July 2020 Picture of the Month

In the entire month of June I took just two photographs – this is one of them – and as lockdown continues, I haven't ventured beyond the front gate in several weeks. Really odd for a photographer who usually doesn't let many good days pass without visiting new places and adding to the picture library. The hollyhocks were planted as seeds a few years ago, and there is clearly something in the soil that they really like. They are already 8 feet tall, but still have some way to go to pass 10 feet as one of them did last year!
