My indisposition precluded much photography

he theme for this week's Photo Hunt is walking. As readers will realise walking is something that I have not been able to do much of recently. My cast came off two weeks ago but even now I am not exactly mobile. Still, last wekk I did get out into teh garden on my crutches and I did work out how to take some shots while propping myself up. I have posted other examples of all of these flowers in teh last week (except the abutilon). Still I hope you enjoy what I photographed on what was a short walk in the garden

Photo Hunt - Time

The subject for this week's Photo Hunt is time. Not being particularly happy with any of my photos of time pieces and still not well enough to head out on a hunt this week I decided to stretch the theme and choose the time when our flagship plant comes into bloom. May is the time that our species tree paeony (Paeonia lutea var. ludlowii) puts up its beautiful yellow flowers. They don't last for long sadly. For the rest of the summer the paeony is a gloriously large foliage plant

More flowers brazenly showing off their bits

I've had a crap week and while there are subjects of interest, I think a day of gardening is in order. Here's anohter pic of a tree paeony flower. Definitely one of the best features of our garden.
