Sunday Selections #609

 

 

 

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.  Covid has hit me hard and I haven't been out, and have barely been outside the house.  All praise to the Covid Team in my city who have been very helpful and very supportive.  Early in the week there was talk of a trip to hospital when my blood oxygen levels were very low which I am glad to have avoided.  I am now obviously going to live and don't mind too much.  Himself is also doing better and the kittens are finally improving as well, though they still have a way to go.  

These shots were taken not long after first light and (just for a change) feature the garden.

I adore this double poppy and save the seeds and broadcast them each year.

Here is another, with the last of our orchids flowering behind it.

Believe it or not, there is a path under those prolifically blooming Peruvian Lilies (Alstroemeria).  When I can get back into the garden again I will try and clear it.

This is our veranda, first looking to the right as you come out the front door and then to the left.

My mother loathed calla lilies saying they were 'funeral flowers'.  I like them and am particularly fond of this Green Goddess variety.

Not only are the poppies thriving, so are the snails...

I hope your week is healthy, happy and blooming lovely.
