Our list of words for this month, weren't necessarily tough, but the weather has not been conducive for getting out much, even with it being summer. Had to do quite a bit of searching through the archives & photo bombing inside.😖 I've also come up with a few doubles & a little bottom heavy(lol), you'll see what I mean as you scroll down!!
So here goes.....
1. HEART/S.
Can you see the heart shapes indented into this rock? I took the photo at Smith's Beach on Phillip Island some years ago. I often wonder how rocks get to look as they do with etchings or bands of beautiful colour. Our world is so fascinating!😖
2. REPAIR.
I thought of many things for this word & then DH got involved & suggested repairs to our lovely MM which has happened many times over the years since we got her in 1991. In August 2015, it was decided her timber tray back needed replacing & I happened to take a few photos of the progress. Looking through the folder of photos, DH spotted this one & said, ooh, that one is good.
After the next photo, you'll know why I underlined a certain word.😊
3. TAIL.
I took this photo at Melbourne Zoo a few years ago when we went with DD, Master L & Missy Moo. I was looking at the peacock, camera in hand & he suddenly opened his tail & stood looking at me as though waiting for me to take his photo. I obliged.
Next as I was looking at other photos, I realised that so many people are fascinated by our local wildlife, that I'd pop on this one too, to feature the size & strength of a kangaroo's tail. Er!! That underlined word has just made another appearance in this photo & I wasn't going to use it, but DH thought the coincidence was funny & everyone may get a good laugh. Certainly need to smile with so much in amongst all the bad news this year seems to be inflicting on this huge rotating orb.
4. KEY.
Me being silly once again. I thought of so many for this one & failed to get out to find a few I'd thought of. Hence a photo was needed of something & as the last few days have been quite dark, dreary & wet, I needed to put my thinking cap on. Here we have piano keys, a timber key rack & an old style key on a big ring made at Sovereign Hill (based on a gold mining town) in Ballarat. And why the monkey? Monkey ends with "key"....ha ha! This one with it's rather flat tail, was eldest son
A's, when he was little & he chewed that tail.
5. KNOT.
I had this one in mind for heart, but when I couldn't find my old Macrame Knot plant hanger, I changed my mind and chose my Colonial Knot embroidery of a heart. Again I took this photo yesterday & the light just didn't do anything justice.
6. MY OWN CHOICE.
Can I have 2 again?
A dream space for a sewing studio.......yes?
This garden room is at Harlow Carr, the RHS garden in Harrogate, North Yorkshire where they hold talk, lectures etc. and I think it is gorgeous. Or you could be viewing this from it's windows...........
Aren't you ever so cute Mr. Caterpillar?
Also photographed at Harlow Carr last year in August. I really must catch up on some posts about our trip, as I've lots of lovely photos.
OK, that's my lot of being a bit wacky this time. Hopefully there will be lots of giggles.
Thanks Kate for supplying the words & now I'm off to link up.
Take care all & huggles.
Susan.
