Drifting through life

  Long, long ago, in days of yore...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.

I'm sitting here typing with  music blasting, songs I know no one likes except me and I don't care if it annoys her, or anyone else.  mostly country music and a bit of 80's rock. If she says anyt...

Continuing on from last week, where the girls were headed into the jungle: Gillian: I like these wide ferns Riley: I'm sitting with a kookaburra Meg: I'm balancing on one foot, ha ha. Do we need to get higher? Riley: as high as you can, so the breezes in the trees can carry our thoughts.
