7 Days of Shooting/Week #31/Coffee, Tea or What Else Do We Drink/Texture Tuesday

Come on, tell me you don't want a slice...

Dreaming with the loveliest flower that has never had the splendors of a flower's fragrance.

And why does the Camellia have no scent?

Here is a story that tells why... The chapter is called, "Camellia's Regrets," from the 1849 book, The Flowers Personified.

For: 7 Days of Shooting. Week #2. Black or White - Texture Tuesday.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to look at my photo and make a comment or Fave it.

Today's theme for Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday is red! Ooh la la.

Red - sexy, vibrant, passionate, and most often, dangerously seductive - the color a sultry lady choses to wear. In the movies, whenever a woman wears red, something scary happens next, usually.

So, my Stanley, watch out!

FYI, Kim Klassen's textures, "Autumn Burst" and "Thursday" were applied, lightly.

Thank you Flickr Explore!

The trouble with bees is, they move all the time. I've spent some time today trying to follow them with my lens, among the lavender in my garden.

"Nostalgia" - Texture Tuesday - 7 Days of Shooting

Ever wondered what it would be like to be constrained for your own protection, well this isn't what it is like.

I was hoping to get Mrs Mail to pose like this, but she was unable to enter the circle due to her bad knee, so I had to do the deed.

I had meant too rotate more to be almost upside down, but I was more focused on giving directions for the shot.

We hadn't been to a zoo for decades. While it is truly wonderful to see the birds and animals, I find it a challenging conundrum between preservation ( ie safe from extinction for the moment) and less than ideal conditions for the animals instead of "in the wild".

Adelaide Zoo was the 2nd to open in Australia in 1883, and was mostly the efforts of a private family. It is not funded by the government.

The theme this week @ Texture Tuesday is Wise Words. I love this John O'Donohue quote.

Kim Klassen Texture: Embrace

One room schoolhouse in Harrison Maine...so many years ago...still standing..

Oh the lessons that must have been learned here..in this field..time stands still for those who visit...

"One of the most “exciting things that happened” was when she killed an 8-foot rattlesnake that had crawled onto the schoolhouse porch. She used a shovel to decapitate it. Two older students later skinned it.

We studied rattlesnakes for a couple of weeks and had the dead snake on display,” she recalled."

This supermarket has a coffee bar right inside the store. All the shopping carts are fitted with convenient little cup holders. I’ve noticed that many of the patrons seem to find that their shopping experience goes better if they carry around a tall latte. So, in honor of "The Weekly Grocery Shop" at 7 Days of Shooting, where we are to do “photos of how we go about to get those groceries” I decided to better prepare for my shopping with a bold black brew.

Sometimes life takes turns and you find yourself...trying to just see the light...that's the way it's been for me lately..

I'm hoping as I move forward into the most beautiful time of the year, that my light might start to flicker and then turn into a freaking blaze...I'm ready for some Good News. Tis the Season, right?

Met this little chap on the bridge to the lake! He wasn't a bit shy and later followed me to the car and sat on my wing mirror looking in at me!!

Actually, it was "sweet sunday" but no matter. Once Lent begins, this will be a distant memory, hence the processing. :)

I made a maple bundt cake with a filling of my homemade apple walnut compote. It was a delish tea time. Now, after this is gone, let the fasting begin!

Happy Mardi Gras! Have a great (fat) Tuesday everybody.

Textures compliments of Kim Klassen for Beyond Layers. Thanks Kim!

My friends, I am still writing comments rarely... Sometimes during the day my typing is better and I'll make comments. Often during the day my arms feel heavy, I peck slowly and make many mistakes. Then I make only very few comments. My heartfelt thanks to you all for your kind comments and positive energy! I soak it up and feel better! You are the best!

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.

...for Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday. I added a layer of "Ashton" from the Cloth and Paper Collection. Also added a Fly Edge from Flypaper Textures.

Come on little bear, school is starting. I think Mr. Seahorse has a crush on Miss Giraffe.

For Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday theme, back to school, we were asked to use two textures. I combined Aurora and Silence.

7DOS. Texture Tuesday. Vibrant. The heather is quite vibrant, though abbot muted here by the rain.

Xziva's colour is a nice dark blue but in the morning sun she got this golden shine on her .
