I love these crazy seed pods, and the beautiful star-shaped flowers on this plant.
It makes me think of Cousin It from Addams Family.

I see you.
When you’re overwhelmed by your surroundings and feeling small. I see you there, dainty and colourful. You need no introduction, no fanfare. You stand out from the crowd by being your beautiful self.
Ready… Set… Bloom!
There’s something so beautiful about hydrangeas. They always remind me of a kaleidoscope of butterflies, poised to take flight.
The Nomad
In the torrential rain I found this weary traveller in a puddle. With all his worldly goods on his back he could go no where quickly and I feared he would drown.
I scooped him up, after asking politely of course, and transferred him to the loving embrace and shelter of Buddha.
Imagine my surprise when an hour later his wise old face appeared at my door.
Whether he came to offer thanks, was simply passing by, or is now my guardian until the life debt is repaid… We shall have to wait and see.

UPDATE!
I have now been visited also by a three legged cat (excuse the photo quality)
Guys! I think this is the start of a quest!
We greet the rain with joy
Up on the glorious Isle of Skye this week with very limited access, which is heavenly except that there is so much beauty to share. So, have a mini treat from the garden…
Jewels from heaven
Camouflage
These aren’t very good shots, so forgive me. This little guy was fast, but I needed to share my appreciation of his fine camouflage skills.
All bluster, no muster
This crafty hoverfly is pretending to be dangerous. He’s really a very sweet boy.. unless you’re an aphid.
Is that a butt I see?
Sure is, and it belongs to this guy…
Classical elegance
Never to be out shone, the white swan breaks up the monochrome by framing herself in vibrant greens.
