Much Obliged

· Leave a comment ·
Two painted pebbles from the pebble chain that made its appearance along the side of the local lake during the big lockdown of 2020. Thanking everybody for being responsible or at least, them that were.

Traffic related thanks: A billboard thanking drivers for adhering to the volunteer speed limit of 30 km/h for the sake of the children living in the neighbourhood. Or just a general thanks from the owner of this white car, either to the other drivers for driving defensively, or possibly a thanks for the powers that provided this car in the first place.

And here are my special thanks to — oh, you know who you are!

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Thanks

Something different

· 3 Comments ·

Hammad decided to present something different for his challenge “Weekend Sky”. I cannot compete with his time-lapse video or any video for that matter but I thought I take up the challenge and go for something different as well.

This pebble is one in the long row of painted rocks that appeared on the walkway around the local lake during the first lockdown. The first rocks were made by children to send out the message of hope and friendship to all the people who were strolling around the lake and it just grew and grew.

A wonderful sky, isn’t it?

Traditional collage

The method may be more traditional, similar to collages done by school children who glue cut-outs from magazines on a large piece of paper, the message unfortunately is very modern. These are all painted pebbles from a pebble snake which was started during the lock down. It is on a walkway where there are always lots of people, particularly on weekends, but during the lock down it was particularly busy – without being crowded. Distancing was always possible. And I felt I had to add a protective umbrella as my own message.

I’m a fan of giraffes

On Friday I rediscovered this giraffe (or possibly not) amongst my archived photos for the Friendly Friday Challenge.

It made me realise that I have more photos of giraffes. I’ve always liked these animals and it has upset me when I read that their conservation status has been moved from “least concern” to “vulnerable”.

No matter how difficult the task is, we will manage it!
