Sunday Selections #778

 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.

In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and 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 tree has small pink "bells" in the colour that almost fits Charlotte's colour of the month Electric Rose Pink (could also be known as neon pink)

the giant Lilly-Pilly tree near my home, the canopy is easily twice as wide as the tree is tall.

in town a few days ago I went to the Boost Juice Stand for a banana smoothie and saw they had very bright cups for the summer

"Crackin' Summer" I kept the empty cup and once home cleaned it and carefully peeled off the wrapper after cutting the cup open,

and pasted it to a piece of cardboard to make a mural for the redheads, here it is blu-tacked to my fridge so I could get the photo.

there's no wasted air space in this (plastic) jar of canned peaches

in my opinion, the best tasting canned peaches.

"no-one" is having a go at growing potatoes

and here is my effort, the cut pieces I planted last week are doing quite well and now I wish I had put them in a larger pot.

There's always next time....

from "no-one" the moon still up while the sun turns the sky pink with dawn a week ago

also from "no-one" this is last Wednesday's (4th Feb.) moon still up at dawn

and this moon is my photo, (5th Feb.) I am rarely up this early but Lola insisted it was her bed now that it was daylight so I stepped outside to "feel" the air

finding the clouds still pinkish

and capturing the first plane of the day as it left the airport

an hour later the skies were blue

with not a trace of pink left in the clouds

This giant piece of machinery has appeared at the end of "no-one's" street, part of the equipment doing the tunneling or some other part of the roadwork along our South Road

and this is the empty block across the road where a very dilapidated house once stood surrounded by weeds, junk and rusted cars. Three or more townhouses are planned for that site. 

this is just one of the cracks in my walls, this in the lounge room begins under the window

and goes down towards the power point and then to the skirting board 

Last Sunday, Mary put up this funny cartoon in her Sunday Selections,

so I thought you might all like to see another one, this was black and white in a newspaper years ago (1985) and I coloured it before covering it with clear contact paper to use as a bokmark.
