We may try to have another flickr meetup on or aornd the 10th 0r 11th of July.
All who would like to attend let us know and we will make it a bbq afternoon. This will be the last time any of the group will be able to see Denise in Vancouver.
I am leaving early tomorrow morning and will not be back until the 9th of July evening.
Hope that Denise and all of you can work out some details before I get back.
Thank you and see you all in a couple of weeks.
Probably Boke's, but I'll go back and photograph some of the Common Button cacti (easy to confuse with Boke's) found nearby. This one is 3-4 cm tall. When the rains come, this plant will fill up with water and become much more spherical. If weather continues to be dry, it will continue to shrink until it is little more than a flat pancake.
A couple of days late but fairies are hard to find in your house. #57/119 International Fairy Day.
A funny little Tinker Bell button.
After what seemed like a very long wait, we got Fairyland mail on Tuesday!
Her name is Pixie (It is what my husband calls all my dolls! Plus she's the perfect little Pixie) She is a Fairyland Realpuki Soso, in tan.
Button was very happy to find a friend her own size to play with, and wasted no time in introducing herself. All I could hear all day was the tinkling sound of little giggles coming from the doll shelf :)

So there I was, Friday night, read the paper front to back (even the ad's), nowhere to go, nothing on the box, You-Tubed for a while, but basically.... bored.
And Mrs Z starts sewing a button (or harpooning, judging by the size of the needle) on a shirt of mine.
Well, what could I do?
Have a great weekend. everyone.
who's got the button?
So I forgot/didn't have time/didn't feel like doing a 52 week shot last week.
You'll live.
explored.

orange/red hourglass mark on abdomen
These common spiders are often found around human dwellings. They build a messy web and have large white, spiky egg sacs. They are usually a brown colour with darker bands on the joint of each leg. The abdomen is grey to white often with a series of dots. The characteristic hourglass shape under the abdomen is orange to red. They are inoffensive and when disturbed, drop to the floor in a tight ball. Bites are rare and usually occur when the spiders are squashed by accident. The venom is highly neurotoxic and causes pain, sweating, nausea and shortness of breath. A bite from a Brown Button Spider is unpleasant, but treatable and no deaths have been recorded.
Today will be one of my rare no-neckwear days. I have not worn this in awhile, but once every few weeks or so I do like to try the buttoned up look. I work in the morning and plan to meet with a friend for a late lunch. With the cold weather and early darkness of the season I do not have any other plans so I will probably have a relaxing evening at home. I like the contrasting white collar on this black shirt. I have an all-black shirt on order and look forward to some outfit combinations with it soon.
Conocarpus erectus, commonly called buttonwood or button mangrove, is a mangrove shrub in the family Combretaceae. This species grows on shorelines in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. (Wikipedia)

this was an attempt to make a quilt like this one: flickr.com/photos/eggmoney/400373863/ , mine doesn't look like hers which really worried me at first, the buttons were an afterthought in place of quilting stitching and I love them, in the end I'm happy with it

Rob gave me an idea for the connections challenge yesterday but I was unable to get it due to lack of time. This is one of the pics I got yesterday while taking my first 52 week project photo.
I didn't think of the idea until I saw Shannon's photo. Thank you lots Shan :)

Im so pleased it was Explored!!
I think this is a type of Agaricus Bisporus or commonly known as button mushroom.
You'll find this aplenty if you do a bit of hiking in New Zealand.
They taste yummy on pizzas by the way.
oh, the dof is the work of P&S Fuji F20.
A little bit about the history of buttons:
Buttons and button-like objects used as ornaments or seals rather than fasteners have been discovered in the Indus Valley Civilization during its Kot Yaman phase (c. 2800–2600 BCE)[1] as well as Bronze Age sites in China (c. 2000–1500 BCE), and Ancient Rome.
Buttons made from seashell were used in the Indus Valley Civilization for ornamental purposes by 2000 BCE.[2] Some buttons were carved into geometric shapes and had holes pierced into them so that they could be attached to clothing with thread.[2] Ian McNeil (1990) holds that: "The button, in fact, was originally used more as an ornament than as a fastening, the earliest known being found at Mohenjo-daro in the Indus Valley. It is made of a curved shell and about 5000 years old."[3]
Functional buttons with buttonholes for fastening or closing clothes appeared first in Germany in the 13th century.[4] They soon became widespread with the rise of snug-fitting garments in 13th- and 14th-century Europe. (Wiki)
