FRIDAY'S HUNT and WEEKEND REFLECTION - S. Africa and Malawi

This week for FRIDAY’S HUNT and WEEKEND REFLECTIONS we have the letter Z Reflection and The End.  I will really miss the challenge of Teresa’s meme and it has been wonderful to be part of it and it will be sadly missed.  Below is a mother ZEBRA and her foal photographed in South Africa as is the Elephant.  The Sunset was photographed in Malawi.

SUNDAY THOUGHT - Open Arms Orphanage Malawi

Jesus called the children to him and said,

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 

Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

Luke 18: 16 & 17

Photographed at the Open Arms Orphanage in Malawi.

FRIDAY'S HUNT and WEEKEND REFLECTION - Malawi

Once again it is time for FRIDAYS’ HUNT and WEEKEND REFLECTIONS.  

The prompts are the letter X, Craft and Growing.  Now you have to be very clever and perhaps squint your eyes to be able to see the large X in the image below.  This wall made totally of empty bottles is the most original form of CRAFT I have seen in a good long while but in Malawi they make use of everything they can.  

You can see in this shot above this time they have used the bottles to make a hedge for a vegetable plat where you see some plants GROWING.

I leave you with a REFLECTION image taken at sunset at Lake Malawi.

Many thanks for visiting and also for all the comments you leave.

FRIDAY'S HUNT and WEEKEND REFLECTIONS -Malawi

This week on FRIDAY’S HUNT and WEEKEND REFLECTIONS the prompts are the letter V, Wood and Festive. Below is Judith's VEGETABLE man and every week he comes and lays out what vegetables he has to offer and often when we are going through villages we are also offered various VEGETABLES to buy and you can see I managed to get a REFLECTION shot in the third image below.

V is also for VERANDA which you can see here and most of this building is made of WOOD.  The tree is of course also WOOD.

To finish with, we have a FESTIVE scene with a fireplace in my drawing room decorated with a Christmas garland and beside it is my FESTIVE Christmas tree.

Many thanks for visiting and also to all who leave comments.
