Sunday Selections #831

 


Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files. Huge thanks to Cie who gave me this wonderful Sunday Selections image. 

The meme was then continued by River at Drifting through life.  Sadly she has now stepped aside (though she will join us some weeks), and I have accepted the mantle.  
 
The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent.  Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to me. Sorry I still haven't succeeded in working out how to do a blog hop. Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.
 
 I usually run with a theme. This week as well as a few other hospital trips I had my first dose of chemotherapy.  Apart from them struggling to find a suitable vein (which is unusual for me) it seemed to go off well.  It was a long, long day though.  Five hours of infusions.  This, subject to ongoing tests and scans, will continue each three weeks until the week before Christmas after which I may have radiation treatment.
 
I am v tired and wobbly but otherwise ok.  Just the same I am going to continue to focus on colour and beauty in my selections.  Starting with a roo fix.  This first male is a very big and imposing boy isn't he?
 






Garden Colour.
 




I spotted these blossom trees when I went for an MRI one night.  I loved the way the colour popped even in the dark..


 An Eastern Rosella brightened a dull morning...
 




 And a bit more colour (including weeds) in our garden too.
 





 
 
I hope you have a beautiful week.

 I usually run with a theme. I am still home.  Yay.
 
I did (of course) have to make repeated trips to the hospital last week.  However I also had to go into town which is where much of my focus is this week.
 
 
Doesn't this bear cry out to be hugged?  It is in an area set aside for children in the hospital but this adult was tempted too.
 




 I have featured The Big Swoop before.  It was vandalised shortly after it was installed but has been repaired and is now back on display.
 
And a nearby mural - down an otherwise unappealing alley.
 






I have also had a roo fix and been revelling in things coming out in the garden. 
 
This coming week will be busy.  I have multiple medical appointments and I think I start chemotherapy on Wednesday so I will be largely absent from the blogosphere.  I  hope your week is packed with colour and joy.
