Life is starting anew ... happiest of birthdays!!

Rose play almost spring many more to come ...

Red Bag goes travelling ( ... sillier than a garden gnome ... but the bag really did go thousands of miles ... )

I love the way Mary has made the picture of me and the bag resting in her last post. Kind of dreamy.  I have to confess I had a bit of a 'thing' about the red bag last year.

As well as resting in Morro Bay, it travelled to Big Sur and stayed with me and Mary in Deejuns.  Here it is enjoying a rest on its own in my bed in our lovely Deejuns' room - called the "Van Gogh" room.

It looked good against many things ... including white tulips.  And even on a Litter bin (that's trash in American).   But now - seeing Mary's photo of me and the bag in Morro Bay - I know the obsession has passed.  That bag is confined to a cupboard. Just coming out for a  'weekend' away.  Obsessions can seem pretty daft - when they have passed.  But as well loving water and reflections ... colour too ...
... (I'm think I've got to do a colour 'tour' when I do a blog soon on pics of Morro Bay.  Thank you for taking me to Morro Bay and Big Sur Mary xx)

Rocks and Roses

More watery themes to follow the Koi.  Lovely water - never get tired of it.  A photo of waves over the rocks at Crystal Cove, California is layered with the 'email card' picture I made for Mary on her birthday.

Swimming Through Lilies

It's magic: one photo by Mary, one by Jane, then Arrow swims through the lilies.

If we start a list of things that we both love I am sure it would have to include water, reflections: and dear Arrow.  The funny thing is being able to think of two photos that could join together and become our blog title: which came first, without an image.
