Cee Neuner has very interesting prompts. This week’s is MONOTONES. Love it.
Lake Annagmakerrig: 4:30 a.m., 8 November 2018 (Just realized that it’s too light in the photograph for 4:30 a.m. DUH! The photo is time-stamped for California time, which is eight hours ahead of Ireland. The actual time in Ireland when self took the picture was 12:30 p.m.)
It amuses self to think about how the first color that usually comes to mind when one thinks of Ireland is green.
Clouds, Annaghmakerrig: 7:30 a.m. (California time, which means 3:30 p.m. in Ireland), 7 November 2018
Fatsia, Backyard, Redwood City: 11 a.m., 26 September 2018

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is PILES AND STACKS.
A few days ago, self showed stacks of books.
Today, since she was just at the Redwood City Farmers Market, she’s showing stacks of produce. Everything from cactus to organic chips.

The parade is always fun. Afterwards, the Leland Stanford, Jr. University Marching Band and the UC Davis Marching Band hung around in Courthouse Square and gave a real show. Didn’t leave until the Stanford band played “All Right Now.”

Self is so fascinated by this twisted vine, which was only revealed after she did heavy cutting back of some overgrown bushes:

Self took these pictures early May.
In the long-ago time, the tree trunk was shipped from the Philippines, and the iron trellis leaning against it was from Smith & Hawken.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

A humble plant growing by the kitchen sink. Self drapes it over the window frame to keep out of her way while she washes dishes:
Wednesday afternoon
Still Wednesday Afternoon
