Come With Me to Wonderland

Right next door exists a delightful garden in a well structured backyard, so very different to our own. M and R have been away, leaving an open invitation with me (and my camera) to enjoy their garden. Step inside with me and see the wonders I have found over the last week of warm days, dewy mornings and spring thunderstorms.

You may like to see this post following this rose as it opened.

Blue wrens flittered around in the peace and quiet of this little wonderland keeping me company as I soaked in these delights, a privilege I am very grateful for.

Hot Red

A beautiful rich red cactus, draping its flowers over our neighbours' (L and P) front stairs is a sight worth stopping to look at as you walk past. To my delight I was invited over to enjoy and photograph these stunning blooms which have a pinky glow in the sunlight.

Love the cascade of stamens from the green centre, reminds me of a waterfall.

Loving the vivid colours combined with amazing structures, I believe we have a very creative God.

"...it says I love Mummy".

And my heart delights in her, again....

It has been a delight to watch this beautiful rose opening and displaying it's multiple layers of petals. Another treasure from M and R's garden.
Love this last image with the dew glistening in early morning sunshine.
