      Red is the ultimate cure for sadness.~Bill Blass

      For this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge, we’re inviting you to a photo scavenger hunt to find things that are red.

      • Red and white coasters
      New motorbike

      In Afrikaans we say:

      “‘n Oulap se rooi is mooi.”

      Meaning :just a spot of red makes things beautiful.

      Last day of the year 2019


        The last day of 2019 is done and dusted. Everybody is waiting for the big bang of midnight.

        I’ve taken some photos of my surroundings this afternoon. It was a hot day and the sheep and cows came up early to the gate to be fed.

        The valley below.

        Sheep in the paddock.

        Trompie sniffing around.

        I completed my jig saw puzzle today, put some pen on paper and some scrap booking which I want to finish off tomorrow.

        Happy New Year to all! Enjoy your last moments of 2019.

          Friendly Friday Photo Challenge: Revisited


          Revisited

          A visit from a dear friend. I met Amanda, my special blog friend, and her daughter Heidi in 2013. I showed them around Upper Hutt and we had a lovely time together. It was as if we’re old friends. We couldn’t stop talking.

          Anne Frank Tree[edit]

          A famous specimen of the horse-chestnut was the Anne Frank Tree in the centre of Amsterdam, which she mentioned in her diary and which survived until August 2010, when a heavy wind blew it over.[22][23] Eleven young specimens, sprouted from seeds from this tree, were transported to the United States. After a long quarantine in Indianapolis, each tree was shipped off to a new home at a notable museum or institution in the United States, such as the 9/11 Memorial Park, Central H.S. in Little Rock, and two Holocaust Centers. One of them was planted outdoors in March 2013 in front of the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, where they were originally quarantined. [3]
