My Blog List... Chatty
My Blog List interesting
from an old gravestone
If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.
(from memory so may not be word perfect)

The scenery is breathtaking. The fireweed looks like our willowherb, although I've never seen it in such profusion. I wonder if it is the same plant?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it's the same see

I think the UK version was a Victorian garden escape that naturalized?
These photos are gorgeous, Val, absolutely stunning.
