Friday in Zuydcoote, with my lovely Friends J-Luc and Cat.

Shopping the day after Thanksgiving would be torture for me. Instead my family opted to explore and hike.

Rattlesnake Lake, North Bend, WA.

Have a lovely Friday & weekend all my Flickr friends. Dahlia in our garden.

This trio of roses was taken at the rose garden, Melbourne Botanical Gardens.

I will be off Flickr for about a week. Happy Friday and upcoming weekend everyone. Will catch up soon.

We are really going through some different times. I can't help but wonder how we'll come out on the other side. My mother went through the depression, and we were never able to throw something away. At my grandfathers farm, if we took a building apart we had to straighten the nails out.

So, I'm wondering, we will forever be afraid to get close to someone. We will always collect toilet paper..;)

This pinkish, purplish rose is so heavy that it droops over.

Hope you enjoy listening to another oldie but goodie by Lynn Anderson singing " I Never Promise You A Rose Garden "

I noticed the unfolding petals in the centre of this apricot rose looks like the shutters of a camera aperture.

Variegated Rose taken at the International Rose Garden, Adelaide Botanical Garden during my last visit to Adelaide.

I was surprised how this image turned out. It was just past noon and it was very bright with the overhead sun.

I used a plastic shower cap ( my improvised filter ) which fit nicely into my open palm in one hand to block the sunlight and I took the picture with the other hand.

"Climate change isn’t an ‘issue’ to add to the list of things to worry about, next to health care and taxes. It is a civilizational wake-up call. A powerful message — spoken in the language of fires, floods, droughts, and extinctions — telling us that we need an entirely new economic model and a new way of sharing this planet. Telling us we need to evolve."

(Naomi Klein)

There was an art festival going on while I was at the coast. I had forgotten that Rockport was an art community. After taking this pic I went and walked around the in side and was really impressed by the work of so many artist. However, most of it was paintings. I hate the fact that people to recognize photography as art. Sure there was some photography work but selling for so much less than the paintings.

Other than that..;) The festival was fun. There was live music, lots of different foods and of course, the rides. I didn't go on the rides..:)

It's starting to look a lot like Christmas..:)) Christmas light shows are everywhere this time of year.

The cold weather has hit this place. We don't get show, just the cold and windy at times.
