Something red from my stash
So two weeks have passed and I have clicked here and there a few times, mainly in these here parts. As a couple of events happened very quickly, I only had time to reach for the 6 year old phone camera. Consequently, any photoshopping has made few improvements but they are candid.
MAMMAL on the MENU
BUT there's more! The gore did not stop there. After killing the rat, the kooka then gradually swallowed it ..... whole ..... head first! The second kooka had to wait for regurgitated seconds. The pigeon left to scavenge elsewhere.
HI-TECH BEAMS
Laser Technology, not genes, certainly had a hand in wanding these eyelashes. Sadly the headlights were off so the full, lush, moonlit effect of the lashes was not for this candid mobile phone camera. Cute, huh!
TRANSPORT WITH A HEAD
Last August, we spent 12 days in Finland. We spent most of the time in Helsinki but also used our Eurail passes to visit Turku Abo and Tampere. Helsinki has this unique light rail pub with tap beer, which wends its way around the city for 40 mins during the summer. We didn't take the tour but liked the tram and its catchy colour. The cut out postcard is one of our cheery souvenirs of our Finnish experience.
RED FROM THE STASH
RED RETRO TEA TOWELS
These 40s and 50s tea towels are a sub category of my stash! They come under 'textile tat' which I love to ferret from opportunity shops and fetes and add to similar things from my mother's trousseau (pre 9 October 1948). I don't know if they will ever form a quilt but until I make some sort of sewing decision, I will continue to take them out from time to time and enjoy their fabulous Irish linen texture, shapes and colours.
Consequently, I do know that they will definitely never be harmed in the act of drying crockery, cutlery and/or cookware!
Good collection of reds. Mobile phones come in handy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a revolting lunch but I'm impressed at your quickness to capture it on your camera.
ReplyDeleteGood-bye Mr Rat!
ReplyDeleteOur chooks catch mice and gulp them down, but I think a rat would be more than they could handle.
Just love the Kooka story - gave DH and me a laugh!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Finland, now that is one place I would love to visit.
ReplyDeleteI would give you the prize for this weeks best.
ReplyDeleteFantastic. Can't wait to see what you come up with for Q.
