I Spy, with my Little Eye…
Sometimes, when sitting at my computer, I often look out of my window. Hard not to really, as it is right there beside me. I can’t see much, just a scrap of sky and a couple of my bonsai. I do some of my best thinking staring out of this window. Sometimes, however, there are…

#Six on Saturday… #Bonsai

by
Collage was created at PicMonkey.com For some reason, I thought I couldn’t take part in this week’s #Six on Saturday because flowers are hard to find in our garden just now. There are some interesting flower buds to look forward to, but nothing worth photographing. Then I realised that I didn’t need flowers, as it…
