My old 3 megapixel Konica which does wonderful closeups in warm colours, and my cooler toned Sony cybershot, with its 20+ megapixels which I can’t tame to good closeups.
Maybe dilapidation and textures is a good description of me too. F bought the house from an old lady, whose traces remain. The sign on the gate is part of her legacy.
Jonquils. Now that’s a word you don’t hear often these days. They are part of the narcissus family I think, but I always thought they were yellow! Very heavily scented?
I know F has a thing about frogs as we have had a conversation about them on Facebook. She even said that she had had a bullfrog croaking loudly under her bedroom window. The one under the pot plant would be a lot more popular in the wee small hours of the night.
Oooh lots of lush stuff there, the door, the buds and lichen are lovely. Best of all that fence is amazing! Oh and the frog tucked in there is so cute. What a fascinating garden she has 🙂
I’m contemplating a blog her many fascinations! There are other frogs I’m slowly noticing, tucked away in odd corners, so there could well be a PS post.
A very interesting palette of tone and texture, plus some ingenious improvisation in the fastening department. Hope you are settling in to your animal carer role plus adjusting to the cold starts.
No cold starts. The dogs are less eager than us. F was starting early because of work. Some of the ingenuity is Andrew’s legacy – he should so be still alive.

Two cameras? What are you using? These leaves close-ups are so pleasing to the eye. Thank you for your lovely entry, Meg.

A garden with character is always inviting for photographs. Love the shots of the new growth, Meg.

I’m glad to see you here again. I know a few gardens with character back home – a series, maybe, if I ever return to base!

Lots of dilapidation, rust and lichens to catch your camera’s eye here. So surprising to see daffodils!

Jonquils I think. They’re lucky to survive the dogs’ attentions. I suspect the old man’s whiskers are slowly killing their hosts.

Very heavily scented, to the point of near-headache.

Lilies do that to me. I like the waft of the scent as I pass by, but lilies in a room are just too much.

‘Full of character’ is the expression I think I’m looking for, Meg 🙂 Like Gilly, I love the ‘squished’ frog 🙂

I don’t know. I rather like the sound of frogs croaking – and they have been, although not a bullfrog yet.
