Flowers in bread oven
You have to smile, don’t you? Whenever I’ve done one of Jake’s challenges, I’ve always sang along to myself as I selected the images. Don’t ask me why, but it’s become a habit. I didn’t spot this challenge till late in the week so even by my standards it’s a bit late for a Sunday Post.
What am I singing? Well, I was humming away to an old tune “Where have all the flowers gone? Long time passing”… I don’t know if you know it, but when I got to the line “gone to graveyards everyone” I realised what a very sad song of war it is. And that just won’t do. So, determined to make you smile, I’m singing the Move’s “Flowers in the rain”. Far more appropriate for many of us, I’m sure you’ll agree?
Yes, it rains in the Algarve, but it’s still beautiful!
I think I may have seen these in England, too
It’s always amazing what you can find in the hedgerows
Just growing completely wild and beautiful
- Or tamed in the landscape
I found this pretty fellow shining in some bushes
But I always love a “pop” of colour
So we’ll end in the rain. This might just be the guy for me!
As ever, I hope you enjoyed my singing. You’re quite lucky not to be sitting here in the front room, with me! Please give Jake a little of your time and attention. His graphics are totally inspiring (unlike my singing).
