2 Pictures From My Garden!

[debris4spike]

As most of you know I am not a keen gardener but I took a couple of pictures in my garden last week so that I could finish off the film in my camera - the ones I took of DJ's life.  

But I am posting them to practice making pictures smaller for LJ - so, thank you beanbeans  the coding worked!

  

 

In further news (!) I have just got back from feeding the horses as Toni comes home today - it is raining ... so, guess who fell over!!!!!  Yes ... me!  Well, no injuries and at least it wasn't in front of James; so all good!

In yet more news I heard that today is officially the first day of summer!  Yes - on the news that is what was announced, as the first swans have hatched at Abbotsbury Swannery and that apparently means that summer is here ... when I was sprawled in the mud I did disagree.!!  For those who don't live in England here is a link to Abbotsbury Swannery

Those are lovely pictures, Deb. I really like the purple of those flowers.

Summer??? O.O I think the swans are confused. LOL!

My mother said that the swans were obviously not living in the same England as she was!!!

Yes - I don't know what those flowers are - but they are stunning, and great to have some colour in April.

Thanks for the e-mail ... as you can see it worked!!

Summer? Really?

Well thats what the swans are saying - I am sitting in here with a jumper on ... and it is raining outside!

Everything is starting to look green in the gardens .... including flowers that cause allergies ;-)
But these flowers look good.

Some flowers have the most amazing colours don't they?

Lovely flower picture. It makes the sun shine brighter.

Swannery? I have never heard that word. I will look it up, but I, personally, I've never seen a swan in NY.

I think it is a name made up for Abbotsbury - there is a large flock of them there - there were worries earlier in the year that there would have to be a cull due to bird-flu, but all OK now.

We have swans in most lakes in England - and all are the property of The Queen ... as kids we are all warned that if we upset them then a swan would break one of our legs ... but no one has ever heard of the injury actually occuring. They are stunning birds - we have a pair in Bude

I'm glad you're ok. :)

We've already hit triple digit temperatures here, but today, it was cold! It's supposed to be spring here!

Mute swans? Do they chase people like the ones here do? It sounds like a stealth attack in the making!

We are always warned about swans when we are kids - but I have never heard of anyone injured by one! They are protected ... and all are actually owned by The Queen.
