Lovely photos. I really enjoy seeing photos of Dancer. Such a lovely cat!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. :)
DeleteWonderful photos! Dancer looks very relaxed! The common jade plant is lovely, I've never seen one so colorful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Celie. Dancer had been napping and woke up when I went to take a picture of him! The common jade plant is growing in the front garden, near the edge of the garden and the sidewalk. It gets full sun and seems to turn reddish when it gets the sun!
DeleteSome great choices, Bless. I especially love the jewellery, very cute! X
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jules. They are some of my favorite earrings! :)
DeleteLovely photos and your Jacaranda flowers are gorgeous. You made me laugh with your door a-Jar and Dancer aka "Johnny on the Spot", very clever :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. Glad you liked my door a-jar and Dancer being Johnny on the spot! :D Got to get him in the post, somehow! But, August's challenge (noughts and crosses) is going to be difficult!
DeleteI liked the J tour through your garden and Dancer whose always ready for a photo op. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, June. Yes, he has to get in there, one way or another! :D
DeleteI see Dancer is the star of the post again ... well, done for finding a way to include him. Also well done for 'door ajar', which made me laugh. I think my favourites have to be the jacaranda flowers and the common jade plant, both if which are lovely. Many thanks for joining in Bless. The next theme is 'noughts and crosses'.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. Of course I had to get Dancer in there, somehow! :D Thank you for organizing the monthly challenges, Eileen. :)
DeleteWell done Bless. "Journal" was clever and I like yours. I didn't think of joss sticks! (Now I'm wondering where all my incense is!) L (from the USA) kept mentioning jacaranda, which wasn't very helpful, given I had no real option of finding one. Yours is beautiful and I will tell her you included it! (Hmmm... I suppose we will have to take your word for it that that is jam in your jars and not topping mascarading as jam! ;o) )
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lady Ella. Ha, ha, yes, that is jam in the jars (although, there is one jar of topping - the one with the label at the bottom); I haven't been able to print out labels for the jam because the printer ran out of ink!
DeleteA great selection of photos, I'm always amazed at how different all our selections are.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joy. I'll be along to check yours in a bit. :)
DeleteOh these are great snapshots -- very fun to see all the different items. Well done you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susanne. I had fun taking the photos. :)
DeleteWhat great pictures for your prompt.
ReplyDeleteThe muted colors in the first jade plant are really lovely together.
Your door ajar is very clever ;)
I laughed at Dancer being the Johnny on the spot,
He must have his moment in the sun :)
Thank you, Debra. I took another look at the jade plant and I think those reddish edges of the leaves are scorched for the sun!
DeleteWell, yes, having Dancer in the monthly challenges is a personal challenge - a challenge within a challenge, if you will. :)
You are certainly up to the challenge. That is quite a variety of J photos and of course Dancer will find a way in every time!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bushlady. August's challenge is "noughts and crosses" and that is going to be quite challenging, I think!
