This is one of the ways Camille tells us she is ready to come inside; she appears at one of several windows with a look like this. We think looking in the windows also contributed to her decision to bring her 4 kittens to our door; we caught "that tabby" staring into our house on at least 3 occasions before she came with family in tow.

This month the (Freestyle on the Fifth (FOTF) theme was 'Letterbox'. The challenge was chosen by Gary.
This image was taken on a roadrip in the USA in 2013. I think it was on Route 66 between Sedona and Joshua Tree.
The most incredible sunset ripped through the sky and illuminated the line of ghostly letterboxes.
I really have no idea where the owners may have lived. It seemed we were in the middle of nowhere and were miles from civilization.
Maybe the letterboxes were safekeeping the letters for all those lost on the endless highway.....
Sorry I have to post and run. May not get to commenting until tomorrow.
Macro Mondays theme Lockdown Song - Love Starvation By Nick Lowe (2020 album Walkabout).
Warning - this song may cause an earworm (otherwise known as a stuck song syndrome) 😊
Heart shaped ice cube with red food dye on snow (ice cube 3 cm across and roughly 3.5cm in length). HMM!
For Macro Mondays theme: flowers in black and white
I really couldn't decide whether to post this original version [original except for b/w conversion and square crop] or one I softened in iPiccy. The softened photo looked prettier to me, but this version seemed more "true" to the flower. I finally chose this one for the MM group, but the soft one is my previous post -

The petals of these flowers really do look and feel like straw - shiny, hard, and somewhat crisp. I had often seen them in dried flower arrangements and bouquets in the fall and assumed their texture came from being dried. However, this nursery plant shows that their texture is natural - the flowers have the dried feel and appearance even as they bloom and grow. Interesting!

At Pashley Manor Gardens you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.
