The Ivy Leaf





After a storm  -  tyre tracks and a single ivy leaf on the beach.







Ivy, reaching for the sky.







Ivy flowers and berries.












Back on the beach, we meet a lady called Petal, furiously digging a hole.
In her lilac party bow she looks rather overdressed for the job!

A passer-by thinks she may have unearthed something interesting.





Thank you for visiting

    Such beautiful and fun images! What impresses me most, perhaps, is the light, there's so much of it and it makes me think of summer. Wonderful photos! :)
    Have a lovely weekend!

    She looks like she is digging for truffles, or at least something very tasty. I guess that's where my mind goes, lol! Great photos Ruby! Thank you for sharing with Today's Flowers and I wish you a very happy weekend :)

    Such lovely clicks of everyday life.... our surroundings have so much beauty if we notice...and that bow is definitely overdressing for the job

    She seems overdressed for digging a hole- wonder what she has sniffed out! Nice captures!

    That girl really shouldn't wear her best bow for a dirty job ;)). Your beach still life (first picture) is so nice! The tides do such amazing things!

    Lovely photographs.
    I'm sure your dog would feel very under dressed without her beautiful bow. She is most certainly having fun :)

    Everything looks so springlike! In the middle of February!
    It must be the light in your eyes :-)
    And the party mood of Petal of course ...

    Hello!:) Your ivy captures are very pretty, I have often admired their flowers and berries, and you did a really great job of showing their beauty. I also like the first shot of the single leaf amongst the seaweed, and your cute doggie photos.:)

    Dear Ruby - It doesn’t look wintry but like spring. I like any ivy shots and thanks for the lovely ivy flowers which I saw for the first time. The dogs are so cute. Hello, let me see you face, Petal!

    Hello, I thought I'd stop by and comment on your lovely photos. Ivy flowers are precious here because my bees love them. The butterflies, too. Your digging dogs made me smile!

    so lovely to see your green ivy at a time of year where green leaves are rare except on our evergreen trees. I hope this finds you well and enjoying the end of winter.
