I've been meaning to take part in Tara Cain's Gallery over at Sticky Fingers for ages. This week I finally got my act together. The theme is red, meaning Halloween which isn't really my thing, or just red, which is.
Clockwise from top left they are:
- Me in my running vest at last Sunday's Cardiff Half Marathon.
- The doors to the lambing shed and the old dairy.
- My back door. We have a new door with a stained glass rose panel waiting to go on. One day.
- One of my blueberry bushes. Lovely fruit in the summer and gorgeous autumn foliage. They need acidic soil to grow which is why they do so well here in the Preseli hills.
- The old churn shed. Nature is taking over here now but this a a relic of agricultural history. This hasn't been a dairy farm since the early 1980s. A stream runs through the bottom of this shed and after the cows had been milked the churns of milk would be placed in the running water to cool them before they were taken to the bottom of the drive to be collected by the lorry.
- Hawthorn berries. We have a bumper crop on this tree in my garden this year.
Lovely photos, those old doors have such character, I bet they could tell a few tales. Your new door in waiting sounds lovely, I have a few 'one day' projects waiting on the happy farmer here. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely montage! Beautiful.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful reds, love your doors. Lovely shades all sitting perfectly in tune.
ReplyDeleteI love red too, though I did draw the line at a red and white kitchen with red grouting... remember when that was fashionable? No? I must be old!
I love how you've put your photo's together. I love your part of Wales so I'm very envious. Mind if I 'follow' you?
ReplyDeleteDelightful pictures, Mags. All those various hues.
ReplyDeleteAt first, though, I thought you were going to do a movie review.
Lovely montage: love the marathon image and the old chum shed - very atmospheric. It feels very AUTUMNAL!
ReplyDeleteI love those photos. Funny, I never think of myself as particularly liking red, more of a green person, but I find myself planning to include some red in my new kitchen. Might base it on those doors!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great collage of photos - I love how you've placed them. They really work well together. I'm quite partial to your current door, I think it has a lot of character, so much so that it's triggered a couple of lines in my notebook.
