bamboo

A few days ago, before winter returned (!), I sat in the garden with a cup of coffee and sketched the bamboo. I'm not sure what type of bamboo it is but mine grows in a pot and at this time of year the colour of the leaves ranges from golden brown to palest green and it has tiny red fruits.


Painted with my lovely M. Graham watercolours (one of the ingredients is honey so I may try them on toast later :-)

first flowers

I took my camera into the garden this afternoon




             

Look who came visiting while I was photographing the foxglove!
