Moments in my Week




This is the pretty card my friend Rose
sent for my birthday.
A heart shaped garland of hydrangea flowers,
gypsophila and berries.



My new watch - a present to myself!




I'm relishing every bloom my rose gives me
as Autumn approaches.
In past years I've had roses until the end of May.




The April copy of New Zealand House and Garden
and
a packet of yummy salted caramels from 
France.


Early morning walk on Kohimaramara beach.


I'm joining 
Amy for Five on Friday
Karen for Sunlit Sunday
Judith for Mosaic Monday
Bernideen for BTTCG
and
Stephanie for Roses of Inspiration 


Thank you for your comments

Take care and
be kind to one another

à bientôt




Shane

  1. What a gorgeous heart shaped garland from your friend Rose - hopefully you may be able to dry it and keep it forever. It sounds as if you had a lovely birthday.

  3. And what a wonderful week it was! Such dreamy, romantic photos. :)
    Belated Happy Birthday to you, dear Shane!
    PS As to your question, I use a Canon EOS 450D and take most of my photos using a Canon EF-S 55–250mm f/4–5.6 IS lens.
    Have a lovely new week!

  14. Love the pretty card with the heart garland and your new watch is a beauty. Happy Birthday by the way! This week I will have mine! Such a soft pretty rose. The beach looks like a soothing place to be especially in the morning. Have a wonderful week!

  15. I'd be tempted to decorate a room around that card!
    The beach is lovely - and reminiscent of our Willows Beach, where I walk every day. So many beaches are wild and remote and this one, with its urban views seems like a pretty place to walk.

  16. So it was your birthday, too. A very happy birthday to you. Nice gift to yourself! I enjoyed your 5 and sunlit photos!

  17. Does autumn arrive on the very same day that spring arrives in the northern hemisphere? I always love autumn, but feel some trepidation. Comes with the territory in a northern clime. May you have roses blooming well into autumn and beyond. They are beautiful.

  22. The presents you give yourself are the best because at least you get what you want! Enjoy your roses as long as you can.

  23. Happy belated birthday dear Shane and how beautiful the sweet card is with the heart garland. Love your new watch and lovely when you can pick something for yourself.
    Your rose is pretty too and a walk along the beach is the best.

    hugs

  24. Oh for a walk on the beach right there. Your rose is gorgeous. I hope you have roses until the end of May. Our first rose bud has just made an appearance and should bloom in another week. I am excited! What a sweet card too. Yummm! Candy from France. What a special week.

  28. Dear Shane:
    Your potpouri of photos are lovely and especially your rose. I find it so amazing the difference in seasons where you are. Today is was in the 70's here in Missouri and back in Colorado where we left last week - they are having a blizzard today. I loved your post and thank you for linking and sharing.

  30. Happy Belated Birthday to you, Shane. It's always a treat to receive a beautiful card from a friend. Your rose is beautiful. Perhaps mine will start by the times yours have finished for the season.
