Sunday Selections #641

 

 

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. I have seen my neurologist but have no answers yet.  More tests and then back to see him again. The body is still behaving badly but I refuse to give in.

Many of you know that the garden is one of my passions.  It has got away from me, but the bones of the garden are still there and more and more things are coming into bloom.  So I try and do a bit in it most days.

Here are some of the delights I have found.

There are more camellias coming out each day.

Our wattle (Australia's floral emblem) is coming out too.  Parts of my city are blazing with them.

This Japanese iris was given to me by a neighbour - who died a few years ago.  I think of him each year when they flower.  They are spreading too, which is lovely.

The bees and I love the anemones - and I hope Charlotte (MotherOwl) will accept this as my nod to her colour of the month which is luminous red.

This is Chimonanthus praecox, also known as wintersweet and Japanese allspice.  It has a delightful subtle scent and knows that it is indeed still winter.

I hope you find colour and delight in the week to come.
