Watching the Bats

Chimnea at dusk:
we watch bats in the garden
as the sun settles.
dancing flames keep us warm
to the crackle of burning pine.

Back Garden Bench

After dog walking
some garden relaxation
while two dogs get fuss.

Sunset garden

This is the seating area outside the kitchen door. We have a lot of seating areas in the garden but this is the most commonly used. Plants in pots and solar lights and a sturdy bench that K won in a school raffle long before I met her.

I like blue in the garden. People get bored when I paint everything blue but it goes so well with the plantage.

The upturned pot is for a cup of tea and there's another bench facing this one (I'm sat on it taking the photo.)

To the left of this picture, just before the four foot drop, is
a chimnea that K's mum bought her for her birthday a few years ago.

That's rather pretty, too. Cast iron and covered in rust. If you click on the image to full-size it, you can see the setting sun on the house in the three blue balls.

And this is the cat, Nute, studiously not making a decision. She's always been one to sit on the fence.
