Colourful beach huts on Cromer beach. Eight is considered a lucky number in Chinese as it sounds like the word for wealth or good fortune. In Buddhism 8 is also auspicious, possibly because of the eight petals of the lotus plant, which is associated with Buddhism.

Number 91 for 100 Flowers 2022

In flower still in the garden in November

We have number five (back) and three (front) in this image.

(During a short visit to Sabiepark, we went for short late afternoon drive in the Kruger National Park. What a surprise we had. We were treated by lionesses, let me rephrase, by the cubs of two lionesses to the extreme! The two mothers went for an outing and left the 5 cubs behind, and did they enjoy the little bit of freedom, or let me rephrase, did we enjoy the little bit freedom they had. They came closer to use from about two hundred meters to within 10 meters! How fortunate can you get!

These cubs were photographed in the wild in the Kruger National Park.)

Number 3 in my Theme for this week Red. Drag Car at Santa Pod, Bedford, UK 2016.

Old doors

Pawns.

I thought of publishing one of my in-camera stacking repeated images thingies for the Crazy Tuesday group's Repeating Object theme.

Then I thought I was probably stretching things too far, and was in danger of incurring the admins' ire. I've done that before (and I have to say this group's admins have a very gentle wrath :) ), and it's an experience I don't want to repeat - for their sakes as much as mine.

So this is a repeat of a subject first published a month or so ago, but not a repeated image or even a repeated point of view. Repeated focus perhaps...

I liked the repeating pawns so much I wanted to repeat the experience of sharing them, but I hasten to repeat that I don't normally like repeating things like that.

Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. (I always seem to repeat these words don't I?)

Happy happy Crazy crazy Tuesday Tuesday :)

Number 87 for 100 Flower 2021

Erysimum Bowles Mauve has done better for me this year as I remembered to keep cutting it back!

So it's still flowering now.

Abandoned places and things (Italy)

Here are two more pictures from my recent stay in London, an opportunity I used to continue working on my long-term project titled Urban Serendipity. Some people have asked me about the meaning of serendipity. According to Webster's dictionary, it means "the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for." Today’s photos were taken in Broadgate Circle in the City of London, very close to Liverpool Street – Broadgate Circle, London, UK

Captured this vehicle in the village of Southwick, Hampshire at a 1940's revival weekend a couple of months ago. Not sure of the make - I think it is a Fordson, but I am willing to be corrected. As I didn't know thought it was easier to title it Outside Number 12!
