Sunday Selections # 710

 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.

Theme for today is "Raindrops on Roses"

but first:

King Charles is beginning to appear on our coins

Some of the flowering gums are flowering, this is a pink variety, there are also reds and yellows

this red rose has a few unexpected white patches

now, as promised, raindrops on roses.

There was a rain shower just before I left home to go to the shops

not a rose, obviously, this is a bottle brush bloom, also shimmery with rain drops

almost positive this is a sago palm and it's a lot taller than those I see in the city, this one is in the parking lot of the local Woolies shopping centre

Roses hanging over a fence, I didn't even notice the buds forming on these and suddenly there they were!

More roses hanging over a different, taller fence, these are supported over a sturdy arch

Bejewelled with diamonds (raindrops)

times two

a bit hard to see the raindrops on these ones

easier on this one

this delicately coloured beauty is my favourite

Remember how grown up the girls appeared last week?

Here they are in their "big girl" beds

No more baby cots in this house.
