No dog walkies...

I can't walk my dog far for a little while as the poor old boy has a sprained knee.

So to remind me of the nice walks we will get back to by the end of the week or thereabouts, here are two I took earlier..

Aww, I just love that purple tree.

It's a Wisteria. It smells lovely, too.

Great photos
The colours are so vibrant on the Wisteria. It's so pretty.

Nice pictures. How did your dog sprain it's knee?

I didn't actually see it happen, so this is an educated guess, based on previous experience. Most likely he went to jump up on my bed, found the hell-spawn 3 legged Siamese cat Nelson was already up there, twisted to avoid him (landing on him would be not be recommended), and fell off the bed, landing badly this time.

Trojie is no grass, and hellbeastpuss wouldn't dream of owning up, so no charges can be brought.

Lilac? Never knew the English name for that plant - lots of them where I live, now they are all blooming

Lilac is fairly fast growing bush or tree, smells lovely and quite strong.

Wisteria as above, is a climbing plant that takes a long time to get like the one above. It smells lovely also but is more subtle.

I want to have a Wisteria tree in my garden someday! Or lilacs will do too!

Lilacs seem pretty much to grow like a weed (around here anyway) but I am not sure how easy Wisteria is. There is a house not far away which has the most amazing Wisteria trained all around the fence and across the front of the house - I would photograph it but the weather here is atrocious right now - wind, rain, more rain, more wind.....

I hope your dog recovers soon Jag!
