Sunday Selections #820

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. This week I am being a little big more random.  It is finally cooling down a bit here (though the days are still quiet warm).

In the evenings Odie has found a clever way to keep his tootsies warm.

 

 

 He just tucks a paw into the top of himself's ugh boots.  I thought it was cute when I first saw it and he has done it every night since.

 

 Each month Charlotte (MotherOwl) gives us a colour of the month.  This month it is:

So with that in mind I went looking again.  I found some pink outside.

 The first is our perpetually blooming begonia.  The second is a potted Japanese maple.  Depending on the light it can look pink or orange.

 There is pink inside too.

 

 I hope (again) that this week finds you in the pink too.

There is not much in our garden that is blooming in that colour but I turned, as I so often do, to the sky.

 

  I hope your week finds you 'in the pink'.

Words for Wednesday 9/4/2025

 

This meme was started by Delores a long time ago.  Computer issues led her to bow out for a while.  The meme was too much fun to let go, and now Words for Wednesday is provided by a number of people and has become a movable feast. 

Essentially the aim is to encourage us to write.  Each week we are given a choice of prompts: which can be words, phrases, music or an image.   What we do with those prompts is up to us:  a short story, prose, a song, a poem, or treating them with ignore...  We can use some or all of the prompts, and mixing and matching is encouraged.

Some of us put our creation in comments on the post, and others post on their own blog.  I would really like it if as many people as possible joined into this fun meme, which includes cheering on the other participants.  If you are posting on your own blog - let me know so that I, and other participants, can come along and applaud. 

Huge thanks to River  and Charlotte (MotherOwl) who provided us with the prompts last month.  This month I will be providing the prompts. 

 

The colour for April is Missing Green.

 

 

 

This week's prompts are:

• Beauty
• Missing
• Totally
• Roundabout
• Belief
  

 

And/or

 

•  Suddenly
• Peace
• Rose
• Calamity
• Solve
  

 

 As always, have fun.

 

I am sure you will join me in wishing good things for River who has her first cataract surgery tomorrow and may not join us this week. 

 

 

 

Where are the Words for Wednesday?

 

 

Thank you for participating in last month's prompts.

FEBRUARY:  lissa has offered to provide the prompts.  They will appear on her blog.

  Charlotte (MotherOwl's) colour is below.

And as I had a hard time deciding which of the delightful blues were best, you're free to use any that suits you.

 Have fun. And yes, this is a scheduled post and I am still on my break.
