My Mum's garden again

nobody@ipernity.com (Andy Rodker) — Wed, 24 May 2023 20:52:14 +0000

Another shot from a few weeks ago (mid Spring). I thought about saving ths for HFF but I have another planned for that.
Sight and Sound. Apropo of nothing at all, but it just amused me! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKZc2EN6ZrY

Rhododendron, for Keith, in answer to his question!

It's such a striking plant that I don't feel three uploads is overkill!

Rhododendron, Mum's garden

Another stile on 'my' path to the pub!

Possibly I posted this a while back but this is a different angle and weather. Note how these stones are a mismatch of styles, Modern-ish at the top and industial tin and copper mining era (with the notches) below and the rest probably placed there long before. There are records of this path in the 13th century but it's likely to be far older than that. The stiles collapse from time to time (perhaps once every 300 years!) and you see local repairs making good as required!

Tunnel effect. Path at Springtime. HANWE everyone!

I'll leave this one for you for now; I return to Spain first thing tomorrow morning. I have some more shots of this fave path of mine and will post them on and off together with new Spanish material.
Felt like a bit of David Bowie; www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JahAw8IpNE&list=RD6JahAw8IpNE&start_radio=1
Sight and Sound

HANWE everyone!

'My' path to the pub again. Every time I pass here, it presents a different face. But Spring is at its peak now, so it's to be expected. Bluebells smothering the old retaining granite wall. A definite candidate for 'plants versus structures'?! And a composition I'm particularly pleased with.

From 'my' path again

Our equine friends once more. And with grass this lush, they should be as happy as a pig in ...
I think on large then large again for a better image, imho!
Sight and Sound. After the exciting World Snooker Championship just now, I thought this clip might amuse! www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_F214y7vyU

Azalea now at it's peak.

Another from 'my' path to the pub.

It's getting very green, as you would expect at this time of year.
St Day, Cornwall.

I think it's blackthorn, but hawthorn is a possibility.

From my (by now well-trod) path to the pub. No horses this time but there we are.
On the blackthorn / hawthorn doubt, I do know from personal experience of many years of collecting sloes that hawthorn and blackthorn very rarely, if ever, grow in close proximity to each other and I wonder why.
More Janis but a goodie, imho!

HFF everyone!

An extra mini fence as a bonus!
It's a funny little fence (I wonder what it's for)! But I liked it as well as the stone work on view, the trees and that cloud. The angles are a bit skew-wiff (how does one spell that?) but that's how it was.

Coats back on.

A cold couple of days predicted. Hope you don't mind more horsey shots. They do provide some interest and character imho! A field off Pink Moors, St Day, Cornwall.
I also think that this gently undulating countryside retains some interest no matter what the weather (fog excepted of course!). Definitely better on large and then large again!
Sight and Sound. A mellow song from War. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjL4iF2cN5M

On my usual path to the pub. Somewhat later in the day as my Dad's back in hospital (doing OK in the circumstances) and my timetable alters somewhat!
The tree branch silhouettes appealed.
This is pretty much as I saw it. I did a little editing simply to remove some of the excessive glare, but other than a little cropping, nothing really!

A bit of Van Morrison and Them never did any harm!

Azalea

Mum's garden, It's late April, so it's Azalea and Rhododendron time in Cornwall. Sadly, I won't get to visit any of the great garden displays but at least I've got this!

An impressive ruin and still a landmark for miles around as St Day sits on a slight rise.
I quite like this wall too!

HFF! (1st of 2 today)

On the footpath from St Day to Carharrack, known as School Hill as it is used by the Carharrack children who have to attend the school in St Day and have a fairly stiff upward walk to do so! Good exercise I suppose.

St Day. My Mum's garden in April.

She still keeps an amazing garden with interest all the year round. I don't think I've captured it at sunset before now.
