Bittersweet Cottage garden

on returning a bit of late afternoon slanted sunlight was illuminating these hydrangea heads; it made them look like they were floating in the clear chilly air.

this writhing mass of twisted ivy vines is a trophy from the successful campaign, a few years ago, to free one of our larger oaks from a choking mass of English Ivy.  I think of it as found sculpture, the form and texture of which was enhanced by the quality of the light.
