Dahlia - Waltzing Matilda

Love the dark foliage......

yes it is so dark and makes a lovely contrast to the colour of the flowers.

You need at least 6 megapixels Mum and x8 zoom for your close-ups. This refurbished one looks a good deal...

and a brain to understand all the instructions no doubt lol I am hopeless with technology. lol Thanks for the link just had a look, think when Paul says this year what do you want for your birthday I will tell him a new camera. lol dropped hints today. Although think it went in one ear and out the other - might tell the girls to remind him though that could work. lol.

Great plan. Most of them these days are point and click...simple!

that's good then I am good at pointing and clicking. Cloudy and dull down here today and rain is forecast but not showing signs of it yet. :O)

Same here. Not cold though.

Its quite warm here now, we have had some sunshine but it has clouded over again. I have been chopping back and clearing out H.g. Claridge Druce now it has finished flowering, its such a thug, but I do love it. Still some flowers on some of the plants so more to do later. Chopped back the overgrowing shrubs and lilac down the side of the crazy paving path, it was meeting up with the roses on the side of the veggie patch. Two barrow loads taken out today. Thank goodness we can dump it on the muck hill in the wood to die down.
