This lilly pops up in my garden at about this time every year. It seems to thrive on neglect. :-) I'm about to head away again for a while. I may be able to get online briefly while away. For now though, I wish everyone all the very best and happy photography.

Back in August 2021 I posted some images of my Japanese geisha doll, given away as a promotional exercise with Minolta SR1 cameras back in the early 1960s - which was when I bought mine (see PiP). Over the years, Miss Minolta had lost her umbrella, but when she saw the images my lovely ipernity friend Pam J offered to make one for her. After various postage problems (covid related), the new umbrella arrived yesterday and both Miss Minolta and I are delighted and send Pam big huggss.

In the garden, made from recycled barbed fencing wire, resting on an old plough disk and other agricultural bits. Hibiscus flowers nearby. With Friday again imminent, I'll wish every one a very Happy Fence Friday and a safe and enjoyable weekend.

We have had a very welcome visit this weekend by our daughter and grand daughter, the first time in months (because of the virus) that it's been possible. My lovely grand daughter kindly agreed to sit for my camera.

Our grevillea bush is flowering, it cried out to be photographed when we at last had a little rain. Explored.
