Dark winter day

The snow, that made "everything" beautiful white, is gone. Now the dark January days are back.
But this dark, rainy weather can be great to make photos. I always like the dark brown branches of the trees in winter.

A tribute to my dear parents

I accidentally removed this post, while I was using the blogger app on my phone.
This is a tribute to my dear parents.
My father died on the 3rd of November, my mother, she had dementia and couldn't live without my father, died two days later.

Purple Helleborus

It is winter, Helleborus time. Wonderful winter flowering plants.
This is a Helleborus purpurascens, I made it last year, it is not flowering yet.

Sheep in the mist

Early december morning. Lovely to see the sheep in the mist, a bit mysterious.

The sheep are every year only for a short period at that place.

The summer is gone

The wonderful warm yellow English rose Golden Celebration is flowering again.
Today we had some rain, after weeks of no rain. Always so beautiful to see the drops on the rose petals.

It seems the summer is gone now, it is not so sunny and warm anymore.

The seeds of the Hollyhock. So beautiful in a web of "lace".

The lovely Dahlias always brighten up the autumn garden.

Flowers, flowers, summer memories

Flowers, I love to photograph flowers. In the garden, in the countryside, everywhere.
Most of the time I use my macro lens, to see and photograph the amazing details.

Scabiosa Purpurascens is one of my favorite flowers. The flowers are so delicate and have a wonderful blue color.

A single purple Columbine.
Below the hardy Geranium versicolor. All the photos I made of photos in my garden.

Summer in October

It feels and looks like summer, it is 25C :-), but it is October.
Of course it is nice that it is so warm and sunny, but it isn't normal and we haven't had rain (enough rain) for a long time. I'm worried about the climate changes.

I'm glad there are still a lot of flowers blooming in the garden. A few weeks ago I  bought the Anemone, I love the beautiful delicate flowers and it is a lovely autumn flower.
The sunny Aster is also flowering very good and is growing very well. 

Still or again flowering in october

The beautiful yellow David Austin rose Graham Thomas is flowering again.
This is an English rose, with cupped blooms. It has a wonderful fragance.
I love English roses because there are flowering for a long time and these rose plants are healthy and strong.

The last days it is very warm, like summer, 24 C. 

This purple pink Phlox is still flowering in the garden. I have many Phlox plants they are perpect garden plants.

Floral Friday Fotos

Sunny white Rudbeckia

Last month I also bought a white Rudbeckia garden plant. There are also beautiful, like the purple ones.
There are photogenic too :-)
I used my 250 mm Canon telelens to get close to the flower, I couldn't get close enough with my 60mm macro lens.

Purple Rudbeckia

Wonderful autumn flowers, the purple pink flowers of the Rudbeckia.
They brighten up the garden in fall.
Love the way they look with the petals a bit hanging down and the stamen at the top.
The contrasting colors a so beautiful too.

Pink rose in the morning sun

I was happy to see the morning sun on the beautiful pink flowers of the climbing rose. I don't know the name of it.
The sunlight created a very beautiful background too.

I made this photos with my Canon eos 70D camera.

Pink Phlox flowering in the garden

Love this plant, the Phlox. Very long flowering garden plant, very easy plant.
The sunlight on the flowers was so wonderful.

Beautiful Rhododendron

The Rhododendron is one of the most beautiful spring shrubs, I think.
Love the sunlight on the petals of the flowers, great moment to make a photo
:-)
