From June to December




It's amazing browsing through photographs taken in June to see the way the garden changes as the year moves on. Vivid colours & blousy form are replaced by skeletal silhouettes. This morning the plants are rigid with frost - creating real interest. It is one of the only times that individual blades of grass take on a persona of their own & stand out from the crowd. Ivy, cladding the trees, has been traced with a silver highlighter, white berries punctuating the bark. The trees emerge hauntingly through the freezing fog. Properly dressed, it has been a day to venture out & explore nature's magical kingdom.
