1 I love the way hydrangea flowers fade so prettily.
Hydrangea flowers from last season
2 The Redruth Drapery Stores was the place to be in the past! People from all around came to get their suits, their best outfits and their hats. The beautiful frontage is still here but the store no longer.

3 Walking past the coal store this afternoon on my way back from buying tickets to see ‘The Old Tyre Swingers’, this brand- new JCB caught my eye. The contrast of its pristine newness contrasted so much with the grime of where it was working.
Beautifully clean and new JCB working in the coal yard

You are surrounded by such interesting things!
Of course, we probably all are, it’s just not always that we notice them. I love the shot of the hydrangeas!

That JCB looks like it just came out of it’s box! You must carry your camera with you at all times?

I do! I recently bought one that would fit in my pocket so I really do have it with me wherever I am!
Loved the JCB – so fresh and new. I wonder what it will look like in a week or two? 🙂

The hydrangeas so struck me! Something about the beauty of their imperfection….

I agree – the delicacy of the pink colour and the tiny holes and the rustiness – all combine to be quite beautiful. Glad you like them too 🙂

There is such a contrast between modern and traditional style of architecture!
