For the past few years I’ve been meaning to visit the Tulip Top Garden. Only this year we finally managed to go there. The garden opens for roughly one month long every year, so I felt lucky we ‘caught’ it in time this year.
The garden was beautiful, the flowers were gorgeous -the tulips looked so vibrant and healthy- and even the weather was kind to us that day. The flowers in the garden provided a very colourful and perfect backdrop for this week’s portrait project.
To be an impromptu tour guide is an inevitable role when a friend comes from abroad to visit. I was playing that role for my friend earlier this week. I think it is good for us, who live in the visited town, to embrace this role every now and then. I went to places I haven’t been before even after all these years (I thought the inside of the Old Parliament House was quite interesting).
At the Cockington Green Garden, by now a very familiar place for me, I’ve noticed these beautiful flower bush that I’ve never noticed there before. I don’t know what their names are but I think they are quite lovely in their colours and beautiful long stems. It’s totally about looking at familiar things with new eyes for me, it’s brilliant!

Say good-bye to today’s sun.
This was the last capture of the day. The beautiful golden light that shone through the front window just too pretty to miss.

These were all the little flowers that my baby gal picked for me today.
Sweet little flowers.
Sweet little girl …

A bit too much fun on a Sunday usually means less time to take a picture. This is the only picture I took with my iPhone today (gasp!).
