Second Life Park🍁🍂
In a park near the seaside,
Roll over the grass, eat rice balls, sketch, reading,etc ...
🍙️️📖
At night, there is a little light,
A quiet park turns into a date spot.💏
But what about this year's Halloween night?
What happens?🤔
Imagination is free.
I think it will be a fun night.
🎃🌲🎃🌳🎃🌙😉

Day 10 - October 2024: A month in 31 pictures
I wanted to use these daed hydrangeas and yarrow flowers but it just wan't working so I added the orange slices and other bits so it's quite busy for me. Also the tea is redbush but came our rather vibrant with a warm treatment. Well, it is Shocktober so I guess someone may have popped a potion in there.
Lensbaby Velvet 56 and gold spatula in front of the lens at an angle giving the slightly stripey effect.

Delighted to be sketching in the sunshine with Erik O.
We had a fine view of Thomas Telford's bridge:

And when the sky was starless
In the void of the night,
He spoke into the darkness
And created the light!

On the day I was visiting Bushkill Falls in PA this fall I stopped by this area to wait for the gate to open and found this red bush and weathered ferns.

What a treat - to sit and draw this view over 3 fine mornings : )
Four different types of tea that are found in my kitchen! The contrast of shapes/colours/texture of the different teas next to each other results in an interesting macro image.
Verveine, Rooibis (red bush), Brazilian Mate and Jasmine tea!
HMM everyone!

Our Judas tree is absolutely covered with these purple pea-like flowers - gorgeous!
There is new growth starting at the ends of every branch - heart-shaped fresh glossy green leaves like this one.
Rooibos chai tea with star anise for Macro Mondays 'stars' theme.
Studio 26 water assignment I was looking at the image I took for MM and wondered if it would fit for the 'water in a supporting role' part of the assignment. Water is obviously used to make the tea but does that count?
I'm delighted that Photo Argus included this image in their 40 lovely pictures of tea feature.

My favorite tea is from South Africa. It's called "rooibos", which translated means "red bush." I love it...it's so soothing and always reminds me of home.

Début 2005. Nous venons d'acheter notre nouvel appartement dans le 3ème arrondissement de Paris et avons vendu celui du 20ème. Les calendriers coïncidant mal, nous nous retrouvons sans domicile entre la fin janvier et février.
Ces photos ont été prise dans l'appartement provisoire que nous louons pendant deux semaines. Tout ici est décoré avec des jaunes et des rouges, bien loin de nos goûts.

Early 2005. We just bought our new apartment in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris and sold the one in the 20th. The calendars didn't match up, so we found ourselves homeless between the end of January and February.
These photos were taken in the temporary apartment we were renting for two weeks. Everything here is decorated in yellows and reds, far from our tastes.
Sometimes it is fun to make breakfast a little more inventive, especially on a Monday morning. I thought it might be a good way to start the week by having some little toasty animals with my boiled egg, especially using Heidi's hand painted egg cup and mug.
I think hedgehog, squirrel & fox enjoyed playing soldiers for the morning.
On our way through Clanwilliam - home of Rooibos Tea.
From Wikipedia: "In 1772, Swedish naturalist Carl Thunberg noted, "the country people made tea" from a plant related to rooibos or redbush. Traditionally, the local people would climb the mountains and cut the fine, needle-like leaves from wild rooibos plants. They then rolled the bunches of leaves into hessian bags and brought them down the steep slopes using donkeys. The leaves were then chopped with axes and bruised with hammers, before being left to dry in the sun.
Dutch settlers to the Cape learned to drink rooibos as an alternative to black tea, an expensive commodity for the settlers who relied on supply ships from Europe.
In 1904, Benjamin Ginsberg ran a variety of experiments at Rondegat Farm, finally curing rooibos. He simulated the traditional Chinese method of making Keemun by fermenting the tea in barrels. The major hurdle in growing rooibos tea commercially was that farmers could not germinate the rooibos tea seeds. The seeds were hard to find and impossible to germinate commercially.
In 1930 District Surgeon and botanist Dr Pieter Le Fras Nortier Rhodes scholar recognising the valuable medicinal and curative properties of rooibos tea, began conducting experiments with the cultivation of the rooibos tea plant. Dr Nortier also saw the vast commercial potential the tea held for the region.
Dr Nortier cultivated the first plants at Clanwilliam on his farm Eastside and on the farm Klein Kliphuis. The tiny seeds were very difficult to come by. Dr Nortier paid the local villagers £5 per matchbox of seeds collected. An aged Khoi woman found an unusual seed source: having chanced upon ants dragging seed, she followed them back to their nest and, on breaking it open, found a granary. Dr. Nortier's research was ultimately successful and he subsequently showed all the local farmers how to germinate their own seeds. The secret lay in scarifying the seed pods. Dr Nortier placed a layer of seeds between two mill stones and ground away some of the seed pod wall. Thereafter the seeds were easily propagated. Over the next decade the price of seeds soared to an astounding £80 a pound, the most expensive vegetable seed in the world, as farmers rushed to plant rooibos tea. Today, the seed is gathered by special sifting processes. Dr Nortier is today accepted as the father of the rooibos tea industry. Thanks to his research, rooibos tea, originally just an indigenous drink, became an iconic national beverage and then a globalized commodity recognised for its unique health properties. Rooibos tea production is today the economic mainstay of the Clanwilliam district. In 1948 The University of Stellenbosch awarded Dr Nortier an Honorary Doctorate D.Sc (Agria) in recognition for his valuable contribution to South African agriculture."
