Wishing everyone happy holidays and all the best for 2015!

We will be away in a few days time to celebrate Christmas in England with my father-in-law. As we are flying, our computers will be staying at home; only the Nexus will be with us for emails, and maybe the odd single photo on the photodiary.  I find  that blogging on this tablet is beyond me, so I will resume early in the New Year!

I have reviewed my diary photos for 2014 and picked a favourite for each month, for this post.  All photos, except a couple which are taken nearby, were taken in our garden.

Photos around the garden or close by.

I have blogger's block AGAIN, mainly due to the rubbish weather we have been having for weeks and weeks!  We have no desire to go out unless necessary, which has therefore restricted our travels! So here are some favourite photos which have featured on my photodiary over the past month, in no particular order.  Certainly many signs of Spring are around, but it has yet to feel like it!!

Cowslips are everywhere

My kitchen orchids have been flowering for ages!

Great tit enjoying a sunflower seed.

Dandelion "clock"

Hyacinth

No, I got here first!

Greenfinch

This looks like a good place for a rest!

and another greenfinch

Now what do you think is going on over there?

An elusive sparrow; they seem to vanish the moment the camera appears.

Landscape on a daylight moon.

Forsythia

Flowering cherry

Chaffinch

Goldfinch

Mirabelle plum flowers have just opened.

The only warm day we seem to have had so far woke up a few of our common lizards.

Loved this rainbow!!

If only I could paint this; perhaps I should try!
