I know it will be a little bitter/sweet for you at this time. I just picked some 'Hidcote' lavender from my garden this morning. Your photos are wonderful as always, although I do feel so sorry for those rain-laden peonies. I hope the sun has come out now.

I am sure this...Such wonderful pictures as always! <br />I am sure this was bitter sweet for you, time is such an odd and bitter sweet thing. Experiences like this just bring it home. I salute your courage in facing it. <br />For myself, I must say that I appreciate so much the way colors look in the rain. I used to live in the Seattle area of the USA, where is rains much of the time. That was about ten years ago, and since that time I have lived a number of other places, all with more sun and less rain, and I not infrequently think about how much I miss the lovely depth and intensity of natural color when seen against the infinity of grey on a rainy day, and the way that water increases the depth and tone and subtle contrast of the natural world. I don't know if I'm expressing myself very well, but I hope you see what I mean. I like rainy days.

Since I am a great friend of Allium, these photos made me especially enthusiastic. It must indeed be a strange feeling to visit a place again where you have been with Jan the last time - and I think it's good, that the place is filled with visual memories of the past and now also filled with new images / impressions... This new and "wet" pictures are particularly colorful and bright because of the rain, they own a very special charm.<br />Lots of hugs my dear and thank you for your TWO comments (I think at the moment there are new problems with Blogger... some of my friends told me they had complications with posting a comment... grrrm...)<br />XOX TraudeRostrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901976103765887360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907830779862347023.post-12063671864556163602014-06-19T20:22:58.209+02:002014-06-19T20:22:58.209+02:00I definitely need to go and visit Hidcote, such a ...I definitely need to go and visit Hidcote, such a lovely garden and surrounding countryside ..so glad you enjoyed your trip to the UK.
