    It was worth waiting for:) Think the tamarisk will have to go, though, and be replaced with something darker to provide a good backdrop.

                      Quite a good sunset here this evening, producing some interesting lighting effects at dusk.
                      My herbaceous beds in the late evening twilight, with the camera on a low light setting.

                        My favourite Hybrid Tea Rose planted in 2014 now beginning to do its stuff. It has a wonderful fragrance as well as being a looker and the blooms stand up to rain very well.
