This is my happy photo for today's FFF+ Snap Happy theme of "Flower". Thank you to Margaret for the theme.
It has been four years since we dug up my mother's rose after learning our childhood home was going to be demolished (full story in link).

It has thrived since we planted it and continues to provide us with beautiful, perfumed blooms even though it would be over 50 years old. It is my favourite plant and makes me very happy that it is part of our garden.

Just a smell of the perfume brings back beautiful memories of my mother in the garden.

It was my daughters 12th birthday. The piece de resistance of the party was meant to be a wangadang chocolate fountain which my friend was bringing up. But unfortunately my friend arrived empty handed having forgotten to bring it in the rush to get here. After a few tears (mine), off the Sherpa went on a merry chase from shop to shop try to find one. He missed half the party but returned triumphant with this very small fountain.

Despite its size, it did the trick and messy, chocolate fun was had by all at the party.

We have only used it once or twice since that time but decided to bring it out for Easter. I think it really shows off the decadence of chocolate.

One of the most beautiful yellows found in my household is the yellow feathers of Naughty George's Crest.

Please note, no animals were harmed in the making of this image ;-)

Once In a Blue Moon
I have been trying to use the challenges to teach myself new Photoshop skills as I have in mind images I would like to make in the future which would require more accomplished techniques than the rudimentary ones I have at the moment.

This image is made up of my own images, a night sky, the Supermoon, two lovebirds, a favourite old tree. I learnt how to make the love hearts from scratch. I know it isn’t that great (don’t look too closely) it is meant to be viewed as a whole. However, as soon as the Blue theme came up, I wanted to do something along the lines of Once in a Blue Moon. I didn’t have time to develop the story-line as much as I should have but, really, who cares. I am trying to learn not to care and just do.

For me it is about that great love that comes once in a Blue Moon. Lucky for many there is more than one Blue Moon in our lifetime.

(also phone images 3/10 Flickr X100 2020)

I had a few reflection attempts but I kept coming back to this one. On our nightly walk, we are usually finishing just as sunset approaches As we turned the corner for home, I noticed the sunset lit up the rear window of the Taxi Van. I kind of knew the feel I wanted for the image and it took awhile to get there. I almost gave up but got there in the end. Given it was my topic, I had to put something up.

Apologies if I don't get round to much commenting today. In the field for work and it will be a long day. Will catch up soon.
