a cooking pot and twisted tales
Thoughts and Tales…A Lifestyle Blog with a Zing.
Every tattoo has a little story behind it. I wonder what the story to the flowers on her legs. Hmm, I should have asked, now I’m wishing I did 😉
On Thursday’s, I share pictures about ‘Echos of my Neighbourhood.
I would like to invite you to participate. The challenge is quite simple.
Every Thursday, share a photo of bits and pieces of wherever you are at any point in time. It could be a house, backgrounds of your neighbourhood, activities and so forth and you can tag it Echos of my Neighbourhood, add my link to your post so that I will get the ping from your post.
Every other Thursday, I will publish a post with the links of all those who participated the previous week.
This is just a fun way of getting to see more of the World around us through your eyes since we cannot all be at those places, we could, at least, see them through you.
Bringing you more photos of the Miracle garden. You can check last week’s link here just in case you missed it.
I managed to fit in a picnic/barbeque before the forbidding hot weather of the Middle East rears up its head in full force as well as a bowling outing (though I am not much of a bowler) to round up our Spring break.
Now that school is back in full swing, life is no longer running on a slow lane.

Planting a seed is a risk.
We are not sure that it will grow.
We are not sure that it will not be a diseased crop.
We are not sure some wild creature will not attack it when we are not looking.
Nonetheless, we have to plant those seeds that we have in our hands. Chances are, that a good number will grow and ripen for harvest.
We must take the time to till our ground, plant, and water and be patient for the God of Harvest to increase our bounty. Except we plant, he has nothing to work on.

We found time during the weekend to go to the Miracle Garden where I took tons of photos. Just sharing a bit of some of them with you and will share a bit more another time.
It’s a lovely place to spend a day. Always teeming with tourists and families especially during the weekend.
There are blooming petals everywhere and the mingled floral essence of these flowers hangs delicately in the air as you have an ice-lolly and traipse around leisurely or enjoy relaxing in one of the sit-outs or swings to be found around the perimeters.

Last Week Echoes gave us some peeks of different neighbourhoods, hop on let’s go see and we will be glad to see some of yours
Cycling to Ostpark beautiful, serene piece of Munich, Germany. A good place for a day’s outing.
Thoughts and entanglements Nature’s bursts in spades of beauty. The circle of birth and death.
Like Mercury Colliding Nature has so much in store for us and teaches us through its cycle. A Spring miracle to behold.
Mammoth Norwich Castle museum and art gallery certainly holds some ginormous treasure in them.
Doggerland I didn’t know about this until I looked at Kim’s photo and read her short presentation.
Mile of daffs beautiful miles of springing daffodils.
Thank you to all Echoes’ contributors. I am learning a whole lot from this challenge as well as having fun with it.
It would lovely to have you join us. Regards
It takes such men like those in the photo below, to create beautiful landscapes that we admire.

The beauty of Burj at night as we drive by.
This week’s echoes is a mix of several faces and places. From shopping for groceries to going with my bloke and the boys to get a haircut where yours truly spent some time being more observant than usual to the business of manly grooming.
I saw men threading their eyebrows to make it look less bushy. Lot’s of scalp shaving with a scary blade, massaging, barbing, shampooing and rubbing of scalps. Interesting outing I must say 😉
With the children on Spring break, a bit more leisure time so taking them to the cinema and some skating play time  was involved.
Thanks to Kat, I got the idea to include a video of real echoes of my neighbourhood, which I will do from time to time. This was fun to do. We drove and I stuck the camera up to catch a one minute video.
Please watch and let me know what you think.
Thank you 🙂

I wonder whose bicycle it was, Â before it became a piece of decor?
Lovely idea 😊
I honestly can’t claim that I have a fair idea of what I’m doing. In fact, I would be lying if I claimed to know. I am just having fun with today’s assignment since I am out all day with my troop.
According to today’s photo 101 prompt ‘Glass, Squared,’ we are to incorporate glass in today’s image: a window, a mirror, a wine glass, sunglasses or something else. It doesn’t matter what form the glass takes.
So here I go tinkering and peeking in or out.
