The sun was just coming up when I went to get the paper this morning……… and caught my eye shining through the agapanthus, so grabbed my lensbaby for a quick pic.

This summer I have blipped the agapanthus which line our drive several times, but not again til next summer as we spent the day in the garden and all the dead heads have been removed along with the old lower leaves which rot and cause disease. It was a productive day as we tidied another steep area of our garden and filled a huge trailer to take to the dump. That area is supposed to be a “look after itself garden’ but after 5 years of very little attention, the flaxes, cabbage trees, arthropodiums and grasses were very messy, but are now much tidier ……………… and we are very weary!!
