A Collared Dove waiting for breakfast.
The other day when I was reading Tricia's Tales and saw the photo of a Mahonia in flower it reminded me I hadn't really looked at mine for a while as it is in an area of the front garden I seldom visit.
It is not a plant I get very close to unless needed as those pointed leaves seem to be able to penetrate almost any clothing but it nice to see some colour in the Winter.
Well, you'd never know you were experiencing dreary weather with that subtle but beautiful coloring in your photos...
ReplyDeleteAre you sure that's not a partridge in a pear tree?
I had to ask, as I've just been assisting the seabirds on my blog with their version of the Twelve Days of Christmas.
Hello Glo. It's pity the sunrise colours only last a few minutes, then back to the usual shades of grey.
ReplyDeleteI did have a quick look at your new version of the 12 Days - very good.
Yes John been a bit drab here but a superb day today.
ReplyDeleteI have a Mahonia in my garden, it is over 6ft tall and I have seen bees on the flowers in November.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sky colour John. Such a shame it didn't last.
ReplyDeleteHello Keith. We do seem to get some unusual colours in morning skies these days. More than the usual reds and oranges. Pollution in the atmosphere?
ReplyDeleteHello Adrian. Another dreary wet day here. I think you've sent me your weather ;)
ReplyDeleteHello Lynmiranda. Mine hasn't grown that tall yet, about four foot so far but beginning to branch out nicely.
