Where You Work - Thematic Photography

As I have retired 'Where You Work' is not an easy theme for me.

I guess I shall have to say that it's gardening that takes my time.

Foxglove
This is the type of gardening I like - just put in one  and let the plants do all the work.

Wheelbarrow (against the compost bin) with the tool store on the right.
Climbing rose on the fence
I've just noticed that the camera must  not have been held correctly as the birdbath is definitely not on the skew.

Lupins with the one alium at the front.
In the front garden there's a second lawn to cut as well as bushes to keep in shape - a gardener's work is never done.


So why am I not out there working hard. Well it's a wet day again.

However some of my assistants work no matter what the weather.

Jenny Wren
She's hard at it while I'm checking out 'where you work' by following the links at Carmi's Thematic-photographic-346.

Where you work - Thematic Photography

Not an easy theme when you have retired. If I said where I work is in the house, this might be challenged. Anything I do at my computer is classed as 'playing.'

I guess that where I work must therefore be restricted to outside in the garden - quite a pleasant occupation at this time of year when it is sunny and warm. So here's some shots from today.

With one or the other and often all three the 'day's work' starts here.

Wheelbarrow, (hidden tool store) and garden shed
In  the front garden - 

The green waste bag awaits
and waits along with - 

A fork
It must have been warm for that coat to have been discarded. Perhaps I was waiting for my female assistant.

Mrs Blackbird
It's a good thing that she will work for the minimum wage of a worm or two with this lot to tackle.

Shrubs to trim and snowdrop leaves and weeds to remove.
Can you see that flowering dandelion?

Of course there's the lawn to cut

And sycamore seedlings to take out of the gravel
You might think that this is not much of a task but the sycamore count has passed 170 in the last week. There will be more tomorrow.

Then of course where I work will move to the back,

Back lawn
If you are eagle-eyed you might just see the toe of the lady of the house who is lapping up the sun.

All this is a world away from where Carmi works at Thematic-photographic-334.
