I missed posting Adriennes word for Friday 20th which was Wave
And this week it is Circle
“Windmills Of Your Mind” was written by Legrand, Michel / Bergman, Alan / Bergman, Marilyn and sung by Sting in the film the Thomas Crown Affair.
Last week Week 25 I was zooming in and out up at the forge in the old quarry. Unfortunately for us it was closed but for Helelna’s meme I made my ZIZO of the lovely Sunflower that we had wanted to see up close & personal. Hooray for photo editing.
This week, who can believe that we are half way through the year with week 26! I have been Zooming in and out around my Philadelphus. Still trying to make the perfect picture.
I can’t resist another look through my lens at the beautiful blossom on this lovely shrub. It has been wonderful this year, I wish I could let you breath in the orange fragrance; it just says ‘summer evening’ to me.
This afternoon I wasn’t the only one enjoying the plant. I noticed a couple of ants running up and down with no apparent agenda, a few bees laden with pollen and a few thousand black fly just sitting there devouring a stem! I could have done with zooming out a bit more for these! The one little lady bird that I spotted will have her work cut out when/if she sees them!
Don’t you just love the bees with their heads right up inside the flower?
This lovely meme is Helena’s. I wonder what treasures I’ll find over at her blog this week?
Week 3
I am keeping up with Daisy Yellow’s prompts and am loving spending a little time each day playing with pencil & paper.
I was watching my son & his friends over the weekend faffing about with so much electronic equipment, ensuring this was charged, that had the latest update and don’t mention the various apps that had to be downloaded. I retreated quietly to my desk and got out some paper, paints and glue and had some time to myself smiling that I knew about pens, paper and crayons, a pencil sharpener and a rubber Hmmm now where are those scissors?…
Here are my days 15 – 21 in a slideshow again.

Week 2 and a new dwelling has been added to Colourful Close.
These are last weeks colours
I was inspired by Rinda to put some words on my little houses.
Hope House, No. 2, Colourful Close.
And the colours for Week 3
Comfort Cottage, No. 3, Colourful Close.
My beautiful dark plum (magenta with a tiny drop of grey) on the windows and doors looks black in the picture! and the grey looks blue! I’ll have to get the little houses outside for a proper photo shoot.
Thank you Kristin
It is week two of Daisy Yellow’s Index Card A Day challenge.
I have been inspired by Tammy’s prompts again. I love doing this project, it’s such fun to create on a small card every day. There are some amazing pieces of art linked to the ICAD flickr page.
I have made a slideshow of my cards for days 8 -14. They are all 6 x 4 plain cards or Gelli prints or I cut up some old manilla type folders I found during a clear out. In the spirit of the challenge, nothing fancy.
I do whatever pops into my mind when I read the prompt, the only theme I am doing is for the colour prompts. I want to use fabric.
