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.
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.
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)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
In this heat and humidity I would love some frosty bubbles on my shoulders, I hope you have a great new week and all is well. Best of luck with the doctor.
ReplyDeleteOooooh more frozen bubbles. Very, very cool.
ReplyDeleteEvery year I look forward to vicariously taking part in this festival of bubbles! Thank you, Sue. And I know you appreciate the cold weather.
ReplyDeleteThat was a glorious sunset.
ReplyDeleteLove 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.
The sunset really was magnificent. Loved the bubbles and the parrot. That is cold. It's hot here.
ReplyDeleteLove the sunset and bubbles!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sunset, Sue!
ReplyDeleteMay healthwise the sun rise for you in July!
My good thoughts are with you.
These bubbles surely look amazing
ReplyDeleteI am very pleased to see some excellent ice bubbles this year. It certainly was some sunset, so orange.
ReplyDeleteMy cousin in Mawson was telling me about the cold temperatures. But I don't think she has experimented with freezing bubbles like you have! I must remember to try this in six months time!
ReplyDeleteYour bubbles are always fun. I keep forgetting about the difference in temperatures we have. Yikes to that cold weather! Glad you found something fun. And that was a great sunset indeed.
ReplyDeleteI find I prefer the more intense colouring of sunsets over the softer dawns as I get older, maybe it has something to do with the day being over and I can lock my doors and turn the TV on.
ReplyDeleteLove the king parrot, was she waiting for food?
The fourth bubble photo, the collapsed one reminds me of a jellyfish.
What a perfect winter day!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed by your glorious sunrise and sunset shots. I love the subtle pink of the sunrise and the blazing orange of the sunset. Two very different sky shots.
ReplyDeleteYour bubbles turned out great. I even enjoyed seeing how the collapsed.
What a beautiful King Parrot. So good to see them flying free in your country.
Hope the doctor appointment gives you some much needed answers.
