Hello there, I'm so glad you could take a few moments to join me for a peek into my garden in the mist. The place was all damp and dewy and cloudy and misty and not a breath of wind. The birds were flitting around with excitement ......come on, let's tiptoe over the rain drenched lawn and see what we can see....

| Agapanthus bud enjoying a drink! |
 |

 |
| Do you spot a little visitor? |
 |
| Yep, that's him, Mr Superb Fairy Wren! |
 |
| And enjoying the scenery |

| Just checking the time of day |

| Agapanthus again:) |
 |
| Oh you darling thing! |
 |
| Woops!!! |
You never know what you are going to find in the garden do you?
What have you found recently??
Your garden is truly beautiful. I envy you having a view of mountain from your house. What a beautiful bird! We enjoy wild birds in our small garden, too. They make our little garden a special place to us!
ReplyDeleteGardens of all shapes and sizes are a delight aren't they Midori! I bet yours is full of inspiration for the wonderful ceramics you create.
DeleteDear Jane,
ReplyDeletewhat a beauty to look at! We have another sight now - barren trees, some few last flowers on the balcony, weather forecast speaking of snow at the week-end. Well - so your post is a lovely reminder of things that will come again, in a while. (I love agapanthus - in Bavaria it looked so beautiful in front of yellow painted castles in the sun!
Oh all seasons have their own particular beauty don't they Brigitta! Snow is so magical, and I am sure you will enjoy it's delights, as long as you have a warm home to return to! Bavaria is a beautiful place indeed, and I can just imagine the blue and yellow together, just gorgeous. Thank you for telling us about it.
DeleteHello Jane,
ReplyDeleteMy, he is a beautiful bird, I love the blue rings on his neck.
Your garden is wonderful. You must get so much pleasure from being out there among the flowers and greenery. I love your photography . . . you're probably getting tired of hearing it, but you have a marvelous eye for the camera. I just love visiting and seeing your photos.
Have a lovely spring day,
Connie :)
Dear Connie, how could I tire of hearing the nice things you say! On the contrary, comments from lovely people like you make blogging such fun! I imagine it is getting a bit chilly at your place by now? Almost winter....keep warm and take care, Jane:)
DeleteYou have a beautiful garden Jane, no wonder Mr Blue Wren loves it there!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tess, I have to admit that I am getting quite good at taking camera angles that avoid the weeds! But let's face it, our blue wren family wouldn't know the difference or care anyway. They are very easy going friends!
DeleteHi Jane, not much time as I'm packing but just wanted to thank you for sharing your wonderful photos. You have a gorgeous garden and take such stunning photos. I'm in India until the spring and (God and the internet willing)I hope to see more of them.
ReplyDeleteTake care Jane.

Hi Jennie, how lovely of you to take the time to write when you must be so busy with your packing. It will be wonderful to hear how you are going over there in India and hope your internet behaves! Have a wonderful trip and hope you are able to keep in touch:) Bon voyage, Jane.
DeleteJane, so beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I love your garden. And I adore wrens. I think of them as tiny angels!
ReplyDeleteTiny angels.....I really like that Lizzy! They are such live wires aren't they, and never seem to stay still for more than a moment.
Deletebeautiful, your garden is gorgeous :)
ReplyDeletewe have agapanthus in bud as well & the silky oaks are just finishing - they had a wonderful crop of flowers this year.
Silky Oaks are beautiful aren't they Vickie? This winter our native orchids hardly flowered at all, but other years they are covered in blooms. I guess it all depends on the weather.
DeleteGreat photos Jane. I am thankful for wonderful cousins like you who give us beautiful photos to light up our rather wintery days. Our little feathered friends are sheltering from the rain and winds!
ReplyDeleteHi Mar! We have had all weathers here since Mum arrived, going from extremely dry, to wet, to boiling hot, and now thankfully pretty average sort of warmy slightly wetty summer weather. Keep warm and dry over there, and the birdies too:)
DeleteHow nice! Your garden is very beautiful and so are the birds. Here in AZ right now is so cold. We have snow today!
ReplyDeleteI am just bringing back my little blog, fixing some messed up post from months ago. I had some harsh days and I think it will get better!
Thanks for visiting again..
Hi Zila, how lovely to hear from you! Hope you can keep warm while we are sweltering right now :) Will be popping by to visit your lovely blog again soon. Life definitely goes in waves and if it's down for a while you can be sure it will soon be up:)
DeleteHi Jane, I just wanted to pop over and wish you a Merry Christmas. I wish that I could send you a big pile of fluffy snow, so that you could make a snowman. God bless you and have a joy filled holiday.
ReplyDeleteConnie :)
Hi Connie! Sorry to take soooooo long to reply to your lovely Christmas wishes. We have had a heat wave recently! Could do with some of that snow of yours! Wishing you a wonderful 2013. Your friend Jane:)
Deletehi Jane! what a gorgeous garden you have ... lovely visitor and love the 'whoops' ;-) makes me want to plant agapanthus here, but unfortunately it's just too harsh for them!!! x
ReplyDeletehappy new year !
Hi Deborah. Sorry I didn't get back to you before now. Things have been hectic with weddings and all! Pity you can't grow agapanthus, but you have some other amazing plants instead:) All the best to you and your family for 2013. Cheers Jane
DeleteHi Jane, I just want to say that I miss you. I do hope that the reason that you are not blogging is because you are having so much pleasure enjoying your life and your warm summer weather. If your weather is hot and you could use a little snow . . . let me know, because we have plenty to spare :) God bless you.
ReplyDeleteYour blogging sister, Connie :)
Dearest Blogging Sister Connie, how very lovely to hear from you and thank you so much for your concern. Things have been frantically busy with a family wedding, Christmas, visitors from overseas, etc etc etc! You get the picture. Weather has been hot, and I appreciate the offer of your snow:) I look forward to getting back in the loop and specially visiting your inspiring blog once more. Thanks Connie, and best wishes to you and your family, from Jane:)
