Whilst walking around our garden lately
taking some images of our beautiful Spring garden
I realized just how many shades of grey I could see.
In fact our whole house is constructed of corrigated grey
iron cladding to begin with.
There are several gentle slopes with timber steps that
have changed to a lighter shade of grey with age.
Beautiful grey timbers used as fence posts and railings
with grey wire attached next to a grey wire gate
to fence in our precious goat beauties and, of course,
the large number of trees displaying their beautiful natural
colours.
Ornamental grasses have been planted in and out of
rocks and stones.
♥♥♥
Constant daily visitors like these Grey Shrike Thrushes
perch daily on the kitchen window sill,
especially when feeding their young, as is the
present case
to beg a treat or two!
I'm hoping to share images of our Spring garden soon
including our magnificent display of roses.
I'm linking this post to Michelle

Thank you dear friends always for your kind visits
and comments especially on my previous posts.
I so appreciate you all!!!
Have a great weekend and up coming week!

Hello Suzy,
ReplyDeleteYour grey post is lovely. Grey is one of my favorite colors. It never used to be, but it has really grown on me. Your grey images look so fab, especially your little goat! I love goats! Your visitor at the window is beautiful too, you got a really good image of him (or her?).
Do you name your goats? I noticed the tag number was 75...do you really have at least 75 goats???
lol!
I love seeing where you live. I am looking forward to pictures of your roses.
Hugs to you,
Terri
Don't you just love all those shades of grey...to me it is such a lovely and soothing color...hope you are having a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteHello Dear Suzi
ReplyDeletei don't love specially grey, for me it's a sad color associated with black and death!
I have weared so much black, that I can't anymore.
But in grey, there's a little part of white, light is comming back, and then , all roses in your garden will put many parts of colors and life will be full of light back!
Hugs and kisses
Dear Suzy, thanks so much for letting us share in the beauty of your Spring garden. Grey is not often a colour we associate with Spring, but the subtlety of all the different , muted shades you have managed to capture here just breathe sheer beauty! The tranquillity and peacefulness of it all took me right to my happy place, - thank you!!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzy! You have certainly made a beautiful case for grey. I'm even looking forward to the next grey, rainy day now! Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden. I love that goat! XO Sue
ReplyDeleteLoving all your gray photos. Your sweet goat won my heart as did the perched Thrush.
ReplyDeleteWarmest Regards,

Dearest Suzy,- you really have an amazing nature garden, and all the grey elements looks wonderful, including your sweet goat,- and the fantastic weathered steps- how very beautiful it looks all over now, and the flowering roses must be so stunning, sweet friend.

It is such a delight to hear someone talking about the anticipation of Spring as we spiral into the gloomy, all gray, season here in the Pacific Northwest. I am looking forward to your roses.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful textures as well as beautiful greys. And what a lovely goat.
ReplyDeleteHi Suzi! Grey is not my favorite, as it seems so cool, and I like warmth, but I do love the color combination of gray with the all the shades of greens, and when we see your pinks it will be incredible! Oh the roses! Your goat is precious, I would love to see more. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property, and your bird friend too! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi sweetie, what a most beautiful garden you have. Can't wait to see your Spring flowers! Great photo of that beautiful bird...
ReplyDeleteBig hugs to you, take care
Suzy,

Betsy
Beautiful greys...Love your garden & the little goats look so cute...The bird at the window is so beautiful....Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post Suzy. I dislike the grey cold November days before Christmas. My friend and I used to suffer from what we called the November wobbles. Having said that, today has been the most beautiful day with a blue sky and a frost so crisp the garden was a picture. You take some gorgeous images Suzy, the shades of grey are stunning....
ReplyDeleteWow, your greys are lovely there. The goat is so cute and I love the bird begging at the window. They must be trained and know where the food is kept. Your have a beautiful place, thanks for sharing. Have a happy week ahead!
ReplyDeletei love the color grey -- everything goes with it! beautiful post, Suzy.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to be in the Spring season and how beautiful everything looks...even that handsome goat! Enjoy your week! I always love your blog and beautiful creations! Hugs!

Die Bilder sind wieder so bezaubernd und anrührend, dass ich mich jetzt schon über den Frühling bei dir freue.
ReplyDeleteWir gehen grade mit großen Schritten vom Herbst auf den Winter zu.
Es wird jeden Tag länger dunkel, trübe und kühl.
Da ist es schön in der Stube bei Kerzenschein einen guten Tee zu trinken.
Ich werde "deinen" Frühling weiter verfolgen und freue mich auf neue Fotos.
Umarmung und alles Liebe von Sophie xx
A friend and I were in a clothing store this morning and were commenting about how much we liked grey - and I come home to read your post. Perfect timing!
ReplyDeleteSeeing your garden and goat and bird and realizing you are entering Spring really sings to me. I love all the shades of grey you have. I have loved grey since I was very young which I know is not common. When your roses bloom your grey backdrop will really make the roses "Spring forth". Lovely photos dear...
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the subtle beauty of all of the greys you have shared with us. Your photos are wonderful.

Late as usual, but I did want to thank you for sharing the beautiful pics of your garden and all of your beautiful grays... what a tranquil setting.
ReplyDeleteI love your goats! The one who allowed you to sneak up on him for a close-up looks as if he is smiling!: )
And the thrush is adorable, waiting so expectantly at the window sill... so precious. You captured his (her?) grays and tans so perfectly--I feel as if I'm looking at him through my own window.
Thank you again, dear Suzy, for sharing all of this beauty. xoxo
