Bugs and roses

 Today Ally (my granddaughter) and I went to the Mornington Botanical Rose Gardens for a bit of photo therapy.  






We have had a lot of rain and cold weather lately and a lot of the roses are showing signs of damage.  



 



There are also plenty of bugs around.


The  roses are still beautiful though.

We are really lucky to have these gardens so close to our home.

Looking for Inspiration



I am going through one of those creative slumps at present: rthe bronchitis has almost gone which is just as well as I am booked in for an arthroscope on Friday.


 I am sure the endless coughing and of course difficulty breathing results in a different mindset.


Survival mode kicks in and there is no energy for anything else.
 I have spend some time this evening photographing some of our garden and the improvements we have made to the house over the past year or so.



The birds were starting to settle for the night and it is interesting to watch them vying for the best position.

It is quite noisy and busy and then it all goes quiet when the sun has gone.


Yesterday I bought these two little cabinets  to keep my current craft projects in.  This little space between the kitchen and lounge has been a bit bare lately and I think this is a great solution.  I could have bought one large cabinet but I like the fact that I can move these around whenever I want.  By next week I think there will be Christmas decorations on them.
