Before I start how many of you are becoming frustrated with this new blogger. I have been trying to updates some old blogs on my Rural Explorations and find the photos and commentary I write go where they want. You cannot place a portrait photo side by side in large format any more. If you place a photo to one side with commentary on the other it either does not let you or has to go under the photo. Now a new blog I was starting to write just vanished when I clicked the back button. I'm at the stage of just throwing it in and finding another format to use. Why the developers could not leave it as it was I cannot understand, do they do not understand if it is not broke don't fix it.
Back to something more pleasant things.
While we are now three weeks into a four week lockdown here in England and have been wondering what to write but then looked in the garden for inspiration and there it was straining me in the face. So off I went with my iPhone and got some pictures.
It all looks quite grim on the patio with everything dormant or is it
The magnolia has fluffy buds on it
This Saliva still has flowers and leaves growing on it
This rose has buds crowing new branches on
The clematis was only planted this year and is growing well
It has even got buds growing
There is even a rose growing still in one of the pots
That's all Taking Part in My Little Corner of the World Our World Tuesday and Imag-in-ing, you can find all the links in the right hand column Take care everyone
I'm not getting frustrated with your blogging - I enjoy what you share. And all bloggers everywhere face a learning curve especially with new platforms. That's why I've stuck with the one I learned first. This old dog doesn't much WANT to learn new blogging tricks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2020/11/sleepy-head.html
I do enjoy blogging I just do not understand whey it had to change for the worse trouble is you cannot change back
DeleteThe rose is lovely!! (I'm still having problems with the formatting of photos on the new blogger...it's a pain)
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised about the rose still blooming
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI am not happy with the new blogger format, the old version was fine. Your garden looks tidy, I like the birdhouse and garden art. The rose is lovely. Take care, enjoy your day! Have a great new week!
The birdhouses were fun to paint
DeleteI agree that there was nothing wrong with the old format. Interesting to see your garden getting ready for the winter.
ReplyDeleteBeen getting that way for a while but odd there are bugs already
DeleteLovely garden shots.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteI treat the new blogger like the young men with autism I used to look after: accept what they're willing to do and work within those parameters, and just try to smile and stay calm! I noticed several roses still flowering when I went out yesterday, though after a sharp frost I'm not sure how long they'll survive.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should try and see how it works better for me. I think a few things will die off after a hard frost
DeleteYour garden still looks lovely. We've had a few frosty below-freezing mornings here, so most of our garden is quite dormant.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get blogger to work in the way you want it to. I'm still a bit frustrated with it as well. If you do go to a different platform, keep us posted here, so we can find you.
We have had a couple of frosts when I noticed the thermometer was below zero. I'm working my way around the problem at the moment on some older blogs.
DeleteI like your patio garden with buds even though you have had frosts. We don't get frosts in my part of South Australia. It has been hot here for a few days almost 40C today, everything is starting to shrivel up it is so hot.
ReplyDeleteIt pays to look closely! What lovely little signs of life!
ReplyDeleteMy blog layout is very simple so I don't have any advice, sorry :(
What a fantastic addition to 'My Corner of the World' this week!
