Sunday Selections #546

 

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. Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.   

I usually run with a theme.  This week, (and perhaps next week) my photos will be from home.  Our luck ran out and for the first time in over a year we have community transmission of Covid 19 and have gone into lockdown.  A strict lockdown with only five acceptable reasons to leave home.  I am glad that our Chief Minister took that step and didn't wait.  As I prepare this post we have seven active cases (who were out and about while infectious).  Hopefully prompt action will keep future cases to a minimum.  As an aside I was delighted to learn that community groups are donating washable/reusable masks to the homeless in my community.  They are again mandatory, and an expense which many of the homeless simply cannot afford.

It is still winter here.  The mornings have been crisp and cool - though the other resident says that cold is a better description.

 

 

While winter is still with us there are definite hints that Spring is not far away.

 

There are only a few sprigs of wattle out at the moment, but I expect by next weekend there will be a glorious golden display at the top of our garden.

I put a rock in the bird's water bath, so that the smaller birds can drink safely.  I was fascinated to see that one of them brought some moss seeds (spores?) with it, and that it is thriving.

I hope that your week is safe, colourful and happy.
