Little Copper Dress …
Posted on by exceptionalea
… dresser, that is! Vancouver’s South Granville area is home to a number of interesting shops, and the manager at the business displaying this creative dresser from Judson Beaumont’s Straight Line Designs was incredibly gracious to this window shopper.

All alone in her little spot on the plaza, this Chaplin-esque young gal was nonetheless in full character and full of optimism, as seen by the tin in front of her box.

Perspective

Here’s the result of another early morning meander. While I enjoy photographing people, there are some images that beg to be unbroken by the appearance of others, and this was one such pier.

Sun Worshippers
Posted on by exceptionalea
Southeast of Seville in late June, we saw field after field of sunflowers in the sun baked soil. Independent of the sense of flower heads turned in unison and deference, I appreciated the muting of colours to the rear of…

Giraffes, horses, hares and more wonderful creatures: at the Chelsea Flower Show/CFS today. These driftwood sculptures are by James Doran-Webb. I recognised his style from some equally appealing sculptures at @Beaulieu.

My thanks to all who offered suggestions for this first visit to the Chelsea Flower Show. Six hours later, I have new memories (and scents emblazoned) and more pics than you want to know.

If you’ve tired of my many New Forest horse vids, just skip this series! I loved watching them graze and run in the moonlight.

One of my fav displays - at Rag and Bone - around Sloan Square this week, where local businesses are tagging on to this year’s Chelsea Flower Show with an “Under the Sea” theme. Here, oodles of fresh flowers and oodles of admirers.

Pretty in pink, which is the colour of the day at Peggy Porschen Cakes in London. The cake I enjoyed with @kathleen.drum last evening was tasty, and the staff - Yas, Jess and co. - are incredibly patient and kind to all who stop by solely for pics that ultimately promote the brand. This Belgravia location is barely 10 minutes from Sloan Square.

I found the grounds outside Winchester Cathedral so appealing that I spent quite a while there, walking and enjoying the birdsong.

Thanks to @kathleen.drum for a lovely time roaming the streets around Sloan Square and enjoying the Chelsea Flower Show vibe this evening. More pics to follow.
@queenbeeflowershop : Wouldn’t it be interesting to see the @southgranville businesses do something like this?

Through sheer luck, my visit to England’s New Forest coincided nicely with the birth of a number of new foals.

Don’t fly too close to the sun ... “Icarus Rising II”, by Nicola Godden and now on display at Beaulieu

Once is not enough, and so I’ll be back at Beaulieu today to once again inhale the wisteria, hear the bees buzz amid the laburnum, soak in the abbey’s remains ... and visit the palace for the first time. Beaulieu is a treasure, and I appreciate the incorporation of stunning sculptures around the grounds.

My thanks to Paul at @Beaulieu_Hants for insights on the incredible vehicles on display at the National Motor Museum yesterday, and for selling me what will doubtless be the winning ticket for a Mini Cooper convertible. Draw proceeds will benefit the museum’s Trust.
Ever the optimist, I’ll look forward to returning to Beaulieu and collecting the car. In the interim, here are just some of the beautiful cars in the museum.

Ponies in the New Forest! Does the mane in this first pic bring to mind any politician?
