It is a grey day today. Never a bad thing, as it means lovely even light in which to photograph the beauty around me. The Garden is alive with colour, great swathes of it lining paths and meadows. It is the detail that captures my attention today, the richness and texture of the blooming around me.
Rhodendrons in the most striking colours, proteas, daisies, roses - all vivid against the cool silvery backdrop of this changeable day. I run into Rob Smith, the director of the Garden, who is pondering what to write about in his own blog. (Rob's blog posts are listed in the sidebar under tomahplanttalk). So much beauty to choose from!
This heavy headed magnolia seemed to resting on the leaf.

An hour's stroll. A mind and heart refreshed by cool air and vivid colour. The mist came and then the rain, just as I was leaving.
