WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is P and  Plentiful.  You can see in the  first three images the flowers are PURPLE and that the Thistle has PRICKLY leaves.  Then there are a PAIR of Mallard ducks, followed by a PINE tree with a PLENTIFUL supply of POINTED needles.  That is followed by a Dallia flower head made up of a PLENTIFUL number of PETALS

 On one of the walls is a PLENTIFUL harvest of PEARS and the PROTECTIVE PLASTIC cover will hopefully help to keep the frost away from the PEACH tree.  I spied this PERSON PICKING the apples and admired the  fountain with the water POURING over its edges.  As I was walking home I PASSED PINKERTON'S POOCH stop dish for dogs to have a drink.  My final image is a PEACEFUL scene with a PERFECT REFLECTION.

TiI hope you enjoyed this post today.

I appreciate your visit and comments.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter Z in a word. Bangor Marina has ZILLIONS of boats in it costing even more ZILLIONS of pounds!  Lemon ZEST is the yellow outside portion of its peel. It's often used with or without lemon juice to add tangy flavor to recipes. The SIZE of a Bumble Bee is small and this one was BUZZING from flower to flower. 

I hope you enjoyed walking with me today.

I appreciate your visit and comments.

To update you on my knee injury, I have a torn ligament which is going to take months to heal but with exercise I will get there

I have an apology to make, last Saturday I DELETED the comments you kindly had sent.

I may not be able to comments as much as usual as I seem to be busier with my many groups so that no one gets cabin fever, so I hope you understand that.

Difficult times for everyone so stay safe.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS and THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

 Time for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup and this week it is letter C and Couple and I start with a C in hedge form.  Then other than the last one of a COUPLE, the others were taken on one of my walks from my old CARAVAN.

There are a COUPLE of bees and below is my old CARAVAN. She is 26 years old but looks the same inside and I love it as it is in the countryside overlooking the sea.  Now I have CATTLE in the field, COWS and CALVES.

Along the COUNTRY road is a beautiful COUNTRY COTTAGE and some of the fields have CROPS of potatoes and also a CROP of barley. Then we come to a CURVE in the road and come to Ballydorn Lightship where the Down CRUISING CLUB meet and my REFECTION  image

Back to the CARAVAN and this is part of my view from the front window and perhaps you can see Sketrick CASTLE over on the other side of the water.  Finally a COUPLE I photographed in Ireland just after their wedding.  Look at her CUTE wedding shoes and the flowers COVERING on her shoes.

I have just returned from my old caravan were I do not have Internet and am about to now travel to Scotland so I want to thanks all who left comments and I am sorry this summer I am going to be away a lot and unfortunately I have not the time to comment on your posts.

I hope you continue to visit as I am hoping to schedule my posts in for you to look at.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS and THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.  This week it is the letter B Favourite and Building. I found this BOOKMARKet and of course I had to go in and take a photograph of the BOOKS.  Later I came across BELLFIELD House and Garden sign sitting on this BENCH and on the forth image you can see a BELL on the wall and a BARROW filled with plants.

Can you see her?  

Look closely she is sitting still as a statue on her nest and in the image below of the BELLFIELD BUILDINGS, she is near the roof at the last window on the right among the roses. Later the BIRD flew out and I managed to get a BRILLIANT view of her.  She  is a Spotted Flycatcher.  I also saw this BARN.

I will end with these BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS like purple BALLS and
 a BEE on one flower. 

 I think this last one is my FAVOURITE this week.  

Oops! I nearly forgot my REFLECTION image

 and this was taken in one of the gardens.

Many thanks for visiting and also commenting.
