Sunday Selections #826


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. Today I am going to show you different facets of last Sunday.
 
As is usual my day started early with a soft and gentle dawn.
 

 The temperatures were not gentle.  It was -7C/19.4 F.  So naturally I went out to blow bubbles.
 








 
 I had a wonderful time and loved seeing the shells the bubbles left behind when they finally burst.  
 
When I finally came in I was greeted by this female King Parrot near the front door.
 


 I came in because chilly weather is not kind to camera batteries and discovered I had been outside for an hour (and the temperatures were still firmly in the negative.  I know, I am not entirely sane.
 
And at the other end of the day (which was a little warmer) the sunset was spectacular so I rushed out again.
 





 I hope you find colour and joy in your week(s) too.
Thank you for your good wishes for next week's doctor's appointment.  I am really hoping for answers and a time frame for action.

  1. Laura Eno - What a gorgeous sunset! Spectacular. And I’m so glad you got to make frozen bubbles. (Yes, you are a bit insane… but many of us are)
    I envy your birds, so beautiful and abundant in your region. And big!
    Crossing my fingers for positive answers and an action plan. Sending my love your way.

  4. Every year I look forward to vicariously taking part in this festival of bubbles! Thank you, Sue. And I know you appreciate the cold weather.

  5. That was a glorious sunset.
    Love to see your bubbles. I haven't been able to make my own. Thinking of following this recipe this coming winter:
    1 cup water, 2 tablespoons corn syrup, and 2 tablespoons dish soap. : )))
    And I will need the right temperature, of course.
