Fleeting #CloseUp, 6 September 2021

Remember the cactus flower from yesterday? Already it has started to die off. A thing of beauty that has last just a few hours. We took the opportunity to check on the water lilies, and this morning a new palm leaf was unfurling.

In the garden #CloseUp, 5 September 2021

The garden was blooming yesterday. The magnolia tree, with its spiky flower buds and white flowers, a cactus — whose flowers will only last a few hours — and of course, our old favourite the water lillies. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/09/in-garden-closeup-5-september-2021.html

Morning dew, 24 August 2021
