Art Captured The Eye Today
Well it has been some time since I visited our local nursery for a morning iced coffee and chat, it was sweltering hot sipping cold was good!
Tired of running into conventional shops (which I honestly find boring), prices steeply rising one tends to concentrate purely on cost and getting out being under a mask!
Today was different, no shopping just looking enjoying a little of an outing, come see how much has changed while covid has been happening....
Roof is no longer just a roof, now covered with solar panels to avoid the power outages that are becoming more frequent, bet the owners spent some time finding a good price, no longer 'cheap' to invest into, better than relying on local electricity supply!
Neat rows of outdoor plants, a small section on offer that celebrate the harsh sunlight hours waiting to sold into private gardens.
Art captured my eye today with a very charming coffee table of sun and moon looking gracefully back at you, separate forces of natural world that affect our emotions daily.
A little Herbie '53 driving out of the frame, wonder if that was the model year a retro little VW Beetle 1953. What a car I think every person over fifty-five today either owned one or has driven in one somewhere, sometime!
Indoor plants or plants that prefer shade showcased in their own pavilion, sub-tropical offers so many options to plant with colour in leaves or flowers.
Many are turning back to indigenous it is evident when shopping at local nursery they support only local plants to assist region preserving biodiversity.
Outdoor flowering enjoy morning sunlight capturing ones heart as you walk past with little yellow tongue sticking out for you to notice the absolute beauty #alwaysaflower for Denise.
Walking via Bonsai section for those who enjoy making miniature out of big, yes that too is a lovely hobby!
Exiting with sunflowers steering you on your way, take note of Weed Food notice above LOL, this plant grows exceptionally well down here, no hot-house requirements nor TLC they just grow! Mind out for Mr. Plod he may not like you as much as you thought!
Wheeling you away, your chariot awaits, a miniature red Herbie parked outside to take you away, reminded me of Noddy when we were young. Was Enid Blyton not fabulous with childrens stories, Noddy's car was cheerful in sunflower yellow with pillar-box red bumpers.
And so we come to the end of this Market Friday with @dswigle hosting the show, yes you pay wherever you go, choose wisely you can see a lot along the way. Happy Friday!
All recent photography my own using Canon Powershot SX730 HS camera. Any queries or requests please drop a comment below or make contact with me, have a wonderful day!

That is all for today folks, chilling out with some much needed rain outdoors, birds are singing and no I didn't buy anything on our visit, it was purely to visit the small market enjoying sights and sounds.
