NOT SUCH NICE WEATHER of late, so not many photo’s … and yet walk I will … These were taken in the week of 3 December (so my apologies for the late upload). #PhotosUnedited
ABNORMAL: Ahhh, so this is what you call a Road House.ISLAND OF DREAMS … not in the normal sense of the word, and yet … sometime somewhere someone dreamed of having an office / housing development here so I suppose yes, this could be referred to as that.FELLOW TRAVELLER: I have absolutely no idea who this is …. suffice to say he’s a fellow walker on the same trail. Oh, and his shirt matches the blue sky.SLIPPER-RY SLOPE: Recently, our beloved City / Metro was held to ransom and was indeed on a slippery slope. These were found alongside the high pile of rubbish that was growing steadily near our work place.PRETTY IN PINK: I love nature – it is so resilient. Look at these pretty little blooms pushing through regardless of the hardships it will face along the way – yes, they know that once they have broken through the hard soil, the rubble and rubbish, they will see sunlight. (Life Lesson?)SPREADING HAPPINESS: These 2 plants, being of the same plant genus could have grown right next to each other where they would have probably been more comfortable. And yet … they choose to live slightly spread out from each other so as to spread a bit of happiness.JUST DANDY – Whoever refers to Dandelions as being weeds doesn’t know their strength (tongue in cheek for that one).TALKING TREES: Can you sense or even see the movement of the trees in this one?PECULIAR PATCHWORK: Scattered here and there are these lovely petunias. At least I think they are petunias.TRIPLE TREAT: Look at those colours ….WITH A PINCH OF SALT: If the contents of this little sachet were scattered on the ground then I suppose they could be called the salt of the earth.NATURAL: No rubbish that I can see here so for once, nature can be natural.BULBOUS: I wonder that this is going to become.GREENERY: This might be weeds and yet it’s greenery adds to the beauty.MISPLACED FOCUS: Pity this plant is a bit blurry – but I suppose it makes for a colour burst in this photo any way.BEE(N) THERE DONE THAT: It looks like there is a little bee in this one.STALKER: I wonder if these plants think that I am one of these considering I am always taking photo’s of either them directly or of their friends.BARREN YET BREAKING THROUGH: Well done little soldier plants for striving to make a difference in this near-barren piece of land.
CHRONICLES OF A WALKING WOMAN - Week 8 Day's 1 & 2
1 of 19
WEEK 7 - WOW! And am still enjoying the walking and the capturing of random moments in time.
GOING NOWHERE SLOWLY - Extremely slowly, in fact, this truck is going so slow .... it's at a stop.
ISLAND OF DREAMS: Well, not the normal dreams most of us have about Islands, but someone's dream is becoming a reality ... I mean, someone must have had a dream about building here.
FELLOW TRAVELLER: Have no idea who this is or from whence he comes, but ... there he is.
SLIPPING UP: What once upon a not-that-very-long-ago these were someones comfort ... now they are a point of derision ... not that they've done anything wrong, it's just that they are one more item in the pile of rubbish near here.
PRETTY IN PINK: There are so many different plants that have taken root along this route (LOL!) and I am clueless about just about all of them. Sort of like some love to read books and some just like to look at the pictures - in this instance, I am the picture type.
PURPLE POSERS: Lovely little blooms these.
SUNSHINE FROM THE GROUND UP: Most do not like these plants - and yet, the provide a short, little burst of sunshine, I think.
O TANNENBAUM: Bland but beautiful.
SOWING THE SEEDS: Love to see such colour spread around.
PECULIAR PETUNIAS: Purple or lilac? I don't know - but I know they are gorgeous!
QUESTIONABLE: So if this was an open salt sachet that had spilled it's contents onto the ground, should I then caption this one "The Salt of the Earth?"
JUST BE YOURSELF a la natural
BULBOUS: Wonder what this will look like?
GREENERY: There are so many shades / varieties of green ... all of them so lovely
LOSING FOCUS: Yes, I know - I am supposed to be concentrating on my walking .. and yet I have to stop and smell the roses - pity there aren't any of these on my route.
LONELY LITTLE PETUNIA IN A PUMPKIN PATCH - well, who knows - pumpkins could sprout from here in the future ...
DON'T STALK - I wonder what the joke was as this stalk split itself in two laughing ...
TWIN PEAKS - Ok, that's extreme - but twins all the same - little lilac / purple (I can never tell the difference) buddies.
