Kew Gardens 29th Smile – Orchid Festival

Standard

This years the inspiration comes from Cameroon.

Beautiful displays

make this festival wonderful.

Crafted animals from Cameroon say hello.

Many beautiful Orchids were on display.

Hanging, standing, stuck into the animals,

reflecting on the water.


A very colourful display

with such a variety of different orchids

with amazing sweet fragrances.


An orchid in a deep forest
sends out its fragrance
to appreciate it.

Guest post: Cat in the Box

Standard

As my mum is out

I jumped on the computer

to show you my favourite places.

From the title you can see it is a box,

yes anything enclosed, I love

additional to my mum’s lap of course.

There are always new places appearing in my house,

boxes and others.

I utilise them all.

I promised my friend Binky to show my relaxing places.

So here we are:

the box on the sofa

 

the box on the floor

the tiny shoebox

the rocking chair

 

my mum’s computer desk,

I just swipe things of the desk and get comfortable.

 

the drawer in my mum’s son’s room

Yes I am allowed

 

Isn’t it just wonderful how many places I have to relax and snooze!

So now it’s your turn,

find a peaceful spot and have a snooze.

 

Wishing you all a very relaxing weekend!

Michelle’s Weekly Pet Challenge Week 48

Standard

My Monkeys

Sonel gave me my idea for this pet challenge week… and she knows how much I love monkeys…

I rounded up my monkeys while they were monkey-ing around the house.

On the clothes rack….

monkeys (1)

On the bed

Clearly you see that they are good pals and always do mischief together!

monkeys (3)

on my newly acquired hammock! – holding tight so they don’t fall off….

monkeys (2)

Well the two had lots of fun posing for these pictures.

Well… we are off to monkey around a bit more.

Have a fun filled day!
