WeekLforLookingIn

Over on Bluesky Sheena, a Glaswegian living in Northern Ireland, curates a weekly photographic challenge. I have been participating in these challenges for a couple of months It gives me an opportunity to dig into my rather large snapshot archive and share a few images to the weekly theme related to a letter of the alphabet.

Last week's theme for the challenge was WeekLforLookingIn. I initially thought this would be a  big challenge but the Windows, Doors and Teeth tags in my photo archive found me a good range of images to share.

Last week's theme for the challenge was WeeKforKn. It was a rather challenging week. I have an impressive set of Knockers, other than that just  a few images tagged as Kneelers, Knights and Knitting. I thank my Personal Assistant at ChatGPT for creating several collages for this challenge.

I didn't find a Bagpipe knocker in Scotland, these will have to suffice.

Too Late for Camellias

 As sit, work and ponder in my study I am privileged to have a view of our large front garden.

It's not too often that I take a walk around that garden. On returning from an outing on Saturday I made the time to take a stroll around and admire the work Mr GeniAus does to maintain this space.

Down on of our side boundaries we have an avenue of mature Camellias that are magnificent when in bloom. I'm sorry that I didn't do this walk a month ago when they were at their best. The few roses we have haven't woken up yet either and the gardenias are also sleeping. There was still plenty to see. 

Please take a virtual walk with me and view some upclose shots. I'll leave wider views for another day.

WeekJforJocular

I have been participating in these challenges for a couple of months It gives me an opportunity to dig into my rather large snapshot archive and share a few images to the weekly theme related to a letter of the alphabet.

Last week's theme for the challenge was WeekJforJocular so I went hunting in  my archive for images that tickled my funny bone. I resisted sharing the photos I had tagged as "Funny Faces" lest I offend someone whose facial expressions had made me laugh.

I seem to have a large collection of funny signs, these media figure largely in this "J" post. I wonder if they will raise a few smiles.

Found in my Family History files. Column 8 was a regular column in our morning newspaper - The Sydney Morning Herald, R J Ball is closely related to me.
