This was a birthday present from Jane - a chilli-shaped wine bottle-stopper, made of glass.
Quickly put to use you will note... (Sainsbury's Taste The Difference Fairtrade Chilean Carmenere).
Willow catkin - known sometimes as the "Pussy Willow"... Very characteristic of Spring.
Bluebell buds coming through, showing a bit of colour now.
Raindrops on the leaves of Aquilegia (Columbine)
A corner of my patio, with the recently tidied-up pot plants (mostly herbs). In the big black pots are Wallflowers
.
The husk of a Physalis fruit, left over from last year, entwined with a dead leaf.

You probably noticed, but these days I take photos of practically everything!
The present was for Jane? or you? Actually I'm not one to talk I buy things for my partner that are actually for me all the time....
ReplyDeleteGreat photo's Mark and rightly on display as individuals.
ReplyDeleteThe husk of a Physalis fruit is amazing and the apple bud looks a little like 'ET phone home'!
Thanks for bringing them into the light ;D
That glass chilli wine bottle-stopper is so cute-talk about a conversation piece!!
ReplyDeleteThe physallis husk is so pretty, amazing. I love the bottle stopper, very appropriate.
ReplyDeleteI think the Husk is my favorite pic of the bunch, though that stopper is attractive as well.
