Early this morning I watched the recording of last night’s rugby World Cup match between France and Namibia.
Later I took advantage of a sunny morning to take a brief walk round the garden before the rain set in for a few hours, and another when the sunlight returned this afternoon.
The air, when dry, was warm and fresh, and attracted bustling bees, as well as my camera lens.
Liquid light played across my garden views
and enhanced individual blooms. As usual the selections in each gallery bear their own titles.
Later I watched the live broadcast of the rugby match between Argentina and Samoa while tucking into the plate of cold meats and salad Jackie had left for me while this branch of the family joined Becky and Ian for the latter’s Birthday celebration at Milford on Sea’s Britannia Thai restaurant. My intention to lead the party had been proved a little optimistic after yesterday’s outing demonstrated that I was not yet fit for another.
Too bad you had to miss the party! Disappointing for everyone.
Thanks very much, Laurie
“Liquid light” … I love this description! Sorry you felt the need to remain at home, but it sounds like the sensible option.
Thanks very much, Anne
Your fall garden blooms are really lovely.
Thank you very much, Dwight
The header photo is so vivid, I could smell the rose fragrance!
Thanks very much, Liz
I’m sorry you had to miss the party, but such stunning photos. I could almost smell the scent of those flowers.
I hope you feel better soon, Derrick. I love your beautiful photos, the bee on the blue flower is beautiful! ????????????
Getting there, John. Thanks very much
Good news! ????????
That ruffly orange rose is beautiful! I’m glad you took a little extra time for recuperation. There will be other gatherings — and at least you weren’t stuck at home in nasty weather.
We enjoyed a good evening later at home, Linda. Thank you very much.
Sorry you missed the gathering, but you did get some nice garden shots and a lovely lunch.
Thank you very much, Pat
Stunning set of photos.
Thank you very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
I just love the Japanese anemones, and have not seen the pink ones before.
Thanks very much, Crystal
I am sorry that you are still below par. At least you have your wonderful flowers to bring you cheer.
Thank you very much, Tootlepedal
Oh no, here I was semi shouting good wellness and you’ve not quite right yet.
Thanks very much, Catherine. I’m getting there
A fabulous collection of flower photos from the garden Derrick
Thank you very much, Ivor
Gorgeous photos, Derrick. Take care of yourself!
Thanks very much, Jill
Sorry you still have to mind your cold, Derrick. Summer colds are the worst!
Thanks very much, Doug
Sometimes we have to pace ourselves and take care of ourselves. Thursday, I did my volunteer work, but could not do the second event I had planned to go to. The garden photos are lovely. I especially like the brick path with the arch and the violet Clematis.
Thank you very much, JoAnna. So true
Gorgeous photos! I hope you’ll get well soon!
Thank you very much, Ribana. I am getting there
I’m sorry you missed the evening celebrations and even sorrier that you are still under the weather.
Your rose images are beautiful, but the shot of Lady Emma Hamilton sporting a freshly showered look is my favourite.
Thanks very much, Sue. We had a good evening after they got back. I just wasn’t up to going out for a meal and all that involves
You have so many beautiful blooms still left to grace your garden!
Thanks very much, John
So sorry you are still not up to going out to eat…but, glad you rested and I know you will be well soon. Keep being patient with yourself.
Gorgeous flower photos! You are magnificent at taking light and shadow photos.
Ooh! Looks like the bees did enough busy work for all of us. 🙂
Happy Birthday to Ian!
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks very much, Carolyn X
These are beautiful photos.
Thank you very much, Chrissy
Delightful flower pics, Derrick! Cheers.
Thanks very much, Joy
I’m lovin’ that coral color!
Thanks very much, GP
Nice rosy post. We expect a deluge this weekend.
Delightful Derrick.
Thanks a lot, Andrew
I love the little white flowers above the pale pink rose. So delicate. They look like a cross between a strawberry bloom and a poppy. Can you reveal what they are?
They are Erigeron – a tall stemmed daisy which grows well in stony ground. Thanks a lot, Judy
So lovely. More detailed than most daisies.
Gorgeous pictures are hopefully a nice consolation gift for missing the party.
Thank you very much, Pat
Happy 1st day of autumn, Derrick. I’m glad you got out in your garden. Those flower photos are magnificent as usual!
Thank you so much, Jan
Roses still looking fabulous. Hope you feel better soon
Thanks very much, Sheree
Feel better soon, Derrick! Thank you for sharing all those lovely flowers, still going strong in autumn. They brought a smile of delight this morning.
Thank you co much, Lavinia
