2024 SPSH - First Link In

 Good Morning.  I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer.  Today is the first link in for the 2024 SPSH, hosted by Ruth & her Best Friend over at This West London Life; the list can be found at: This West London Life - 2024 SPSH

For this link in, these are my first finds

#2. Look up to the sky; took this photo while waiting at one of Mr Man's many eye appointments.  It's my angel in the sky.


#6 Something With Wings; for the first time ever, we have (that we noticed) Blue Jay fledglings in our garden. Just as noisy & squawky as their parents.



#9 Moving Water; I treated myself to a new solar birdbath fountain, it has several different fountain heads & I really like the sound & sight of the moving water.



#10 Something that casts a shadow; this year the ferns have been massive & plentiful



#13 Mark the passage of time; this treatment for our two Ash Trees happens every two years, it's to give them a fighting chance against the destructive & invasive Emerald Ash Borer, when we see this ring of injection tubes, we know two years have past;



#14 Your nation's flag, hanging proudly in our back garden;

  5. I like those quotes. Sometimes folks=family ask why I take so many pictures. But I love looking back on the days of my life through my photography.

    Your bird bath is smashing. I am sure the birds appreciate having that water feature for them to enjoy. I like hearing the waterfall in our pool. The sound of water is so soothing.

    Absolutely an angel overhead. What a brilliant capture. So glad you looked up when you did!!

  7. I totally missed this list, but it's too late now to start. I LOVE your garden fountain. We have a small one and the sound is so refreshing all summer long. The rest of your finds are great, too. So happy to see you in my Feedly account.
