8 October Strawberry Fields Forever

7 October Fruit

Wow! this is a "child size" real fruit ice cream.

Hydroponic strawberries. Seconds in the front . . . and would you believe, jam strawberries in the back!

6 October Trilliums

I love these. They disappear and I ignore them; then they pop up among the helebores looking magnificent.

5 October Hands

For today's topic I chose hands, which made me think of our last Weavers' Group meeting, I was watching my friend Jan making a "walking" braid with her fingers . . . and her feet as well!

 

4 October Plants

On a whim I had collected a handful of the small bulblets (or whatever they're called) from the stems of some lilies in my garden last year. I think every one of them must have grown. They were looking crowded in the two 6-part pots I had planted them in so this is the day I separated them out - all 60+ of them. Anyone want any lilies? (White ones I think/hope)

 

3 October Something Old

Staying with the Rock and Mineral show for the moment, here are two "something olds" - but that's OK because "something old" was on both of my lists.  I didn't ask how old these ammonite fossils are but I'm sure they fit the brief by several centuries. Below are fossilized sharks' teeth.

 

 

 

2 October Unexpected Colour

Unexpected Colour

Today I went to the National Rock and Mineral show, mainly because I had a free ticket for allowing them to put a promotional sign on my fence. I remembered that "unexpected colour" was one of the topics on my photo-a-day list so I jumped at the chance to take a pic of this petrified wood from Arizona. It really did stand out.
