I've made sure that this time I am joining in on the right day for the second in the Summer Photo Hunt posts! So Me on Monday finds me sharing these finds:
Number 2 A wordless directional sign
Number 3 Something netted or webbed
But then in Sicily we walked past this shop selling fishing nets with the fisherman making them outside the doorway and I could not decide which to use.
Number 4 Something berry, berry delicious
Sweet and succulent, strawberries, freshly picked from the garden
Number 7 Something that dangles
Such pretty earrings in a shop in Cefalu
Number 8 Some shadows
The cloisters in the cathedral in Cefalu made such pretty shadow patterns
Number 11 Extraordinary water
The Mediterranean Sea - warm, clear and so very relaxing
Only three to go! Are you joining in with the search? Pop along to Patio Postcards for more information.
I'm looking forward to a little more 'me time' this week - we did a lot of childcare last week and we have fewer hours booked in this week. I'm exhausted! I'm starting the week with meeting up with someone I worked with back in the late 70s/early 80s. We had a few years where our lives went in different directions and we lost touch but we have met up a couple of times in the last year and it's been nice to reconnect. So that is a good start to the week!
We had a good Monday last week too with a trip to the beach with Coco. We awoke to rain but the weather app assured us that it was dry and warmer at the coast so we packed up our picnic and trusted the information - luckily they were right and the more we headed east, the bluer the skies became.
Then there were three full days of childcare, a day to recharge our batteries, get a hair cut and go out for dinner at a friends house before another 8 hours looking after Max and Olive while their mum and dad went into London to celebrate their wedding anniversary. I was very relieved that Sunday involved no cooking but lots of relaxing at my cousin's house!
How many weeks of the summer holidays are left? 😉
Deb thank you for joining in with the SPSH. Wonderful finds! I like your Netted or Webbed photo of the ducks - bonus points for getting both in one photo :) Oh yum to your Berry Berry Delicious.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great start to the week meeting up with friends & your trip to the beach was a good way to finish up last week.
Such pretty photos today! Love the man selling nets and, especially, your photo of shadows! Sounds like the week is off to a lovely start! Enjoy:)
ReplyDeleteI love your photos. Do you make a scrapbook or page about your finds? What does the green sign mean?
ReplyDeleteGreat find with the netted or webbed. I can see why you were happy with that one. I love the shadows too. They make a hot day look very cool.
ReplyDeleteYou were spoilt for choice with the netting! For the road sign I would have used the deer sign that we see around Epping. Great pics, fun challenge.
ReplyDeleteSome great finds for you - I particularly like the fisherman with his nets. :)
ReplyDeleteThe views of the water are beautiful. I love it.

Wonderful finds! You deserve to be "ridiculously happy" with your webbed photo. I had a couple of ducks, but didn't post them because I wasn't happy with either photo. Now that I've seen yours, I'm especially glad I didn't. Webbed/Netted is still on the list for next time. Love your shadows, too!
ReplyDeleteCoco seems very content beachside. I know I am, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a find in that floating pedestal for the ducks. Two birds with one stone!! The fishing nets are like works of art!! They look almost like pendant lights or primitive chandeliers. Great capture.
Your shadow photo is very pretty, too. Have no idea what the street sign with the people means. Meet here? Gathering spot?
