Drifting through life

Following on again with Toni's A-Z, "a...is for" meme, this week's letter is W. W....is for...windows. Windows are an important part of your home or office, they give you something to look out of when the view inside becomes boring, you can glance outside to check the weather, they can be opened to let in fresh air. And they come in all shapes and sizes, s hip's portholes are windows too. In centuries past windows were small and screens to prevent insect entry were non-existent. Shutters were very common, opened during the day to let in light, closed at night and during violent weather. I think they are a good idea and should be on all homes where the windows are small enough to accommodate them. Like mine. I searched the internet for some time looking for photos of even earlier windows that were often just a shutter held in place by a plank of wood when closed, from the days before glass was readily available to the masses. I couldn't find a...

Welcome back to Sunday Selections! This once-a- week-meme was originally begun by Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, as a way to showcase some of the many photos we all take, but don't get around to showing on our blogs. The rules are very simple:- 1. post photos of your choice, old or new, under the Sunday Selections title 2. link back to me, River, somewhere in your post 3. leave me a comment so that I know you've joined in and can come over and see what you've posted. 4. hop on over to The Elephant’s Child to see more of her wonderful photos. Kath and Andrew often join in as well. I usually go with a theme for my Sunday Selections and this week I'm continuing with some photos of the Harris Scarfe development site.  yes, I realise it's Mother's Day and you were probably expecting photos of flowers and chocolates and breakfast in bed, but I'm sure there are plenty of those with accompanying stories on other sites.  So sit bac...

It's Sunday Selections time again! Time to post photos that have been languishing away in your old, (older, oldest), files. (or use new photos, we really don't mind) This idea comes to us from Kim at Frog Ponds Rock , who realised one day that she had many, many photos stored that never, ever get seen. Kim wanted to share her pictures, so thought up this once a week meme, called it Sunday Selections, and it's been going strong for over a year now. Yay Kim! I often choose a theme for my Sunday Selections and this week my theme is.... BLUES Blue skies reflected in  the windows which have blue panels between the floors and blue shades on the northern side. Reflected blue skies make the buildings appear to be very white. A different building, still blue, but made aqua by the window shades. More blue windows, coloured by the heavens. Now for something different, but still blue.... Blue pots. Shiny, blue glazed ceramic pots. Aren...
