I planted this rich purple Salvia last autumn I think, and it is still quite spindly, but once it fills that space between the hydrangea and hebe, I hope it may look rather lovely
it will become a dark pool in amongst all these rich reds
These are echoed, nearer the house, by the pond, where the little waterboy is ever hopeful
Then, nearer still to the house, there is another flush of rich reds and pinks, an old potted rose and another hydrangea
If you turn, these colours bounce off back past the waterboy and the maple
to the lower bed where we started
Those russets were echoed recently by a brief visitation from a regular visitor, who trotted past the back door and scampered off down the garden
What a fine tail you have Foxy Loxy
Whoosh!
Foxy Loxy fits in beautifully - if briskly! I've never had any sort of camera to hand when I've seen our local foxes. But they are delightful..
ReplyDeleteFoxy Loxy and friends (also all called FL of course!) is such a regular visitor to the garden that it's not hard to photograph them. Often the crows and magpies will set up a racket of alarm calls so I pop out and wait, usually with my phone camera as that is always to hand. Such a pleasure to be a wildlife haven!
