Sunday Selections # 299

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 Elephant’s Child to see more of her wonderful photos.

 

I usually go with a theme for my Sunday Selections and this week is a random selection taken in and around my home.

the big agapanthus bed which should begin blooming soon, although there aren't any flower heads showing yet.

usually I pass this unit and there are a dozen birds sitting right on the edge of the gutter, until this time when I remembered to take the camera :(

bright red bottlebrush against a bright blue sky

cheerful daisies

the front garden by the main road driveway entrance.

pink roses,

and white, lining the opposite side of that same driveway.

I opened a new bucket of honey and was greeted by this smiley face.

sleepyhead Angel, who woke up several hours into the night and threw up on this quilt,

which then needed washing (*~*),

leaving the patchwork quilt exposed.

It looks so much brighter when I turn on the light!

pretty, yes? The squares are silk, and a little fragile, the quilt being made from pieces of old Indian Saris and hand stitched with coloured threads as you see here. I bought this from a place called Eastern Silk, way back when I was still working, and I didn't want Angel getting his claws into it,

so I covered it with this crocheted blanket made for me by Jayne a few years ago. It's usually on the couch and Angel's favourite blanket.
