Five Senses Friday

 

Seeing: 

This morning we went to our, very “small town” Canada Day parade. Lot’s of red and white in the parade as well as in the crowd.

Hearing: 

This…amazing!

One track of cricket “chirping” has been slowed down and the other has been left as we normally hear it.

 

Tasting: 

Mr. I made yummy gluten free scones for my birthday and I had THIS instead of birthday cake…oh my goodness…

…scones with a hint of orange zest, Devonshire clotted cream and Bonne Maman Strawberry Jam.  YUM!  This is a once a year treat that I swoon over. 

(Be still my heart.)

 

Smelling: 

(Still obsessing about the above dessert…my taste buds have overwhelmed the scent buds!)  We have a deep pink climbing rose that bloomed today with a lovely sweet scent.  I wish I could remember what it's called but the tag was removed when we planted it last year.

 

Feeling:

a) Warm for a change.  I was decidedly chilly this morning, standing at the parade but the sun is shining this afternoon…sweet! 

and b) love…

I hope your weekend is off to a great start!

Neither have I, kate (heard anything like this). The two tracks fit together so well. It is hard to believe it is only crickets--amazing! Have a wonderful weekend, xoO

PS I am alone for the 4th of July so I'm taking my camera out and seeing what I come up with.

Focal Point This is obviously a theme I’m on these days as I've just realized I wrote a post with the title “Focus” not long ago. Although I photographed these Irises several weeks ago, I didn’t care for the composition, so didn’t post it at the time. I haven’t had my Nikon out in awhile so as I was trolling through my files today for something I might have missed, I checked this one out again. (Maybe it improved with age? Maybe my eye wouldn't be quite so critical?) I did a little cropping to look at it from different aspects…first the...

Field of Abundant Potential It’s July! We’re half way through the year (already!)…and summer is here for those of us in the northern half of the world. With the earth bursting in a riot of new growth, it’s a time of abundant potential. When I think about it, I realize that there are so many possiblities, so much potential, so many flowers in life that we don’t pick. That’s not necesarily a negative thing…we can’t pick every flower that blooms…but the potential is still there. There's so much potential and for most of it, we either don’t see it, ignore it or we choose...
