Hand, rope bridge, and a witches hat thrown in for good measure.

 Clear skies and a full moon was begging for a photo opportunity. 

Suffered massively last night with that knee of mine. Tried all sorts of positions in bed but nothing worked. Had to pill pop again to get some relief. I'm waiting for a date with an orthopaedic consultant. The referral has to go through a physio this time and can no longer come from a doctor. Seems weird to me and still unsure as to why this is but hey ho, such is life. This morning then I felt heavy eyed and so not looking forward to the Heligan Garden visit. More pills taken before setting off and by the time we arrived I was ready for anything.

Those pills were good. 5 hours spent touring the gardens and then going up hill and down dale to find the Jungle trail and Lost Valley and not a twinge or click of the knee at all. No doubt I will suffer again tonight but for now, being pain free is wonderful. What else was incredible was the visit. It may be only March and not so many flowers to be seen yet but all beautifully presented and very well laid out. As usual loads of photos so I'm once again putting a WEB ALBUM together which will also include some of the wildlife. These are just a few of 80 or so taken that I have picked out for here.

Remind you of Moana?

The structure of this piece was made from repurposed steel scaffolding and offcuts of plywood, used hay compressed into second-hand tights to bulk out the frame into a realistic hand shape. With the support of chicken wire and a hessian fabric covering, the hand was finished in wicker, chosen due to its status as an eco-friendly material. (exert from In Natures Hand)

This is a charcoal sculptor bit reminds me of a witches hat.

 

And a selection of the wildlife, the rest are in the web album.
