Just some pretty pics

Pics from my Saigon home

Spirit houses

These are photos taken by Barbara Wilson in Cambodia.

I have had a spirit house - a wooden one I brought back with me from there, and I put it in the Library at the time - at Kowloon Tong. It was too large and fiddly to carry with me thenceforth, but I would love a cement spirit house in my garden now.

Madame Butterfly

Lovely flutterby visit this morning, around all the plants. I happened to snap her at the dipladenia pots.

Taffy and the topiary

Topiaries I am nurturing.

Tree decor

I like to attach little ornaments to trees, small dangles, bells and trinkets.

Painted this cheap white bird thing. I love how it looks hanging amongst the flowers.

Crystal in the flame tree.

Feathers standing in sand, in a pot. I often find feathers, obviously dropped from birds, in the garden, on the grass. I just stand them in the sand-pot.

Random balls getting rusty in the garden.

I wondered what to do with these large bells. I was going to sell them, but decided to attach them to the fence, so that they would make a noise, should anyone attempt to climb it.
