Vintage rose garden, summer eve

Since I posted about late Autumn in the rose gardens previously, and it has been a year since first taking photos there, I thought I would post a few from other seasons, starting with last summer!

One vintage eve a year ago, in the rose gardens, at wonderful mad, running about, two year old pace...





And a size comparison reference. I don't think my little one's tiny size always translates in photos of just her, but as you can see, she is teeny!

and magic light

Happy summer solstice! x

Just wanted to share a little bit of our magic evening before the sun set on the longest day, and this is how she prefers to walk about wearing her hats now... non-seeing :)

Technically incorrect image but beloved anyway



More summertime...

~ lavender evening ~

It's nearly Summer and sort of almost Christmas and we have little lavender gift plans.
We went out last night before sunset and picked some lavender to tie and dry over the coming weeks. xo





in-between the lavender and the buttercup grass...

birthday gifts,
ladybird hair ribbons ♥
on the evening of a second birthday
nearly sunset

i just loved how the light of the setting sun shone through the ribbons here...



And not too bad evening light the next night too :)

like a dream...

Summer holidays!

"'Come to the edge,' He said.
They said, 'We are afraid.'
'Come to the edge,' He said.
They came.
He pushed them...and they flew."

Though no fear for our little boy here!
