Sunday Selections # 723

 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 more often.

Two more photos from Two Wells before we continued our journey north:

this Leopard Tank, used by Australians from 1977 to 2007

was manufactured in Germany in 1976

the following photos are from Adelaide's Botanic Gardens, the Chihuly display of blown glass art:

I took photos of the plaques saying what each art piece is, but if I include those I'll be up all night

 

a beached boat filled with blown glass balls, with more balls floating in the water, I believe they are anchored at the bottom of the lake.

a closer look at the boat and balls

a blue starburst thingy in the lawns by the Palm House

The Palm House, and inside:

a double-decker "chandelier"

oddly enough, this one reminds me of 70s furnishings, when lime greens and yellows were teamed with browns, but saucepan sets were available in bright orange,

This one is a two-fer, a chandelier of balls hanging from the tree and another one on the ground as if fallen.

these "reeds" stretch for about 6 metres and at one end is something Steve would like:

this two metres wide stand of:

teasels!

after all that walking I decided home made chips would be just the thing for dinner, along with microwaved vegetables.

this is my table. I have owned it since 1998. Lola seems to think it is hers.

Now for the great potato experiment: I had sprouting (chitting) potatoes in my cupboard, so I planted a couple. Soon enough, greenery appeared at the top of the soil in the pot. Then something ate it. More greenery appeared and was eaten. the pot seemed to be completelt empty, no more greenery. I left it for a few weeks just in case, but decided yesterday to dig around in there and see if there might be actual potatoes hiding in there. 

This is what I found:

 tiny 3cm potato. I won't get many chips from that will I? 

This has been my final vegetable effort. I won't try growing anything edible, it's pointless when things out there are determined to defeat me.
