WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is  Y and Yellow. The first two photographs are of YELLOW Roses.  The reminder of my images are of my grandson. Matthew who  is skippering this YACHT and I thought you might like to see some below shots.  You can also see red and YELLOW  jerrycans on deck and in the "heads" you can see REFLECTIONS but can you see my white hair in four of them?  In the saloon and galley, the sun is streaming in making YELLOW REFLECTIONS and perhaps you can also see a YELLOW tea towel hanging up?

  I hope you enjoyed this post today.

I appreciate your visit and comments.

SUNDAY THOUGHT

 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

THROUGH MY LENS -Conversations Weekend

Today and Wednesday I am showing you my final photographs that I took during the CONVERSATIONS weekend of 16/17 September at Mount Stewart House and Gardens.  Today, I was on a garden tour with four Canadians.  Enjoy.  

Here the guide is showing us a beautiful Myrtle Tree.

The trees at Mount Stewart are fabulous 

but often people miss the beautiful little suprises 

that I often find at the base of these huge giant trees.

On Wednesday I am showing you a conservation tour I did in the house so pop in and see that post.

Many thanks for your visit and comments

Flowers Edits

This is a post that I have had in draft for months, in fact all these wild plants by the seaside were photographed last summer and then I decided to play with the shots a little.  No laptop still but I still have a few drafts left for you to see but I feel I have lost my right arm.

Pick ONE and let me know which one you like please.

Many thanks for continuing to visit me and 

also thanks to all who leave comments.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS - Mount Stewart House and Gardens (Part 5)

All, bar one of the following reflections are photographed in the garden of 
Mount Stewart Gardens.   
You will see that the mirror reflection is to be found in the house.  
The video of the Mute Swans with their 7 cygnets are at the end.

I just have one reflection shot from inside the house.

I told you on my post on Tuesday I would show you the video of the Mute Swans today as it has lovely reflections on the lake at Mount Stewart.

CLICK HERE if the video does not appear. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and I am linking it with 

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS.

Tomorrow, on Saturday Critters I will be showing you two very different horses and I am pretty confident that no one will guess what either will be like.   Apart from the two horses, there are lots more critters I found at Mount Stewart.

Thanks you for visiting and also to those who leave comments.
