Imagine living here on the riverbank Cormorant and sand pipers Mickey discovering a small snail on the bush Browsing in the garden Boo trying to look innocent!! The repotted palms and hoya The palms have been pruned of their dead bits Boo really likes this detritus from the old pots Mickey repotting the other plant He's really good at it Boo was watching Mickey all the time New pink lilies about to open A dragonfly came to visit The Japanese anemone is growing against the pittos… The montbretia is still flowering beautifully Anemone among the pittosporum Anemone Delicate pink Boo keeping a watch The lovely anemone My variegated Silene Sweetpeas have managed to flower Some wild flowers from last year have come back Mickey spotted an egret Part of the river Taw Poor little flower hanging on for dear life Mud and more mud.... Small cormorant and some sand pipers Small marina Heanton Court Beach - surely not? Tide is right out Wreck Petunias and fuchsias - always great together Flowers on the quay Bideford flower displays on the quayside Beautiful flowers on the quayside Appledore Shipyards in the distance Top of the Council building Speckled pigeon looking for food Looking towards the new bridge Tide was going out Old Bideford Bridge...... The beach was quite empty for August Instow reasonably quiet for August
