Take a walk around your backyard & you'll be surprised at what treasures you have. HerShed has an addition. HofM framed the bull and added him to the wall. Story behind the bull - it's a set of hand-painted tiles that came from our shop in New Farm (a suburb of Brisbane). The shop was originally a butcher's shop in the 1930's - hence the bull motif - & when we refurbished the shop for sale, we asked the builder to save the tiles. They were embedded in about an inch of concrete & chicken wire & fortunately they came off whole. I like him.
Someone will know the proper name for this plant - I can only remember it as the "Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow" plant - the colours of each flower fade as they get older - that's right, isn't it?
The little mango tree has had lots of flowers & now has a few little fruit - question is, will they grow & survive.
One of our succulents - may see if I can make it into a quilt - there are some interesting lines - a source of inspiration.
The shot of the chippy peely door and the bull is wonderful - very very nice pic. The story behind the bull is great. The lines of the succulent look quite erotic to me...
ReplyDeleteLeaving that last line alone!!!!!

Love the bull tile.
Knew someone would know - Brunfelsia - I have heard it before but the memory does not hold that sort of information. Thanks Jan
ReplyDeleteLove that you are keeping the 'bull' out of the studio!
