Growing in the pond beside Inverleith House. It was raining when I took this!
This was my last visit to the Botanics for a while and I'd be travelling back home in a few hours. Hope you've all enjoyed coming on holiday with me. The only thing I missed out on was seeing any wild otters. Maybe I'll just have to try to go back another time and try.
I have finally bought a new Catwa head. I have been in love with my Lona head, and have yet to find one to compare to it. Well yesterday I demoed the Keme head and bought it this morning and made some minor tweaks. So here is the new me, in what I have to say a pic I really enjoyed making and I really like the way it came out. So be sure to pop on over to my blog where you can get all the details.. justapeeksite.wordpress.com/2018/02/17/peek-87/
These tiny little bowls (I have 12 in all) were a gift from an aunt. I’ve tried to find out about them but the most I could find was that they’re probably Chinese export porcelain made in the 1950’s. Each one is hand painted with a different figure with some tiny Chinese (I think) writing next to each one. I’d love to know what the words say so if any of you can understand the one you can see I’d be really interested!!
Thanks for viewing
The poppy blossom in the Waldviertel in beautiful Lower Austria was on my photo bucket list for a long time. So my friend and I spontaneously decided to make a trip there for sunset. This sunset was almost magical and wrapped the delicate poppies in a warm light.
I love these pretty pink flowers, but I'm not to sure what they are called...
Thank you for the comment's and favourites my friends! Hope you all have a good weekend...
HL8003, an Airbus A330-323, on approach to runway 24R at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. It was arriving as KAL9083 (Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd.) from Anchorage, Alaska and Seoul, Korea.
Serial number 1590 had been converted into a package freighter and was operating a cargo flight this day.
I spotted this pretty and colourful display of flowers on a day out in Ironbridge Shropshire, I'm not to sure what they are called though!

“That last week the syringa came out at San Salvatore, and all the acacias flowered. No one had noticed how many acacias there were till one day the garden was full of a new scent, and there were the delicate trees, the lovely successors to the wistaria, hung all over among their trembling leaves with blossom. When, on the first of May, everybody went away, even after they had got to the bottom of the hill and passed through the iron gates out into the village they still could smell the acacias. They could smell them even when they reached London. But that’s another story.” ― Elizabeth von Arnim, “The Enchanted April” 1922
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 28th of September is “flowers in pastel”, and since September indicates the beginning of spring in the Southern Hemisphere, I had a multitude of spring blossoms to choose from. Ornamental apple blossom is one of my favourite examples of spring blossom, so as I took this on the 2nd of September, it seemed the perfect choice for this week’s theme. I hope you like it too, and that it makes you smile!
Malus is a genus of about thirty to fifty five species of small deciduous trees or shrubs in the family Rosaceae, including the domesticated orchard apple, crab apples and wild apples. The genus is native to the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere. Crabapples or ornamental apple blossom trees are known for their beautiful display of pink and white blossoms in spring, and colourful ornamental fruit later in the year.

The plasterer has finished such a messy job. Mind I can’t the knock plasterer other than nailing him down to do the job in the first place. His boast was he’d been plastering for 65 years and it looked it. He was nobbling around on bad knees talking to Carla a lot of the time drinking tea, but I have to take my hat off to him still doing it at his age. The biggest part of our job was replacing ceiling boards which I ripped out after water Ingres problems with the sunroom roof a couple of winters back. I was concerned as the job involved some heavy lifting, but he managed and put in two days hard grafted, still having plenty of time to natter with Carla. Now the job is done, the cleaning starts. The sunroom facing northwest is freezing cold this time of year, so we use it as make shift fridge for extra Christmas food and drink. It give my visiting family some exercise to walk to the back of the house to get plate of Christmas leftovers or another can of beer. Todays photo was taken in early November, no clever composition, no dramatic lighting, just a pretty view, well I think it is.

Lucifer Crocosmia after a rain. The hummingbirds love them!! Unfortunately the flowers don't last long. They sure are pretty while they do last though!

It had rained, and she was picking her way carefully through a muddy area at the Michigan Renaissance Festival.

"Pretty woman, walkin' down the street
Pretty woman the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you, mercy
Pretty woman won't you pardon me
Pretty woman I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman that you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me
Pretty woman stop awhile
Pretty woman talk awhile
Pretty woman give your smile to me
Pretty woman yeah, yeah, yeah
Pretty woman look my way
Pretty woman say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right
Come with me baby, be mine tonight
Pretty woman don't walk on by
Pretty woman don't make me cry
Pretty woman don't walk away, hey, OK
If that's the way it must be, OK
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait
What do I see?
Is she walkin' back to me?
Yeah, she's walkin' back to me
Oh, oh, pretty woman."
[Roy Orbison]

A pink cockatoo leaves its partner briefly to have a closer look at the strange creature on the Nullarbor Plain.
I love the colour of these Pansies - taken during our trip to the UK in 2017.
I am still in hospital and will be until Monday at least. There has been some improvement in my left leg, but the right leg is still causing some bad burning pain.
