It is time for the SPSH second link up; many thanks to Mary-Lou at Patio Postcards for hosting this!
These are the photos I have for the SPSH in July. I will say upfront that several of the photos were taken by my daughter from a moving car because I was driving at the time!
No. 3: Something to Represent Home But Not the Building: A batik wall hanging depicting the Kandy Esala Perehara (an annual religious/cultural procession in Sri Lanka) which hangs on my family room wall. It represents home on a couple of different levels.

I love all of your photos Bless. I recognise all of the landmarks - Universal Studios tour is on my wish list once travel is safe.
ReplyDeleteObviously the photos of Dancer are the best but I do like your wall hanging of the Sri Lankan procession.
Thank you, Eileen. :) Dancer says you are obviously someone who appreciates the finer things in life! :D
DeleteWhat a brilliant list of categories and you have some great photos for them. I have to chuckle at Dancer's expressions, he clearly doesn't approve of being photographed! Might you have a photo of milk rice with accompaniment for a Breakfast of champions?
ReplyDeleteWe had such a long walk around the beach yesterday and came back where we started and went a way the other direction. Then it came time to walk back up the hill and it was humid by then. Lots of pauses to rest! It's humid today too, and we had a lot of rain in the night. My almost ripe tomato has blossom end rot, which is probably why no critter has attempted to eat it!
Thank you, Bushlady. Dancer says he is a serious thinker who has no time for frivolities such as posing for pictures! :D I was thinking of taking a picture of milk rice for breakfast, but, forgot to take a picture when I made it last - especially after burning the first batch!
DeleteGlad you enjoyed such a long walk, yesterday! Sorry to hear about the blossom end rot on the tomatoes - maybe too much rain?
I love you wall hanging. Another time you will have to tell us more Kandy Esala Perehara.
ReplyDeleteSo you live near many things I've seen on TV and in the movies for years!
Thank you, June; the Kandy Perehara was something I used to go to watch, practically every year. Yes, maybe I'll do a post about it. :)
DeleteI used to live in Hollywood, itself, for many years, when I first moved to California. :)
Bless thanks for joining in with SPSH (& thank your daughter for also participating). I like your Batik, such a beautiful piece of art. Oh Dancer makes me smile too. WOW, you do live by so many notable landmarks.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed participating in the SPSH, Mary-Lou; thank you for hosting it and for allowing my daughter to participate, too. I wouldn't have been able to take those photos for the landmarks, for example, if I had to take them, myself.
DeleteUniversal Studios! Sunset Boulevard! It all sounds so exciting and far away!
ReplyDeleteUniversal Studios is a fun place to visit. Sunset Boulevard isn't quite as exciting. But, it's all good. :)
DeleteIt might not be particularly interesting, just a road, but it's a lovely name, very evocative and has inspired a musical so for me, it's exciting to see your photo.
DeleteGlad you liked it. I almost didn't include that picture because it was taken accidentally when my daughter was trying to get the Hollywood sign. Then, I thought, it might work for the exit prompt. :)
DeleteGreat photographs, Bless. X
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jules. :)
DeleteThank you for showing all the photos for the photo link-up you participate in.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed them all - especially Dancer lol
I really liked seeing some of the local landmarks we always hear about.
Glad you enjoyed seeing the photos, Debra. :)
