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.
The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life. The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River. Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.
Like River I usually run with a theme. For the next few weeks I am reverting to the theme I was using this time last year - Home and Away.
Starting with home. We have had some very welcome rain recently. One night last week we had a shower just as the sun was setting. Which produced a sort of rainbow.
The sunset was lovely too.
The garden and I welcomed the rain. I am not sure that the birds did.
This poor galah looked miserable. And just sat there hunched up in the rain.
It is probably anthromorphism (like my comment about the galah) but the bearded raven looked a tad peeved to me.
The garden has been thriving.
I am ashamed to say that I cannot remember what the purple flower is. I planted it, and it is thriving, but its name escapes me. If any of you know, please educate me (again).
And now to much more exciting images.
He is eating well. And I think eating better than he does at home.
This was the hallway in a Youth Hostel he stayed in. I think it looks really attractive.
I think that one looks bizarre, and wil have to ask him what he knows about it.
Coming into Kirghistan. Where he was very lucky. He landed around 1am, used a machine in the airport to get some local currency and checked into a hotel. When he woke again he discovered he didn't have his card, and is pretty sure he left in the machine (six or seven hours before he surfaced). It wasn't at the airport, but when he went on line to cancel the card he discovered that no money had been spent on it after his withdrawal.
He was talking about climbing that hill (Suleyman Peak) for the view but I think he wimped out.
Yurt shops.
And a nearby three level yurt which surprised him, and me.
