A statue in the Italian Garden at Ednovean Farm |
Is it my imagination or has a certain peace fallen over the countryside now? The frantic energy of the nesting birds; the voluminous growth of the plants as they approached the time to seed; the scurrying of the animals as they reared their young - all has settled down now, the race has been run and there is a gentle acceptance that that autumn is in the air.
The echiums once so dramatic have faded to elegant whispy spires shedding their seeds for future generation |
In our garden I love the mellow look of the final emerging grasses but couldn't resist one final look back to summer in my final August blog post to celebrate those bright blousy summer days. I took the snap above this morning as I cleared a bedroom terrace of their al fresco breakfast - It must have been wonderfully peaceful to sit and look down over the garde towards St Michaels' Mount and Penzance!
