TODAY'S FLOWERS & I Heart Macro - An unexpected gift

A friend came over to make a very special delivery,

I'll tell you more about that in some other post,

and brought this very beautiful pot full of

English Daisies

Sorry, phone shots as my Nikon has a tummy ache

the photos certainly don't live up to the original

these little flowers just exude happiness

with their smiling faces

I HEART Macro

SkyWatch - A Different Slant . . .

Yesterday I had the pleasure of staying with a friend at

North Haven with an unimpeded view of the sea as well as a 

mooring, at the other side of the house, on the Marina.

Another 43 C day but we managed to walk the dogs on the 

beach after sundown when a change started coming in with

very promising clouds.

At 4 a m  very light rain started, by breakfast time it was raining 

steadily and when I left for home just after morning tea,

it was coming down in buckets making driving a real hazard.

By the time I made it back home late in the afternoon, it looked a 

little disappointing as rainfall drops by an inch a mile as you travel 

East. I was pleasantly surprised though to see 14.5mm in the rain 

gauge and the cicadas singing an ode to joy.

The rain stopped by dinner-time but we are enjoying a thick, 

beautifully moist, fog.

I do hope everyone is getting their preferred weather and 

commiserate with the people in the South of England being

flooded for so long and even worse floods expected.

Back on Line - Happy Days are here again . . .

Again, it has been some time since I posted.

There have been some health issues to sort out as 

well as a few emotional ones to take care of.

Hope I'm back again now without any more hitches.

A shot of my ex-garden last winter

although this is at the same time, it puts springtime 

into my heart again.

My pensive companion, still a little overweight in this early shot.

He has lost the chubbiness he accumulated from his soft hearted

previous owner and continuous snacking.

Kookie has also learned a few manners since that time and

sticks to me like glue.

It is rather nice to have his company and raised voice 

when anyone comes near my yard.

Hope all of you, my friends, are well and happy.
