In the Garden - Dungog

In the Garden - Dungog

5 Jan 2011

It's been a while since I did an 'In the Garden' post. I don't get to Dungog all that often, I guess every 3 months or so. Last time I visited it was spring, this time it was summer. The garden changes so much with the seasons. The lime trees were heavy with fruit and the iceberg roses were in full bloom.

I needed some help with plant identification, but I was assured this was a crab apple tree.

I already knew this was a zinnia though.

Sometimes when things in the garden are a little past their prime, they are still beautiful.

Another burst of colour from the garden.

I need a bit of advice from my helpful readers. My p.c. is about to die and needs to be replaced. For the first time ever I've been looking at a mac. If I buy one, I'll need to buy new software as none of mine is mac compatible and I'll need to get familiar with a new operating system.

Should I jump ship or stick with what I know?

My brother is very proud of his house, Coimbra and it's garden. Although it's officially autumn here, the weather is positively summery.

The garden is a little perplexed though. The winter vegetables are on the vine but the roses are still in full bloom.

The agapanthus have been and gone but their seed pods are so sculptural I think I prefer them to the flowers. I'd intended to shoot some film during the weekend but didn't get the chance so I converted the images into black and white and tried to make the images as film like as possible,

See you all again soon,
