I have lots of rhododendron plants growing on our property and because they were there before we owned the home, I had to research what makes a rhododendron an azalea. Apparently, it's in the number of stamens and this little one, I felt, met the azalea criteria for having only 5 stamens. I made a little arrangement using a small succulent branch and placed them in a sake shot glass.
My white Azalea is in full flower at the moment. The flowers are some 6cm across in size. HMM on a cool and rainy day in Melbourne
Since his last appearance, some three years ago, Taz has spent most of his time on a shelf eating dust. When I took note of this week's theme, I reviewed all my options as there were so many Zed around just like that orange zest standing in a basket, I was lost in my thoughts when my casting agent came just in time to remind me that Taz was still waiting for that role I had promised him. It all suddenly went clear in my mind as I knew Taz would eat anything in his path, I had my shooting sequence. As I was collecting items for my setup a smile crossed my face, I was longing to see his expression when he'll be facing this bitter orange zest standing in his way :)
Zest is a food ingredient that is prepared by scraping or cutting from the rind of unwaxed citrus fruits such as lemon, orange, citron, and lime. Zest is used to add flavour to foods.
In terms of fruit anatomy, the zest is obtained from the flavedo (exocarp) which is also referred to as zest. The flavedo and white pith (albedo) of a citrus fruit together makes up its peel. The amounts of both flavedo and pith are variable among citrus fruits, and may be adjusted by the manner in which they are prepared. Citrus peel may be used fresh, dried, candied, or pickled in salt.
The Tasmanian Devil (also spelt Tazmanian Devil) commonly referred to as Taz, is an animated cartoon character featured in the Warner Bros Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. Though the character appeared in only five shorts before Warner Bros Cartoons shut down in 1964, marketing and television appearances later propelled the character to new popularity in the 1990s. Source Wikipedia.
Taz is generally portrayed as a ferocious, albeit dim-witted, carnivore with a notoriously short temper and little patience. He got his name in the short Ducking the Devil. Though he can be very devious, he is also sweet at times. His enormous appetite seems to know no bounds, as he will eat anything in his path. He is best known for his speech consisting mostly of grunts, growls, and rasps (in his earlier appearances, he does speak English with primitive grammar) as well as his ability to spin like a vortex and bite through nearly anything. Taz does have one weakness: he can be calmed by almost any music. While in this calm state, he can be easily dealt with. The only music known not to pacify Taz is the bagpipes, which he finds insufferable. Source Wikipedia.

So many options but none of my photos were feeling like art. NoZZle of a fire hose, noZZle of a garden hose, Zucchini in seltZer water, the liZard. So since this ends with Zed, galvaniZed it is.

Nina Simone - I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl
My mother was always amused by the collections of tea and coffee toy sets, made of porcelain.
These games during my mom's life, were inherited by my daughter, with whom she loved to drink her coffee (she), the little one a cocoa, while I illustrated her with children's stories and made up stories, which they wrote during the week that I had to travel for work, and they took advantage of what they saw in the park, at school and the girl wrote it in a notebook that she adorned with drawings, which showed me excited when we merged again in a hug.
I love to remember all this with this photo in memory of her.
It is done in low key with one of the mini porcelain cups, which I have mentioned.
The measurements in the photo are width 6.9 cm, height 4cm
I hope you like it.
I thank you in advance for your visit and the favs. Happy week everyone.

Quiero un poco de azúcar en mi tazón
Necesito sentir dulzura en mi alma
Cómo tener algo de amor del bueno
.........
Me siento tan rara, me siento triste
Tal vez pueda arreglar las cosas ....
I want some sugar in my bowl
I need to feel sweetness in my soul
How to have some good love
.........
I feel so weird, I feel sad
Maybe I can fix things ...

Voglio dello zucchero nella mia ciotola
Ho bisogno di sentire la dolcezza nella mia anima
Come avere un po 'di buon amore

Mi sento così strano, mi sento triste
Forse posso aggiustare le cose ...

The zip on my rain prove windcheater, which isn't that rain proof. It's also dark green rather than grey as it seems to look in the photo.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

This lovely bracelet watch is useless as a timepiece as the weight of it slides out of sight. The coin face lacks contrast making it impossible to read for someone with poor vision. It does, however, provide us with three bezels: the one on the watch face itself and the two supporting the chunky pieces of turquoise.
