More pictures, these ones taken this weekend. A green green green Green hedge features (I think I got the right number of greens in there), some flowers, and my double-ended clothes pegs (by request).


Green green green greenness
This hedge, just down the road from us, is owned by a friend called Richard Green, and besides being a fairly well-known opera singer, he's a member of the Green Party whose serif font he has copied here.


Inspired by kerravonsen's flower pictures, I decided to take some too. These three are from the hedges of the three houses between my place and the corner.


The same type as the budding one. I'm hopeless with flower names.


A hibiscus--yes, one I know the name of!


Pegs for azdak who wondered about the double-ended ones in the basket with Claudia in my previous post. The purple one shows it best: both ends can be used to pin washing up so it doesn't matter which way you're holding them. :-)

Wow, that's a lot of green! And I don't know why, but there's something faintly disturbing about those clothespins... :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

But they're bright and colourful and cute!

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

They're Escher clothespins! How cool.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Indeed! :-D

That hedge is amazing!

The pretty flowers are pelargoniums.

Spring is such a lovely time of year.

Well, it would be if not for the gale. :-P

I see. I was wondering why someone would have a hedge with Green on it. Just having it because your last name is green seemed a bit ostentatious. But an opera-singer...no wonder ;)

Nice flower pics. Cool double-ended pegs.

Plus he's in the Green Party! Before we knew him, I thought it just referred to the colour of the hedge. :-)

Ah, I see, they're at 90 degree angles...

Incorporating the correct font into hedge-clipping is very impressive.

Yep! I decided explaining them was much harder than just taking a picture.

It is! :-D

The pic was a brilliant idea - I always feel rather like the Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat when people try to explain shapes to me (it's one reason why I can't sew) - I hear what they're saying, but I can't visualise it at all. And they're really cool pegs. Great colours as well as very practical.

You're an Oliver Sacks example? ;-) I'm pretty good with shapes, being very visual, but it's so much easier to use a diagram or picture in cases like this.

You're an Oliver Sacks example? ;-)

I am. In fact, I'm several. Like a hypochondriac going through a medical dictionary, I keep recognising myself in his patients :-)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

That's... a worry. :-P

love the GREEN

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I've always loved it, but finding out the multiple levels of greenness made it even cooler. :-)

Hmmm, niiiice...it is over here, full autumn even with some wet snow. It came out of the blue, my garden is untidy, nothing GREEN like this. I suffer...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Ah but you get snow! That's so much nicer than months of rain. :-)
