27 July to 8 August 2020 - Catching up on my Covid Photo A Day Project

Hi everyone, I hope you and yours are going ok. It's already a week into August! Can you believe it! Here I am again catching up again with my Covid Photo-A-Day project. Honestly I didn't expect to still be doing this now when I started this project in March. Sadly however, the Covid Virus is still with us. 

I am sure you want to look at more pleasant things. i know right now that family and simple things in life are far more important than money and possessions. 

So here we go
Monday 27 July to Sunday 2 August  

 Monday 27 July 2020 - a quick trip to see our "finance man" in our capital city, Perth, gave us the opportunity to visit our botanical gardens, Kings Park, which overlooks Perth.
You can read more about our visit here if you misssed it last week: Eucalypt-macrocarpa-or-rose-mallee?

 Tuesday 28 July 2020 - cows and blue tree by the railway crossing on the way into town. Do you have "Beyond Blue" trees for mental health where you live? They are popping up here and there in fact there are over 500 in Australia. Trees that are already dead of course. 

Someone asked about the blue trees -  there is a website - Blue Tree Project

Their mission - Our mission is to help spark difficult conversations and encourage people to speak up when battling mental health concerns. 

By spreading the paint and spreading the message that "it’s OK to not be OK", we can help break down the stigma that’s still largely attached to mental health.

Wednesday 29 July 2020 - I took a photo in the corridor of the Art Gallery and then played around in post processing after
 

Thursday 30 July 2020 - I loved the effect of this native wisteria clambering over a gate along one of our walks

 Friday 31 July 2020 - only one photo today! A new pair of fun socks....do you like the flamingos?

 Saturday 1 August 2020 -  beautiful Hebertia in the little bush block near where we live

 Sunday 2 August 2020 - We went out to Manea Park to see if there are any native orchids flowering yet. But the rain came down, so we had to dash back to the car after we hadn't been there long. I did find these tiny Pink Fairy orchids though.

Monday 3 August - Saturday 8 August 2020

Looking back over this past week, we haven't gone far from home. I had a "bit" of a cold for a few days, but it cleared up by the end of the week.

Monday 3 August 2020 - baking biscuits

 

Tuesday 4 August 2020 - a young lady was dressing models in the window at the shopping centre

 

 

Wednesday 5 August 2020 - some colour in my winter garden

 

 

Thursday - 6 August 2020 - do you feel sometimes like you are going around in circles? We saw these marks on the paving when we went walking

 

 

Friday - 7 August 2020 - lavender in my garden

 

Saturday - 8 August 2020 - some winter weather blowing in 

 

So there you have it - a little look at the last two weeks. I hope you are yours are doing ok. Stay safe and enjoy the simple pleasures of your week ahead.

Hello there! I love reading your comments. If you scroll down to the bottom you can comment too! I would love to hear from you.

Winter days & an Energy Bar recipe

It's winter here down under in Western Australia. We had a slow start to winter this year. It was only a couple of months ago in June that I was rejoicing that the rain, and winter, had finally arrived and I celebrated by bringing you a soup recipe - you can see it here if you missed it - Winter Warmers

Since then we have had a very wet July and the start of August has been much the same. We had a rain front cross the coast on Friday night, and another one is due on Sunday.  In winter many of us hibernate, so it feels good to get out when we have some sunshine, or to meet up with a friend in a cafe.  

Too cold to sit here on the waterfront.....
