  1. Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Friday. It has been a windy night but not much hammering rain. (So far!) Must be summer!

    We went to Inverness yesterday, so MrsD could get some shopping done. I got socks, must be Christmas! 😉 Today will hopefully be quiet, but I doubt it.

    Enjoy your day, whatever it is you are doing. Have fun, take care.

    Today's photo is another flowery one from the Butchart Gardens, Purple Dalmatian Foxgloves.

  2. Foxgloves being simply fabulous in the light of a summer evening. Sometimes you need to pause your stroll home and just appreciate a quiet, little moment like this ...

  3. More Foxgloves on this evening's rather tired amble homeward; this one was leaning out of its garden, as if to say hello.

    Set by fields of #Clover

  13. I'm finally accepting that deep-shade loving plants are the only thing that will grow in the border right outside my home office. So I'm digging up endless foxgloves from around the garden and replanting them here, looking forward to a beautiful June with spires of digitalis.
