A perfect gardening day...

Some days I spend ages taking photographs and producing pretty garden pictures, when I should be actually working in the garden. For example, today - the weather is benign, the sun has been shining, and there's no wind. Oh yes, a perfect gardening day...

So where have I been? And what have I been doing? Oops. See above. And below.

 Full of wonderful colours.

But at least it's not all roses. I've taken a few photographs of the rough stuff, more politely referred to as a wilderness area.

 It may have a tidy edge, but this garden needs some serious planning - and planting!

And the somewhat erratic wild life. A photographic record of a garden needs balance. As does the gardener!
