River has been doing Sunday Selections for a while now, and I’ve finally decided to join in. YAY!
I have a multitude of old photo folders that need to be sorted through and named, so I thought this might be a good way to inspire me to get on with the sorting. I also have some backups of old computers with folders that need to be sorted through.
This week I have chosen to share a couple of recent photos. Last Sunday this was the sky we saw as we were walking in to do our fortnightly grocery shop.
Would you like to join in? The rules are very simple:-
1. post photos of your choice, old or new, under the Sunday Selections title
2. link back to River at Drifting Through Life, somewhere in your post
3. leave River a comment so that she knows you’ve joined in and can come over and see what you’ve posted.
Weekly Wrap Up –
Many years ago I used to do a weekly wrap up here on the blog. It went on holiday in November of 2007 and it must have been a very long holiday, perhaps around the world on a very slow boat! I think this could be a good time for the holiday to end. We’ll give it a try for a few weeks, anyway, see how it goes.
Posts Snoskred Enjoyed –
long-term post-wls eating: it’s complicated – Good on you Dawn – 138 pounds lost is an awesome achievement!
Stuff – Brilliant stuff, I say! :)
IT Reflections: Apple Photos, Cake Fails, Zomato, Blog Updates and Quicklinks – I love the castle cakes. :) Even the one someone considered to be a “fail” which I consider to be an epic win – if I could make a cake half that incredible, I’d be thrilled!
Judgers are gonna judge, haters are gonna hate.. Me personally, I leave the judgments to Judge Judy. She gets paid big dollars to judge. All the other people doing it are small time compared to her! When they get paid millions, that is when I’ll bother to listen to their judgments. Until then, one persons cake fail is another persons cake awesome. :)
The Beast Eats – I loved the video on this post, it is only 20 seconds long. :)
Can you fix this curtain, too? – I want me a serving of sea friends!
Your Afternoon X-Files – My human friends, this is a moment we have been waiting for – Scully and Mulder return.
My First Mosaic – Meshel made an amazing sugar skull mosaic! The border is my favourite part but I am a huge fan of gold.. ;) I really want to do this sometime. This is another kind of art you don’t need to be able to draw for. :) I might sign up for a local class with my birthday money.
a private show – Some gorgeous wildlife photos here, well worth a look. The train and the tunnel is my favourite as well! ;)
Icebergs – An excellent post from Leah, I think everyone should read it. :)
Please Pass The Mustard – I’ve never thought of making my own mustard but I just might after reading this post. ;)
And finally, baby pigs! YAY!!
Blog Spotlight –
Each week, I will link to a blog I am reading to shine a spotlight on it and tell you what I like about it. This week –
Angry people in local newspapers –
This blog highlights something you may have noticed in your local newspaper – angry people! If someone has a problem in their community and they went to the local paper about it, they might be asked to pose angrily. You can submit angry photos from your local newspaper as well. I submitted one back in April – Slasher anger.
Here On The Blog –
We had a bit of a visual feast this week – we took a look at my DVD shelves, my collectibles cabinets, the ecosystem on the roof of our chook pen, and our new fire pit in this post Long Weekending.
I went back in my memory to tell you about getting kicked out of art class in high school and showed you some of my art and my art room with this post Adult Colouring In & Art.
We took a closer look at one of my collectible cabinets with this Cabinetry post.
You got to see some of my art room wall art in this post – The Art Room.
And finally, we took a look at my new SodaStream with this post –
SodaStream Saturday #1
Past Snoskred –
Take a moment to revisit my third ever post on the blog – People You Know.
Coming Up –
This week on Monday you’ll see a how to guide, Wednesday we have cabinetry take two, Friday I’ll tell you about a phrase we use often in this household, Saturday another SodaStream Post, then on Sunday our new Sunday Selections post.
Love those skies. It might even make grocery shopping pleasant.
Goodness you have been busy this week.
I’m in a writing phase at the moment which is awesome, I’ve needed to get my go back. :)
The skies are so beautiful here just lately, almost every night there is a gorgeous sunset. I must take more photos of them!
Aw, thanks for the mention!! And those are some pretty pictures. :)
You’re very welcome, Dawn! :) I really enjoy your blog.
So if you DO make mustard you’ll let us know, right?
Absolutely I will, Kathy! I probably have to do it now that I’ve said I might. I’m hoping maybe I can create a version the other half might like because he is not a mustard fan in most cases, but he loves Honey and Mustard chicken.. :)
There are so many angry people! I find it a draining emotion. Your photos of the sky are glorious.
There are a lot of people who use their anonymous internet persona to take out their frustrations on other people. :/ Me, I use my internet persona for good, as much as possible anyway! ;)
I love your sunset skies! That’s what I was hoping for on my walk, but the clouds were too thick for the sun I think. There may have been colour after I got home, but I was in the shower by then :(
Thanks for joining in.
It was so beautiful and for once, I think my camera on the phone actually captured what I was seeing. Sometimes I take the photo and it doesn’t look as amazing. :)
Thanks for your kind words on my cakes – and thanks for visiting – am getting too distracted browsing around your blog – if only there was more time for blog reading I would read more!
You’re welcome Johanna – I loved the cake and would love to make one like that with my niece some day. :)
