In the back, back garden


We were in the back garden where the landscaping is how nature has constructed it. The house side of the creek, where the photo was taken, is rather steep; however the other side, in the photo, has a semi-level section which is where I would like to create a garden room. The down side is that it will require a lot of work because there is lots of scrub which will need to be removed. I would also consider fencing the area so that our terrier can roam somewhat freely without running off.




The creek.
A torrent in the heavy rain,
A trickle through the winter, and
A dry bed in the summer.






Violet


I had to try the violet powdered food colouring.

Guinness Cake Macarons



With a few tweeks and a bit more practice these will soon become my signature macarons.
