Lenten Rose (Hellebores) in the garden.

Here's Buddy, my aunt's dog, enjoying a sausage treat.

Thank God they're bitches. ;)

It looks like a type of vetch Charles. The nearest I can find is kidney vetch which thrives on the coast here, but has yellow flowers.

Yes Charles, they were just out in the garden and I could smell them from a few metres away. To be honest, I quite like the scent of them, but possibly not if they were indoors. My pet hate are the large lilies with their sickly, cloying aroma; I simply can't stand the things; though it may be...

These are the best hyacinth we've ever grown.

That ain't no snowdrop Ovi; it's a Leucojum, commonly called a "summer snowflake" . Lovely colours all round though - thanks for sharing.

Just appearing in our woodland patch. Euphorbia. Brunnera. Primrose and Vinca (Periwinkle).

I think this is a form of lichen but if not, I know a few of you fun-guys will let me know. They (it?) is forming on a fallen twig in the garden.

This is what is commonly known as a Money Plant or Jade Plant. My Mum's had one for over 50 years and it's never flowered. This one's a cutting off my daughter-in-law and both hers and mine are now blooming. Poor photo, sorry.

Will he be getting a partner?

I once got bitten by a spider, which could well have been one of those. I was working in a BT manhole which usually had a few residents. I felt something crawling up inside my trouser leg and then the blighter bit me. Nasty devils aren't they.

He looks a real cutie and we've had a couple of tiny jumping spiders in the bathroom that both me and my wife have taken too. However, like Scott, I really have an aversion to spiders and I've just come in from our log store where I've had to battle with some real monsters. One was a whopper...

I actually inferred you got there too late for the actual sunrise. :D I'm glad to see you're out and about back on your favourite stomping ground. It's been a bit of a depressing winter so far and we've had so much mist and rain down here that I've not been shooting much at all. Here's hoping...

I guess you overslept. :LOL:

A welcome touch of colour in the depths of winter.

You do me an injustice Sir. I reckon it was at least 2.5 cm.

This is what I woke up to yesterday morning. Bedroom view north. Bedroom view south. Here on the West Wales coast, we rarely get snow, but a phenomenon our weather presenter calls "the Pembrokeshire `Dangler" delivered this for us.

This was our Boxing Day walk.

You seem to have been keeping that one to yourself Phil; I've never heard of that one before.

I absolutely love those Bokeh swirls bottom right. ;) ;)

Moss covered tree in Troserch Wood.

We've got quite a few dotted around the edge of our lawn which we refer to as weeds. However, I'm in the process of creating a new mini-wildflower meadow and bought a selection of seeds suitable for the area. Yup, you guessed it, ribwort plantain is one of the components. So, let's call it a...

The way the weather's going, you won't have long to wait. ;)

Leaves of the Katsura tree. I was obviously a few weeks early visiting this one. Apparently, as the leaves start to colour up in autumn (fall) they start to smell like caramel.

Stunning bark texture on this Robinia in Queenswood Park, Herefordshire.

Lovely colours there Ovi. Being on the wild Atlantic coast, we aren't well off for trees around here. What few we do have have been battered by the recent storms and have lost all of their leaves before they had a chance to change colour. 😞

Aside from all the wonderful warm colours in autumn (fall), I delight in the grasses that appear at their best at this time of year and give a good showing right through the winter in our garden.

Aah peace. But sadly, no lovely ladies here. 😞

Nightmare?

Hot, hot, hot!

Perhaps we should have a new thread: Pondscapes......or Lakescapes. :D

Japanese Anemone

Iris, certainly Rose.

Beech trees, Stinchar valley, Western Scotland.

Helianthus 'Lemon Queen'?

This one popped up on our front lawn a couple of years ago.

Snowberry shrub.
