be still...winter days











 
1| winter sky and glowing leaves, only a few left now.
 
2| our spikey cactus plant thingy has flowered for the first time ever and that thing is huge!!...at least 15 feet high...and appeared overnight...kinda creepy.
 
3| all my favourite colours!
 
4&5| my flower child...she thinks tinkerbell is in every flower so they all get torn apart with her screeching for the fairy to come out pleeeaaasse!.
 
6| our view across to town...it shows us something different everyday.
 
7&8| winter sunrises...I see way too many of these. I remember as a kid my dad always telling me its the best time of day...blow me down he`s right you know.
 
9&10| morning tea at nannas house...yes its always served like this. I made the lemon syrup cake. I burnt the sides but I believe it could pass as being caramelised. was yum with ice cream!
 
11| sharing (kind of) marshmallows with Pa and dolly. Pa hates them but dutifully eats them...best Pa ever!
 
 
sharing with new mamma Em

hope you are all staying warm or for my pals in blighty, hope your kickin it up in the sunshine!

    Lovely photos, as always. I love the part about Pa hating marshmallows but eating them anyway. We grandparents are so lucky to have little ones who want to feed us and drag us around by the hand and climb all over us. Eating marshmallows is a small price to pay, I say! I bet Pa agrees. :)

    I think the slightly burnt cake sides definitely passes for caramelisation, love your shots of the morning skies.

    Well, Al (Leibovitz) you've done it again - so many fab pics over the past week or so. Can't decide which are my favs, but those two with the smiling brown eyes always make my heart skip a beat or three.
    The tea cosy is the prettiest I've ever seen "in all me born days". What a sweet pretty creature!
    Have much envy of those Grandies being able to see their delightful grandchildren so often.

    Oh, those sunsets are spectacular! Morning tea looks splendid served that way. How lovely! We get quite a similar treat when we go for afternoon tea with great grandma, but it's coffee in these parts :) Your cake looks marvellous!
