Photo Hunt #81 + Plotting for a Food Garden week 30

Photo Hunt BLACK,
and white and some red, and green, pink, orange etc.

Damp plot due to a little (and only a little) of that wet stuff called rain.
Really just some drizzle!

Egg plant getting bigger.
There is a Great Gardens Workshop at Two Rocks next Friday.

SkyWatch Friday Season 4 Episode 42

Taking it easy after the last few days. Sun still shining.

The Wednesday Whatsit

Distorted in Perth.

Mellow Yellow Monday #66

Anyone hungry?

Check out the photos on Mellow Yellow Monday

The Hidden Realm

Still here!!

OK - so I must be addicted to blogging, where else am I going to show off my photos! Besides Hey Harriet has Shadow Shot Sunday #101 so here is the gum tree out the back.

In other news: A MAN has died and two others are in hospital after a boating tragedy off Two Rocks, north of Perth, this afternoon.
I saw the chopper go over Yanchep on the way to Two Rocks. Read more at Perth News

Books: 'Morgans Run' was such an engrossing read, didn't want it to end. Do hope Colleen McCullough continues with the family story - she says she will. Just picked up 'Vanishing Acts' by Jodi Picoult for 20cents so that's next.

Plotting for a Food Garden week 29 + Photo Hunt

Another bloody pathetic & boring photo of my square plot, in fact I've decided my blog is the same. So I may just give it a rest for a while, (after today).

PhotoHunt

The Saturday Photo Hunt theme is Addiction

Wikipedia "An addiction is a persistent behavioral pattern marked by physical and/or psychological dependency and tolerance that causes significant disruption and negatively impacts the quality of life of an organism." "Addictions are frequently linked to substance abuse, particularly psychoactive drugs such as narcotics, stimulants, and sedatives among others. It is common in coloquial English usage to extend the use of the term "addiction" to also encompass apparent compulsive behavior and passionate dedication to activities (such as hobbies) by analogy.

Unless I count the drugs obtained from my Doctor I have never been 'disrupted' by any stimulants. Whereas a 'passionate dedication to activities such as hobbies' I can admit to (as most of my friends would agree)! One of them being the collection of postcards.

Stamp P/Cs blu-tacked to the toilet door.

Shoe P/Cs blu-tacked to another door.
And hundreds in drawers...........

So I stopped.
I have other hobbies, such as family history, gardening, reading etc but I'm not going to bore you any more. Over & out!

SkyWatch Friday Season 4 Episode 41

Is it an Ocean Liner, a Flash Hotel? No just a Railway Station somewhere near me.
There are many Sky Watchers all over the globe, go look here.

True Colours Thursday - PRIMROSE

Primrose!!

Can't believe it's Thursday again & time to join in True Colours This is the best I could come up with, just not a colour I have much of.

The Wednesday Whatsit

Scene around Perth.

Today's Flowers #89

Still doing blooming well!!

Mellow Yellow Monday #65

A different kind of time/thyme share. Months ago a friend split a punnet of thyme with me. Mine grew, hers didn't so she has asked me to give her some back! Mine is growing so well I was able to pot up 3 in little yellow punnets & still have masses left.

Don't forget to visit MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY here.

Talking 'bout Books & Shadow Shot Sunday

A slight breeze was wafting over this shadow of seeding Garlic Chives. I have now cut all the heads off & put them in a paper bag to dry off. There are some wonderful shots of shadows here. Thanks Harriet.


Still reading 'Morgans Run' & what an engrossing novel it is. Highly recommended for depicting 'The First Fleet - the criminal, the unloved & the unwanted of English Society'.

Such a glorious day that I am debating whether to go for a swim or not. 29deg, blue skies & last day of the school holidays so it could be crowded.

3pm - 32 deg - come on in, the water is like Champagne.

Plotting for a Food Garden week 28 + Photo Hunt

My Egg Plant is flowering! I have been told to 'pinch back new blossoms about three weeks before the first expected frost'. No way will I do this, I want to see what happens - anyway we don't get frost here (says she crossing fingers).

The flowers are covered by the leaves so this lets me join in for the first time to

Photo Hunter whose theme #209 this week is 'covered' .

SkyWatch Friday Season 4 Episode 40

Just another perfect day at Yanchep Lagoon.

Some amazing photos at SkyWatch.

Before I put away all summer items TURQUOISE and change my decor to winter RED.

The Wednesday Whatsit

Tea bag swap .......... organized by Artfully Ooglebloops

I sent (no, not the cutting blades!) Tea bags, Postcards & Labels etc.

I received Tea bags, a cute little T bag wallet & lots of 'truvia ' sweetener.
From Apron Strings in USA.

I have never seen these teas before, they will be interesting to taste!

Today's Flowers #88

All wrapped up, $10 bunch

why do they put $9.99 when we don't have any one cent coins anymore!

Lots more Flowers from Today here.

The old man is snoring - what a pretty pattern.

Mellow Yellow Monday #64

Bright YELLOW lockers at the rail station.

The dry has broken, a little bit of rain, just enough to dampen the seeds of Chinese Broccoli thrown in the plot this morning.

Yesterday was warm, last swim at 2pm, washing all dry, back for a cuppa & a read - nice.

Mellow Yellow Monday .

Today - full of hay (?) fever, again. Not nice.
