Bits of orange and red

Fresh from Keukenhof gardens and more to come. It was my first time visiting this park and I went into a little photographic frenzy, crawling all over flower beds and shooting from every angle, for it's a florist's version of Eden, zillions of bulb flowers, incredible orchids and roses with the longest stems I ever saw.

My first teapot!

And the result. Where did all that white go?

Last year's quince meets this year's flowers.

Images of my new year

For my winter break I had lots of mountains. For starters the very snow laden Alpes, a bit of Pyrenees viewen from above and for dessert lovely sunshine in the mountains of Valencia, Spain. So that's why my latest pottery looks like this. Very lemonny.
