Every Garden I go to this year seems to have a stunning array of purple plants. I love them. From Iris to Allium, the power of purple is strong!

This week’s Photo Challenge is Off -Season.
This rose was caught with a very unseasonal frost, an unfortunate product of living on the high moors!
The Weekly Challenge is Serenity. For me, there is nothing more serene than an english garden in Summer, a gentle breeze, the sounds of bees and the aroma of lavender. So this picture really sums up Serenity for me.
Warm summer days
I don’t know why, but this little flower sums up the great British Summer for me…
Weekly Photo Challenge for some other interpretations of Summer
Following on from last week’s seasonal challenge. This week Ceen Photography has set the challenge of ” Summer”.
This first image sums up Summer for me, the sound of honey bees and a gorgeous sunflower…
The next is another Summer favourite of mine…butterflies. I think its a Painted Lady, but happy to be corrected 🙂
Finally, a close up of a favourite Summer flower, Dahlias

This is a photo of the local community of swallows preparing to leave for the long journey south to Africa. They return every year to this little village on Exmoor, raising their young, providing a wonderful display of aerobatic grace, so I hope their journey was successful.
Ah Sunflower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun;
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller’s journey is done;
Where the Youth pined away with desire,
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,
Arise from their graves, and aspire
Where my Sunflower wishes to go!
William Blake
