Sunday Selections #669

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. This week it is snippets from home.

I delight in the sky and for a change these are shots of a sunset rather than a dawn.

 And a softer sunset (when my hands weren't shaking as much as they were on the earlier ones).

And then to the garden.  While I was on a break I did work in the garden.  More needs to be done.  The tuberous begonias are blooming anyway.

Autumn has arrived here and the days (and particularly the nights) are a lot cooler.

Next week I hope to take a walk and show you the arboreal firework display in my area.  I hope your week is blooming lovely.

I usually run with a theme. This week is a bit of a hotch-potch of things that have taken my eye.

I really like this acknowledgement of our first people.  These photos were taken at a bus interchange and some of the buses are also decorated with the same art work.

Closer to home.

A Sulphur-Crested cockatoo who was not (for a change) being a vandal.

And then to the garden.  Again.

I am continuing to make room for the sumo lilies.  Himself has now planted about half of them.  With another day (or so) we will have the rest of them in.

The orchids are still thriving.  These dainty purple ones have started to spread - which I am very happy about.

Just one more photo.

This was taken at sunset on Friday night.  What is special about it?  It was raining at the time.  I don't think I have ever seen a 'sun-shower' so late in the day.

I hope your week brings you joy and wonder.

I usually run with a theme. This week for a change I/we had a couple of small outings.  I am still adapting to my new normal and both of us have acquired 'summer colds'.  I was feeling ground down and demanded a roo fix.  And fix me it did.

The collar on that kangaroo indicates that she is part of the contraceptive program for that area.

Himself has a birthday coming up and I went on a shopping expedition.  Cutting down an alley way between some shops I was delighted with this mural of stylised emus.  Emus are often called meyous in this household after hearing a work colleague's young daughter call them that.

I am finishing up this week's selections with a delightful sunset.  

 I hope you find a fix for anything that ails you this week.
