Sunday Selections #641

 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 overseas bloggers care to join us.

The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I occasionally join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look.

going way back into the past:

My very first captures of The Roulettes

back in about 2009 I think, taken with my very first digital camera.

More recently, about 2013 or later:

I had bulbs in my garden before I put the Jades in, these are Ixias,

in varied colours

all beautiful, but tall with flower heads too heavy for the thin stems so they flopped over,

I planted many of them inside the windmill frame hoping it would support them but it didn't.

here we see Mick and Paddy digging for gold but finding coal instead

one of my sleeping gnomes

and the other one, these all now live inside the back porch, there's no point having them in the garden where they can't be seen.

this was Angel, before he got big enough to stretch all the way across the bed.

Genevieve studies the options on the toy piano

Anastasia does the same, they have one each

Genevieve tries singing

While Anastasia can't quite decide, maybe another toy is a better option

and after piano practice:

playtime!
