Today's photos 16th May.....






From the top....had a wee smile when I noticed the cottage through the trees this morning. Could this be the Gingerbread House????.....no sign of any witches, but me and Buddy hurried past....smile!
Always get a little nostalgic at this bridge. As I've probably mentioned before the country path was originally a railway line. On the otherside of this bridge to the left was the path that led down from the road to the platform. The station was on the right handside which meant if you were going to Kilmarnock you had to cross the line by foot. Under the bridge were wooden sleepers for you to walk on I never ever got over being anxious in all the times I crossed. Uncle Andy the station master kept it beautiful with masses of shrubs and flowers. It was a sad day when it was knocked down....progress can be a bitch :(
Not sure what the next one is just liked it's sculptural appearance....
The last two are from Helen's garden (my neighbour) a unfurled hostas and a not sure what it is....smile!

Fast forward from February.....






Was such a lovely morning I fast forwarded from February...just for today. This has definately been the strangest weather I can ever remember for this time of year. Top photo is off the new hooligan in the family. This part of the fence is not very wide but it has the biggest space between spars. I knew we were in for trouble when he made a bee line for it, first time out in the garden. Putting pots in front helped for a couple of days while the brain whirled and he worked out how to get on them. He can't quite squeeze his way through but he never stops trying....I think some chicken wire might be the safest bet :D

Frost, snow and a blink of green....







These photos take us into February of this year, we are now into May and sadly it hasn't got much warmer :( Of these photos my favourite would have to be the last one. A frost ladened withered willowherb full of texture and unique beauty....
