Our different varieties of salvia in the garden have reacted very positively to the arrival of cooler weather by giving us another wonderful show of flowers which no doubt will be their last hurrah before Autumn turns to Winter

Another result of my recent playing around with colour (& water) - a red feather caught in my euphorbia trigona (African Milk Tree) and then sprayed with water. Red represents vitality, the life force, physical energy and strength, passion, power and courage. If you encounter a red feather, it may be a sign that you are becoming stronger, or getting your strength back after a health issue. Here's hoping.....

The calla lily flower is the official bloom to represent a sixth wedding anniversary. Because of the flower's uniqueness, it is often used to mark life's rites of passage. More broadly, the calla lily meaning is purity, holiness, and faithfulness, which goes back to its religious significance. These four calla lilies are the only flowers to have survived the bouquet I bought last Tuesday at the market - the roses withered and died far too quickly

Part of a Jerusalem sage plant. The hairy thingy eventually opens and turns into yellow flowers. The soft background bokeh shows the yellow of other Jerusalem sage plants in flower

I bought a small bunch of different coloured anemones at the market on Tuesday as the colours were so rich and vibrant and this one screamed at me to have its photo taken. It makes me smile greatly and I hope it makes you smile too 😊🌺

(sorry for the pun, couldn't help it : ))

 

That's the edge of a blue-cyan coloured gel ice / cold pack (gel refrigerant pack) you use to treat bruises for example ... I dampened it a bit and put it into the freezer to get some ice crystals on top of it

A shot of my pot of "rat's tails" cactus which is coming out of its winter slumber and there's lots of jostling for space going on. It reminds me of all those years when I was travelling to work on the London Underground in rush hour! 😊

Macro Mondays, themed crack, no human parts,

 

This photo show a very small part of the surface of a leather vaulting buck. The vaulting buck was exposed to the weather, on a balcony and not very well cared for, when I bought it.

 

Therefore, especially at the edges, the leather has many cracks, and partly broken out of the upper port of the leather. Cracks of different sizes, length, shape and form depending of the usage and the exposure to sun and rain.

 

As for the size, the longest parts shown are shorter than 60 mmm, to many pictures and no ruler

I haven't posted a bee shot for a few days, so here it is lol. I took this in my FIL's garden when we called in on the way home from Forster, so it is technically part of my little holiday. #349 on Explore 27th February, 2008.
