Walk Before the Storm

Had my usual Sunday walk with my friend Steven and the dogs this morning before the Storm hit. This afternoon brought heavy rain and a little flooding around the garden.

The walk was in Redburn Country Park in Belfast overlooking the harbour.

Dry River, never seen this here before!

Cleggs! Killed about 6 of the buggers!

Lots of tree damage for some reason.

Blue Star Juniper

Salvaged this one from my front garden a few years back. Only one branch at the top was alive and it had a live vein that was only 2mm wide at one point.

It has a bit to go before it looks like much but I have enjoyed watching it pull though 🙂

Rose Show

Setting bonsai aside, I do like getting long to the Rose Show in Belfast each year. The rose gardens are amazing and it’s a really nice family atmosphere. I didn’t get to take many photos this year as I was late getting there to collect my trees from the exhibition. Here are a few of what I did manage to take.
