Sunday Selections

it's been a while and I still haven't found most of the photos I've been wanting to post, but here are a few:

for Joanne:

this is the "Dollop" Cream I mentioned in one of her comment pages, it's also gluten free

this is how firmly it holds its shape on the spoon, just scoop and dollop onto whatever you've made that requires cream as a finishing touch.

for Val:

concrete ladybugs on a concrete boot, they need a coat of paint after several years in the sun. These are in a yard a couple of blocks away where there are many such surprises behind the fence.

For messymimi:

a pretty gate to join in with Gosia's Good Fences meme

this glorious burst of colour caught my eye the first time I walked up this particular street, so of course I took the camera next time. They are dwarf or French marigolds,

in amongst the oranges

and the yellows,

there are orange/reds,

yellow/reds,

and red/burnt orange colours.

I remember when I had several pots of these in my garden about five or six years ago now, I saved the seeds and maybe it's time I threw them all in where the empty spaces now are.

Last, but definitely not least: for Lee and Elephant's Child:

Lola enjoying a rare sunbeam on the bedroom floor, as well as the heater, you can just make out the very faint orange glow from the heater on the left there.
