I am so chuffed!
I recently moved so having a fishpond in my garden is a novelty I am rather enjoying.
But, this morning I woke up and I had seen the bud coming up from the water over the past few days… but hadn’t expected such a beautiful surprise!
I am so chuffed I had to share this with you guys!!!!
(I don’t rate myself as a photographer, this isn’t very technically good or anything, I just wanted to share the lily)
Ed Moore
Thanks for sharing, but chuffed? Must be one of those non-English Aussie terms! Oh, and this is a beautiful lilly. But keep those brushes wet, Carmen! Ta ta.
Carmen Cilliers replied
Hello dear Mr Ed Moore – long time no see! Thank you, I am glad that you, like me appreciate the simple things in life, unlike my John Dogbreath below : )
dogbreath
a flower?.... you ok?
Carmen Cilliers replied
It’s a waterlily dickhead.
dogbreath
are you saying that I dont appreciate the simple things in life???
I am one of the simple things in life!... and you called me a dickhead!.. I cant find my aussie dictionary at the moment, but I’m pretty sure that its not a good thing!... still love ya though!
Carmen Cilliers replied
Love you too dickhead. It’s probably the wrong dictionary you are looking in, look in the South African one ya wally! xxxx
Amanda McLennan
Well done Carmen, but stick to the paints, you can’t be better than me at painting and photography too!
I love your garden, I bet there is lot’s there to photograph, you would have hours of things to capture in there.
Carmen Cilliers replied
haha – ya silly girl… I wouldn’t dare tread on your pasture : ) No, seriously, happy to leave the photography up to you. Now, need to say, congrats on the new car, and when do I get my invite to come water skiing : ))
Amanda McLennan
We are going down on Thursday for the Australia Day long weekend – if you are up for it you are more than welcome to come down and spend a day or two (or as many as you want) with us. I can facebook you the details if you are interested. As for the new car, it’s just so we can tow the boat and have enough room for our camping gear, now we are set.
Carmen Cilliers replied
Aw, thanks! Hows bout we meet another time first, you cropped all the thugs out of your photo so I don’t know what I am in for LOL : ))) Hope you know that is a joke!
If I get sorted with a tent I’ll be in though for another time since we have the Landy so can easily join in with the towing and four wheel driving…where is it anyway that dam
catherine walker
so beautiful ..and what a great suprise..I agree.. so lovely ..
Carmen Cilliers replied
it was! hard to believe that I am still inside wasting time on the computer!
Amanda McLennan
I know – and agree, we do need to meet, you might be a wierdo, lol. As for the thugs I know, there are plenty of them.
The dam is just out of Collie – only a couple of hours down south.
Carmen Cilliers replied
Yea, Collie, where people go missing LOL : ))) Haha! Ok. Now, I have to go and face the day… I have been up since 4.30 and almost all of that on the computer wasting time – aaaaargh!
Amanda McLennan
I was up at 4.00 this morning too – thunderstorm woke us all up, I fortunatley got back to sleep after an hour. Have a good day, go and paint something ok.
Karin Taylor
