As I watch the snow fall outside at a rate of about 1″ per hour, I thought I’d take some photographs of my indoor geraniums to lift my spirits! I hate being cooped up inside and playing with my camera always moves my focus towards… Continue Reading “Indoor Geraniums”
April 8 and 9, 2023 Our overnight stay in the village of Aubrac was nothing short of luxurious! As soon as I arrived in the town, I went in search of our accommodations – the Chambre d’hôtes La Colonie. We were spending a little… Continue Reading “Le Puy Camino – via Podiensis: Aubrac to Saint Chély-d’Aubrac”

My clematis vine has stopped blooming for the season but I had captured some blossoms last month when it was in full flower. It thrives in a corner of my garden even though it is seriously neglected by me!
It was another soggy morning here in Vermont but that’s okay. It gives me the opportunity to photograph raindrops on my flowers! I’ve been able to keep the Japanese beetles at bay for now. For some reason, they love the white Lavatera flowers and… Continue Reading “Lavatera after the Rain”
I love testing out new plants for the garden. I planted a section along my picket fence with a grouping of annuals and the Lavatera is finally starting to bloom. What a pleasant surprise! It makes a nice back of the border specimen with… Continue Reading “Lavatera – Tree Mallow”
