Dahlia - 'Blue Bell'
Throwing buds everywhere.
Normally I like to keep the off shoots out of it - that's just my way, but in this case it was impossible but additionally, I kind of like it here. This is. anew dahlia for us and it is quite noticeable how much the colour changes according to the light.....well all flowers do, but this one more than most.
Maroon Bells
Pitkin County, Colorado
After a night of torrential rain -- and snow in the higher elevations -- the clouds parted just before noon, revealing stunning views of Maroon Bells with a dusting of snow.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

We never look at the grass, though it is ubiquitous. If it's left alone to shake its hair loose it will produce tiny tassels, miniature and beautiful, that I'd never noticed before. Beauty is so often size and commotion for us, and fancy labels, that the subterfuge of loveliness all around us goes unseen.
― Keith Miller
The bell tower of St. Nicholas Cathedral (known as the flooded bell tower) is a historical and architectural monument on the artificial island of the Uglich reservoir near the town of Kalyazin..The bell tower was built in 1800 under Nikolsky Cathedral (built in 1694) of the former Nikolo-Zhabensky monastery in the style of classicism; had five tiers, a dome with a head and a spire. The bell tower (height 74.5 m) was built in 6 years. It had 12 bells.
By the 1940s, the Volgostroy project was approved, which envisaged the artificial expansion of the Volga River and the creation of hydroelectric power stations in its water area. When the Uglich reservoir was created, the old part of Kalyazin was in the flood zone; the cathedral was demolished, and the bell tower was left as a lighthouse. Immediately, as laden barges began to go along the Volga, it became clear that it was impossible to orient to other signs, since a very sharp turn of the river runs here..On August 18, 2016, 5 new bells were installed on the bell tower; they were cast by special order in the Moscow workshop of Ilya Drozdihin. Now the bell ringing accompanies each service.
Currently, the flooded bell tower is the main symbol of Kalyazin and attracts many tourists. In the summer, regular prayers are held near the bell tower.
While Calibrachoa million bells may be a fairly new species, this dazzling little plant is a must-have in the garden. Its name comes from the fact that it features hundreds of small, bell-like flowers that resemble miniature petunias. Its trailing habit makes it perfect for use in hanging baskets, containers or as a small area ground cover. (from gardeningknowhow,com)

The bell tower is part of the Virgin Mary Church on the main street of Megalochori on the island of Santorini.
The bell pepper is the fruit of plants in the Grossum cultivar group of the species Capsicum annuum. Cultivars of the plant produce fruits in different colours, including red, yellow, orange, green, white, and purple. Bell peppers are sometimes grouped with less pungent pepper varieties as "sweet peppers".
This superb massif of roses was too tempting, especially with the beautiful Provencal bell tower in the background!

I've had this little bell in my night stand drawer for as long as I can remember. I bought it at an antique store for a couple of bucks. The surface remains untouched and I've never cleaned it. It measures 1 5/8 in. tall by 1 1/2 in. wide.

"Ring, ring the bells
wake the town
everyone is sleeping
shout at the crowd
wake them up
this anger is deeper than sleep
Got to keep awake to what is happen
I can't see a thing through my ambition
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I new longer feel my God is watching
Break, break the code
Concentrate,
let the door swing open
See, through all my walls
All my floors, now I'm in deeper than sleep
When you let me fly,
grew my own wings,
now I'm tall as the sky
When you let my drown
grew gills and fins
Now I am as deep as the sea
When, you let my die,
my spirits free
There's nothing challenging me"

They can also be used as candle sticks if standing on the bell part.

This bell is my dog's belongings, a charm that she always wear on her collar.
When I took it off from her collar to take a picture of it, she was angry, "It's mine!!!"

I joined a Facebook group of local photographers recently and saw a post about a nearby gardens, Highdown Gardens in Worthing.
I've been living here for more than 20 years and had never heard of it, but what a gem of a place it was!
A series of small, perfectly kept gardens with gorgeous plants, a little pond with dragonflies and damselflies and the happy buzz of people from the town relaxing with picnics on a Sunday. I'm sure I'll be back soon :)
The have created a lovely spot to get an overview of the fountain and grounds at Bell Fountain but also included this great wolf statue.

Yesterday afternoon I went out into the garden to look for Fynn because a big thunderstorm was approaching and I didn't want him to stay outdoors. Fynn wouldn't come in on his own as he loves thunderstorms. I found him in the bell flowers where he took a nap. It was already bginning to rain but of course I had to take a few photos before I picked Fynn up and carried him indoors where he continued his nap on the sofa.
