Sunday Selections # 752

Image
 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Possibly Elephant's Child won't be with us this week.

Wednesday's Words on a Friday

  The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles.

Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. **not sure if Elephant's Child will be joining us, she has a lot on her plate right now** my kindle has a few different images that appear when it shuts down, this is one of my favourites, this is another. Other pages have birds, fish and some very old authors. I was very surprised to see speckled eggs when I bought this dozen, it's been over a decade since I saw any, usually they are just plain shells. on the floor in front of th...

Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. * Elephant's Child may or may not be participating Beginning today with a photo from "no-one" a cheeky "Galah", one of our cockatoo family, these are quite large birds only a little smaller than the sulphur crested cockatoos and used to be often kept as pets in large cages. My mother had several, along with the sulphur crested ones, in ginormous cages with plenty of room for them to fly. They can be taught to talk and...
