Monday photos of the week June 22, 2009
Saw this flower walking to a grocery store, not as bright as it is here but still very pretty. Wish I had something to cut it with so I could try to get a cutting to grow :)
It rained. No wait. It poured down rain for a good chunk of the afternoon. Little rivers in the street the rain was coming down so fast. But it makes for some nice photos once the sun come out :)
Only the one plant has the white flowers on it, shame as they are really nice.
And more fuchsias :) This pot is going to be just a explosion of purple and red when all of the buds decide to bloom.
And Mr.F's tomatoe plants. One or two have died but the rest seem to be doing well. We did have some of the pots on top of the big drain lid to the left, but when the builder came to check the drains he said we are actually lucky that they drain lid didn't blow. Could have had tomatoe plants go flying 6 feet in the air :p And while I would think thats funny, I don't want to explain to the council why there are tomatoe plants on the roof :p (Mr.F suggests aliens)Scottish word of the week:

ReplyDeletelol nope :D but it would make more sense if that was what it meant then what it does mean :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, and I can almost taste those tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing what you draw/paint on that black paper. Back in the day, there was just, well, paper, hahaha! Now there is so much choice that the paper becomes a living part of the art!
Thanks for visiting! The cats are settling in and they're real characters! :) xxx
