I like Thankful Thursday

I like my violas. Worth the pain of planting them around Holloween. In April, I showed what they had looked like all winter.

Here is what they look like now.

And next to them, the holly bushes.

I was delighted with the little flowers!

There should be plenty of berries, if the birds let them go red.

I like noticing Architecture and Design
I don't go into town very often, but a few weeks ago I did when I went for an eye exam. I noticed some of the improvements to that part of town which helps it to blend in a bit with the new regenerated town centre.

Looking up near Specsavers. They are quite high, so I don't think many people see the circles.

Along the ceiling on the lower part.

I like the way it meanders, even to the point of having very small light tubes matched with large ones to keep the look.

Looking along the street from the sky walk. I like the repetition of the banner/signs on the building contrasted with the repetition of the trees down the grass verge.
oops! forgot the photo!


And looking down to the landscaping, I spotted a plant which we have next to the front door.
Mahonia

Ours has been growing very slowly, but this is a good example of what size it could get to! We will have to keep it in hand.
