Joining others in this Sunday Selection mix of photo-dumps.
From The Highriseamong others.
A painting of my daughter's house which I just bought for Daughter for her birthday. I absolutely love it and so will she. Her house also overlooks the ocean where hundreds of whales come in every summer. The pond reflected is a duck pond.
Orchids and African violets - what more could a spirit need?
Apart from a shelf of unread books? All these gifted from our annual Jolabokaflod plus a couple from the local library.
An old shot from my front garden as a boat heads out to the open sea.
A great collection, so many scenes that just please the heart and soul. Your daughter's home must be an amazing place...seeing whales! A shelf of books, flowers, and memories, all good things.
ReplyDeleteA cheerful Sunday indeed GS, we all need more of them!

What a great painting and what a place to live.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone call Sea Shepherd or similar about rescuing the abandoned iceberg? Coastguard?
I find the coastguard vessels quite heartless when it comes to these abandoned berg babies. They say the mothers have disappeared without a trace.

Stunning views. It makes me realize (and even a little ashamed) that this is the only province in Canada I have not visited. Maybe next year……
ReplyDeleteOh you would love it here David. I can see you falling in love with the puffins.

A lot of lovely books to keep you occupied. I like the boat heading out to sea.
ReplyDeleteI love me the books River, I don't know what I'd do without a healthy supply.

All lovely. And the painting for your daughter is amazing. As is that row of books.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing the painting. Oil on 16" by 20" canvas. Her house is very paintable.

The Jolabokaflod sounds like a very nice event. I hope the beby berg will soon be reunited with it's mom. You live in a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteYes, I count myself very lucky to be surrounded with such beauty Charlotte.

Your Barbara Kingsolver book reminds me of being in a very rural area of Australia in 2008 and enjoying the company of an elderly couple, the man said during our conversation-“you may have heard of my daughter, Barbara Kingsolver?”
ReplyDeleteI shook my head, in 2008 I’d never heard of her!
I came home and read The Poisonwood Bible “ and boy, was I ashamed of my ignorance and what I’d said to him!”
A couple of weeks ago, i would also have had a couple of shelves full of books to read, someday. Finally come to the realization that most would not be read, they were delivered to the library for an upcoming book sale. I have found that going to the library for books to read and being able to return is much better than having them take up space in our apt.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
