a garden update. a ballet walk
Lily does ballet at a nearby studio once a week
when it is not raining, we walk there
i always try to have us leave a bit early so we can enjoy the walk
there are always so many beautiful gardens and flowers to admire
and Lily always wants to smell and pick the flowers…
joining Annie for how does your garden grow?
ps- these were taken on two different days. one on a sunny day. and the other on a not so sunny day
beautiful bougainvillea
have no idea what these are but how cool are those red and black seeds?
so delicate
i love these so much and am hoping to have one of these bushes/tree one day
always picking flowers
buttercup
there are even vines to swing from…

Those little red and black seeds are amazing, not seen anything like that before! Leaving early to enjoy the walk is a nice idea. 🙂 Lovely colours as always and I hope you discover more lovely plants on your walks.

Your daughter is absolutely adorable! Her eyes would get me anytime she wanted anything – ha! The flowers are gorgeous and you are so lucky to have a pretty walk with some vine swinging included.

Oh such colours! Gorgeous gorgeous stuff and I too am jealous of the vine swinging action. I love coming here – it’s always a colour fest – which is just what our British eyes need at the moment! Beautiful Lily such lovely big eyes – I don’t blame her for wanting to stop and pick the flowers!
Thanks for joining in again – beautiful as ever x

Love that first photo of Lily with her bright blue eyes! Must be so lovely going on this walk, looks utterly stunning. I love the black and red seeds but all the flowers are the brights I love. The vine is pretty cool too 🙂
