Audience, View and A Very Special Moment
Seagull, Random Photo and An Angel
Our last singing session at the Zed Shed was today and this photo of a seagull on a buoy was taken when the sopranos were learning and I wasn’t needed.
I read this lovely heart-warming story about a man and a baby the other day and have been given permission to use the photo and to tell you the story, by Artistic Freedom whose page it was on.
“Random photo of a man at the DMV holding a baby. The man does not know the child. They are strangers to each other. The parents of the child were sitting next to the man and the baby, feeling squirmy and discontent, crawled into the man’s lap.
The man had just moved from one state to another, where a year prior his brother was killed. This baby was born on that very day. Everyone was overwhelmed to tears.

A Christmas card has arrived. It comes from one of our beautiful Ukrainian friends who is safe in Sweden. It is a beautiful Angel, made from delicate curve stitching and we love it. Thank you N.
Door Stop, River View and White
There was a delightful door stop keeping the fresh air flowing in the Muddy Beach cafe after singing today. This one won’t steal your chips!
It is always lovely looking across the Penryn River.
The white part of our garden is coming along well – Lupins, Poppies and White Foxgloves.
Today’s Garden, On the Water and A View
1 Just a gallery today to show you what’s in flower at the beginning of July – and we have some Sugar Snap Peas almost ready to harvest! Click on any photo for more detail.
2 Some views from the boat across to Flushing and Trefusis Point. We just went to practise ropes and sails, not to go out this afternoon.
3 This is the view from the supermarket in Penryn, across the Penryn River.
Weekly Photo Challenge – Extra
I was taking a photo of the boats in the Penryn River, Cornwall and saw the woman in her wellies. It wasn’t until later that I noticed the dog almost swimming out of the picture – a much valued ‘extra’.

Rain Water Collector, Penryn River and Blue Poppy
1 Walking along the road, close to the wall in Penryn this morning, I spotted a unique rain-water collector – not conventionally ‘beautiful’ but anything that pleases me and makes me smile makes it onto these pages!
2 It is a delight every Thursday to be able to sing in harmony with others in such a beautiful place. It truly lifts the spirits.
3 Now our Himalayan Blue Poppy has opened too so we have white, yellow, pink, red and blue poppies all open in the garden this June.
Fishing, Cucumbers and Fennel in the Rain
1 It was lovely to be back singing again and enjoying the scenes outside by the Penryn River. This family were having great fun fishing.
2 Two of our choir friends have a glut of cucumbers, roundish, yellow and quite beautiful – thank you N&G.
3 I love the way the delicate fronds of the fennel collect raindrops like little jewels. Click on the photo and zoom in. You can see tiny reflections of the plant in some of the raindrops.
This is my 700th post! That’s over 2000 beautiful things.
Singing, Cake and Thoughtfulness
1 We had our usual singing this morning, rehearsing for our Gig tomorrow evening, followed by a singing workshop with delicious cakes made by several members of the choir.
All that and the view of the Penryn River outside. Bliss!
2 The cakes were truly scrumptious! Thanks to all who baked.
3 I love the flowers and the mosaic which cheer visitors to the hospital.
Masts, Magic and Reflection
1 I’ve been admiring these magnificent masts for the last few weeks of singing by The Penryn River and was pleased both sailing boats were still there today.
2 This sign in Redruth this afternoon amused me.
3 In this reflection in our lovely park sign, I’m wearing my purple, white and green scarf made by one of my lovely daughters, in honour of the Suffragettes.
