The silence of songbirds; the frenzied tinkling of wind chimes; the bending of buffeted branches; the resistant corolla petals clinging to blooms, while loosened ones danced along the ground; manifested the warmer wind’s SSW shift this morning as I climbed the stairs with my camera to look down on the garden.
These are the views I enjoyed. Contained in these images are
the yellow Bottle Brush plant; the red Chilean Lantern tree; a red climbing rose; a peach climbing rose; the yellow Arthur Bell climber; the white Madame Alfred Carriére rose; the pink Compassion rose; The Generous Gardener rose; and the Eucalyptus blooms. Can you pick them out in the larger views?
This afternoon I deleted from my iPhotos every image featuring in
but could only part with two of those in
Before dinner I watched the highlights of the third day of the Men’s Cricket Test match between England and Zimbabwe.
Said dinner consisted of piri-piri lemon chicken, savoury rice, and broccoli with which Jackie drank more of the Zinfandel and I finished the Pinotage.
Sounds like an altogether delightful day.
Thank you very much, Pat
Beautiful garden Derrick.
Thank you very much, Cindy
Such a gorgeous garden!
Thank you so much, Julie
Welcome!
I love your description of what a garden brings Derrick and you have a lovely one.
The garden looks fantastic, guys!!
I like the views from on high. Have you thought of acquiring a drone?
That’s a great idea!
I don’t think I could manage one. Maybe I could lean from whoever has one in our neighbourhood. Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
So many beauties! So uplifting!
Thank you very much, Rosaliene
The arbor with the bench underneath looks wonderful!
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Your beautiful opening verse was very poetic today, Derrick …
Much appreciated from you, Ivor.
I adore Arthur Bell and the view of the bench and arbor from above.
Thank you very much, JoAnna
Simply wonderful, as always!

Thank you very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Gorgeous!
Your photos…AND your poetic, igniting-the-senses writing! 
As for your title/question…I could! ‘Twas fun to pick them out in the larger views! Of course, those flowers that are showy, bright, and bold colors were easier to find!
