Thought I'd end 2007 with a bit of colour & a few odd perspectives from around the garden on yet another sunny, cloud-free day.

At this moment it's a touch over 40 degrees centigrade (104 fahrenheit) outside , so it's worth staying indoors & blogging. The rest of the week is forecast in the mid thirties, so NYE could be a sweaty affair & of course in extreme heat, the fireworks become a fire hazard, get banned & the night becomes a massive let down! Doesn't that sound like most NYE celebrations!?!







The wasp above has this little nest precariously attached to a plant a metre or so from my computer, just outside the window. I've been watching the construction progress & she doesn't mind me taking photos up nice & close. All those cells are now filled in & she has left them to their own devices for the time being.





That last shot is one of my favourites for the moment. It's just a snap taken without any effort & the colour just seems to jump out, into the blue sky backdrop. To me, it looks like a hot day, but refreshing at the same time!

I think there's a few more shots on flickr to browse, so just click any of these to go there. The full size versions are there too.

So, here's to the end of "two double 'oh seven". It's been an interesting year personally, but with a bit of luck, '08 is setting up to herald some major changes, which will end up being reported in some form or another here. To everyone out there in the land of blog, Happy New Year & see you on the flip side!
