Birds and Flowers in the Garden

08 Feb

The beautiful Longtail Tits are back! They are my all time favourite bird but they don’t often stay still long enough for a photo. They have joined all the others we have feeding in our garden, the “charm’ of Goldfinches, the Blue Tits , Coal Tits and Great Tits, the Pigeons and Black Caps, the Robins and Bullfinches, the Blackbirds and Magpies but today’s other rare treat was the Woodpecker who did stay long enough for a photo.

From August 2013

We’ve been tidying up in the garden today. It’s good to see Spring flowers appearing.

More Blue Skies

07 Feb

Another beautiful crisp winter day with gorgeous blue skies. After a delicious breakfast with good friends, full of chat and cheer, we drove home and I managed to get a shot of Truro Cathedral through the winter branches.

Cornish Flag, River and Viaduct

06 Feb

An amusing take on the Cornish flag on the back of a car we followed today.

Wind ruffled water in the Penryn River this morning – big contrast with the glassy surface last week.

Blue skies above and under the viaduct arch in Redruth

Earrings and The Night Skies

05 Feb

I’ve been given some earrings and they are lovely.

Thank you A x

I saw this chart about the interesting night skies in February and thought those of you in the same hemisphere might like it too.

Balls of Light and A New Book

04 Feb

I saw this quotation from Ezra Pound in the bookshop today.

Here is the ball of light we saw setting on our journey home.

And, I have a new book, ‘a ball of light’ in my hand. I read the first ten pages or so while I was waiting for another book to be chosen, giving it the ‘ten page test’ I used to suggest to children in my classes. Books and cats on the cover drew me to pick it up.

Reflections, Stitching and A Jigsaw

03 Feb

Catching up after my break – here is the very still water of the Penryn River last Thursday with beautiful reflections.

We loved the work – and the philosophy expressed –  in this jacket, seen in one of the lovely independent shops in our town, Make A Mends.

We’ve had fun doing the undersea jigsaw we borrowed from friends, now completed,  and we have started another featuring books and cats!
