Inspiration

Early morning

At very busy times with a lot of people trying to read the blog, it can take a while for images to load – they can remain grey. If this occurs, please try again later or make sure you are on a very fast broadband connection! Apologies if this is happening today.

Why is it that gardens are at their most beautiful early in the morning or at dusk?

Either way, here are a few shots from very early this morning.  Shortly afterwards clouds rolled in across the valley. I am not sure if I haven’t seen the best of the day, but I think I’ll be in the garden whatever the weather.
