Meetings with Remarkable Trees, Thomas Pakenham. I'm glad to have this book, as, after I'd bought it, in the 1990s, there was a storm in the UK, felling many old trees.

Strawberry Thief by Morris & Co. I love the complexity of the pattern.

Paleis Het Loo, Apeldoorn, the Netherlands.

The lilies in my garden are beautiful, this year.

Tiny little violets - Viola Cornuta, “Helen Mount.”  I planted these quite a while ago, they started coming up, and a few warm days have resulted in these tiny, pretty faced violas cheerfully lighting up the garden.

My Buddha is having a bit of fun in the greenhouse.
