flowers. I can almost smell their gentle aromas.
Thank you very much, Pat
