Welcomed home by blossoms on the block

We are home on the mountain. I went for a morning walk whilst Fiona went off to her exercise group. I was amazed at the richness of the blossoms on the rose bushes, the orchids and other plants. So I thought I'd share a few of those delights.

And instead of standing at the headland at the cove in Scotland I was now standing on the back deck looking across the valley to the mountains - gorgeous soft light. It will take us a bit of time to get used to the early sunrise.

And I will finish with a photo of dew droplets on a rose petal

    the landforms in your valley view are so different from ours ... endlessly fascinating to see, especially this one which seems to have the sunlight coming in at a different angle than usual
