Sunday Selections #708 How can it be Sunday again already?? Didn't we have Sunday just yesterday?

 

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.

Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally.

This month's calendar page

One of the gum (eucalypt) trees towering over the two storey building next to it.

One of the seven rows of garages here, this is the longest one, the others have fewer garages.

I think these are the same African daisies Andrew showed on his blog yesterday.

A deep red rose with a wonderful scent

one of several stands of lavender swarming with bees

loquats ripening on the trees, the fruit is edible when fully ripe but not worth the trouble, the flesh is meager as the seeds are large and there are three or four of them in each fruit.

this is the tree hive where all the bees live

I made a short video with my phone so you can see the bees buzzing in and out of the hive, hope it plays, but still haven't got the hang of stopping the recording so there's a mishmash of bits at the end.

last week there was a "sausage sizzle" type gathering at the community room, they have them once a month but I don't always go, I took photos but no one was happy about their faces possibly being on the internet, so all you get is this man's lovely purple hair. 

Ana enjoying trying to catch the bubbles, last summer that dress was below her knees,

and Gen also trying to catch them.

on the slide at the local park, it isn't too high, but is much higher than the tiny one they have at home which they have outgrown

Ana takes a turn

They love the slide but don't yet go down on their tummies like they do on the little one at home.

Daylight saving starts here today, I hate it and we have it for six months. 

SIX LONG MONTHS!!
