Hello, and thanks for visiting! A couple of months ago a good friend nominated me in one of those Facebook challenges you may have seen doing the rounds - 7 black and white photos over 7 days from your ordinary life, excluding people and pets, posted without explanation. I accepted the challenge, and enjoyed the process so much that I was soon wondering how I could extend it. This blog is my answer. The photos won't always be in black and white - I've long understood how important colour is to me - but I plan to adhere to the other rules of the challenge for a full 365 days and, in doing so, tell the story of the next year in my life. Knowing how I struggle with discipline, especially self-discipline, I imagine this process will throw up quite a few challenges for me but hopefully that will all be part of the growing and learning process. There will be little or no explanation posted, though I'll be happy to chat in the comments, and I hope you find something here to enjoy.
NOW! There is a title for a song....
ReplyDeleteBit late...But never mind..
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland...!
(All together now)...! :0).
Haha! Yes, well, it was quite Christmassy in parts - all red (cornus stems and skimmia berries), white (betula trunks and rubus stems), and gold (heathers, grasses and conifers). It's the Winter Garden at Harold Hillier Gardens near Romsey. Stunning range of colour, scent, texture and form - and all under a bright blue sky. I loved this border for its dramatic geometry and layers of bold colour with the Hamamelis providing the sprinkling of silver/gold stardust.
