Orderly

touch, smell, remember

how did life get so busy

miss beachcombing days

 

All these shells and pieces of coral were collected in Abu Dhabi in January 2014.

Two weeks of warm sunshine, sitting on the beach, wandering slowly along the shoreline, knitting, reading and arranging shells ……. ah! ………… sigh …….

You might recognize some pieces that have been used in my shell pictures.

My entry for our One-A-Week Photo Challenge, this week’s prompt: ORDERLY

combining with

Ronovan’s weekly Haiku Challenge: TOUCH and MISS

I could happily spend days arranging collections of objects in an orderly fashion – how about you?

It has been so good to do this Round-Up – a great way to catch up with all the wonderful entries. Thank you so much to all of you who have entered a photo. Please let me know if I have missed any – August skidded by and I was pedalling hard to keep up.

Cathy and I look forward to seeing all the interesting variety of takes on the September Subjects. As Cathy says, “HAPPY SNAPPING!”

 

Honeysuckle and Rosehips

The scent of honeysuckle floating in a dish, glowing in the morning sunlight

so beautiful to wake up to.

And just because I love lichen …… I found this in the woods when I was gathering material to create …. well it turned out to be Mrs Moss 

Silent Sunday: Walkies!

Silly Saturday Aliens

You earthlings are really quite mad

Surely yoga is just a strange fad?

Standing still like a tree

Is alien to me

It’ s not the best fun that I’ve had

 

You say it helps you relax?

I think I’ve put out my back!

All this stretching and bending

Is torture never-ending

I’m sure I can feel my bones crack!

 

poem by Judy E Martin

of Edwina’s Episodes

 

Another fun creative collaboration between Judy and me. I do hope you are enjoying our ‘Silly Saturdays’ as much as we are enjoying putting them together.

Appropriate, as my back is giving me jip and, later today, I’m off the see if the Osteopath can CRACK my bones back into shape. Wish me luck!

For a humourous look at life go to Edwina’s Episodes and read Judy’s brilliant book: “Rhymes of the Times”.

(I am still having problems with ‘Photos’ on my computer, so I can not always edit as I would like – hence the top photo being quite dark)

The size so far:

I think it will be about a meter across when finished and might be used as a tabelcloth for an octagonal table I have in the sitting room –  although after each round I look at it (a lot!), stroke it and imagine it framed on the wall – Yes I’m in love!!!

Does anyone else just have to stroke their yarny or sewing projects?
