My maraudings into my neighbours’ gardens are becoming more daring. I’m no longer content to, at most, lean over the fence. I now move within touching distance of the house, made easier in this case because there is no fence and there is no occupant. The white flowers draw me: their solid inner shape and then their dangling … appurtenances, for want of a better word. They must be some kind of lily, possessing as they do those stamens that drip with brown stain.
The next five photos are all edited, using Snapseed.Today DJ features a supremely delicate air plant. This is the most delicacy I can manage for a companion.

Love it, you trespasser you! Phyllis & I have often agreed that this is a gift of our current age-and-stage: we look so proper & respectable, not to mention harmless, that we can get away with such boundary-crossings.

Hymenocallis littoralis or the beach spider lily, as others have mentioned. I think Pauline may have featured them before. Funny looking flowers, like a bindweed with tendrils. I like the Snapseed editing and especially the black and white version. I hadn’t realised there were so many holiday homes where you live, but I suppose that makes sense. A shame there aren’t any amenities in the village.

What? You wouldn’t like a few shops, like a butcher, a baker a greengrocer? To be able to walk to? I love my quiet little hamlet, but I am so dependent on the car.

No! I have my fish supply from my son, and my deck garden for veggies. Although I’m not averse to city living when I’m in Warsaw, I must confess, but no spoilers here.

No fence, no occupant…what an invitation! Never an occupant?

Very occasionally as with a lot of places here. Probably half the village is holiday houses.

You may well have introduced me to Snapseed. I use it nearly every photo shoot, mainly Details.

I’ve seen them somewhere in the Algarve, but these look a bit like aliens, Meg. Silently encroaching. 🙂 🙂
