Evening Time

What a wonderful simple pleasure just to stroll in the garden as evening comes. We have been inundated with rain over the last couple of days, and some parts have been flooded. But I looked at these beautiful flowers and they seemed to be saying 'thank you'.
I am amazed at the height of the Hollyhock. It was self-sown.


The Dietes often flop over, but here they are standing tall.

This is surely a gift of real pleasure, and I am linking with  Dayle at Simple Pleasures.

  7. Beautiful, Mave. It always amazes me that one half of the world is in summer while the other is in winter. Isn't that just like our Creator to make such variety?

    Blessings,
