Temporary Post

A temporary post for my new public planting slideshow, still under construction and destined for Veg Plotting eventually. Seeing it's now got a comment, I'm keeping it here permanently ;)

Snowy Fleurs

A touch more snow yesterday and a sharp frost overnight made driving up the hill quite exciting this morning! I'm glad I didn't meet anything to make me stop - I doubt I would have got going again. I took these photos just after lunch today - already the sun is working its magic and pulling my flowers out of their sugary winter coating. More snow is forecast for tomorrow, so the pictures may get a little bit more dramatic after then :)

Here's 42 pictures taken this year which haven't appeared on Veg Plotting. I hope you enjoy them. The show's called Wiltshire Without because all the shots were taken outside of this fair county. A lot of the parishes around here have two main components: a Within part - the central area, which is in turn surrounded by a Without one. This often extends well beyond the built up area.

Guess what the Wiltshire slideshow's called...

April Flower Shower

April's sidebar slide show and first Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day post on 15/4/2008. All pictures were from my garden except the Cherry Blossom from around the corner and my next door neighbour's magnolia tree taken from our side of the fence.

Update - October 2008: This and the rest of my monthly flower slideshows can be found on my Open Garden blog.
