Post for nature lovers

A few snaps from around my garden, taken just five minutes ago with a Fuji Finepix S9500 and severely downsized from the original 3488 x 2616 pixels

These are gorgeous. There's a grape vine in my garden, but it definitely doesn't look as healthy as your today.

Looks like you have a really beautiful place there.

Let's just say it was nice sunshine ;-) The garden looks more like a construction site.

Ah, you make me homesick. Nasturtiums! My mum used to use them in salads...

Lovely stuff. Love the grape vines. Are they wild or cultivated?

We have snow on the ground here. This makes me miss Spring.

Oh, they're pretty wild, especially when we forget to water them.
I remember snow from a visit to the UK circa 1991. My kids have never seen the stuff - we drove to the top of a mountain/volcano in NZ in 2001 just to find some and arrived about 12 hours after it had all melted.

Mt Ruapehu? That was my first sight of snow. From a distance, though. I was 20 years old.

Simon Haynes said...

Not sure. It was the North Island, that whopping great volcano south of Rotorua.

The new camera is obviously a roaring success, Simon! You'll have to go to the snow country for some contrasting shots:-)
