the admirable Chiton...
Leigh, what wonderful beasts...
takes me back to hours of fun spent fossicking in the rock pools around Cave Rock, at Sumner...look like a Doric...
But, I can't believe that Greeks wear them, must be painful getting them off... -
Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand, in reply to JacksonP,
Torch ginger, I think?
Busby Berkeley eat your heart out...
You almost have a Calendar of Calendula...

milking the old Silo park again
Can I try 3 alternative titles?
(ok, that was largely a
rhetorical question)Stairing into the abyss
(with the drain's nadir)Lap dance
Rough crossing...

a tiny pizza paradise... -
