An easy choice from Debbie at Travel with Intent this week, the word is Green.
A magnificent lettuce from my brother’s garden in Essex. Although he was fairly miffed when I picked it for salad at dinner. Apparently there is a certain way to do this for regrowth. I hope it did grow again.

I was at the park the other day with my granddaughter and this view caught my eye. I like a photo to be naturally framed.
This was taken with my Samsung S22, I didn’t edit it but did use Ribbett to frame the frame – so to speak. I like the sectioned views of the Perth Skyline.
Perfect for John’s Cellpic Sunday and Debbie’s One Word Sunday – View.
We spent a few hours in Fremantle today to enjoy the winter sun. Sitting in a beachfront pub enjoying a drink and watching some children playing in the waves. The sun was shining but the temperature was only 14 degrees! Kids can’t resist the sea and they were all fully clothed, jackets, jumpers and trousers, we watched them squelch past us later dripping wet. They had a blast though.
I took some photos for Debbie’s One Word Sunday – Straight.
It’s the end of winter next week, I’m looking forward to Spring and warmer days.
This is my photo for One Word Sunday hosted by Debbie at Travel With Intent
I could just about capture this in my garden the other night. Just peeping through the branches.
Wise words in today’s busy world when everyone is connected to some type of device. For One Word Sunday Debbie has chosen the word Rest.
The photos below are from a few years back when we were in Hoi An, Vietnam.
I’ve never been in a rickshaw as I’ve always felt sorry for the “driver’s” legs. This man has probably earned a good rest after pulling tourists around all day.
These beach workers are taking a break during a quiet time. Look how close the beds are, we met quite a few people lying next to us! You can’t but help overhear the conversations. I don’t think anyone would like to lie so closely together in future.
This week the word for One Word Sunday is reflection. I took a photo of this very lonely heron in Hobart, Tasmania.

This week for one word Sunday, Debbie at Travel with Intent has chosen “Pond or Ponder”. I’ve found a few with quotes to go with my photos. Stay a while and ponder.
It is better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a mighty ocean
Our little fish pond, built in 2012. Different fish and some more plants, but still going strong. DH’s (Dear Hubby) hobby.
“I have found it a singular luxury to talk across the pond to a companion on the opposite side”
~ Henry David Thoreau ~
“Remain in the world, act in the world, do whatsoever is needful, and yet remain transcendental, aloof, detached, a lotus flower in the pond.”
― Osho, The Secret of Secrets
It’s the smallest fish in the pond that has the most room to swim – or the smallest cow!
Some cities from around the world for Debbie’s OWS – Urban.
These are all cities we have visited over the last few years or so. It’s nice to spend a few days in a city but that’s about it for me. I much prefer a beach holiday, relaxing under an umbrella, a swim in the sea and watching the sunset. Da Nang in Vietnam is perfect for both which suits hubby and me down to the ground! He loves a good shop and browse and to tramp along streets unknown, letting his feet take him wherever! We rendezvous later after his explorations are over and to see if he’s found anything interesting worth visiting.
This week Debbie has set the one word Sunday challenge as rural. As it coincided with Father’s Day I thought I would combine the two. It’s been a while since I saw both my parents, coming up to a year. I was lucky enough to have them both with me for almost five months last year, because of Covid they were stuck here for much longer than planned.
I asked them to artfully arrange themselves on some hay bales at a winery we visited
