lunch in kensington park gardens
with Mr HPMcQ
how bloody lovely
out in the garden this week i was reminded how it’s not just the flowers that are pretty and beautiful, but also the leaves. all so very different from one another, be it in colour, shape or size, all the lines and patterns that they have on their surface, and the shape and textures that they create as they layer upon one another. so i decided there and then that this weeks how does your garden grow will be all leafy. so i started snapping away at the various leaves in our back yard, when i stumbled across a little monkey hiding amongst those leaves too.
this poppy sits in the front garden of one of the houses opposite ours. it is big. seriously big. it’s the size of a side plate. so blooming stunning. the colours in this photo have not been tinkered with at all. and i like a tinker. how stunning is this flower. it looks almost like fire.
