Kimber’s carpet fitters made an excellent job this morning of installing our new stairs and landing carpet.
Much of the day was spent exchanging e-mails with partners in two different joint projects. One thread was with Paul, who is finalising the flyer for the exhibition at The First Gallery.
Here are a few further suggestions of prints on to be on show. Just for fun I have chosen an orange theme.
This was the gentle overture to 6th April 2015.
This bee burrowed into a crumpled poppy on 23rd September the same year,
and the following day Mamma Mia became bejewelled.
Could this be the same bee on the kniphofia on 28th?
The second exchange of e-mails must remain secret at the moment. It concerns my draft of a post brought about by collaboration with a man I have never met. I await his approval of the text.
This evening we dined on Jackie’s perky paprika pork and exquisite egg fried rice. She drank water and I finished the merlot.
These are amazing photos, Derrick! The overture is stunning.
Thanks, Jill
Wow! Derrick, I am at work and several people were impressed with these radiant orange forms of nature. Wonderful title, my friend.
Many thanks, Robin
I like orange, though it shouts. We are intrigued.
🙂 Thanks, Mary
Poor Jackie remains poorly? Give her my best wishes please Derrick, I hope she is back to the wine soon.
She’s still coughing. Thanks, Pauline, from her as well as me
I doubt coughing would keep Jackie away from the wine!!!
I’m afraid it does. She’s seeing quack tomorrow
Wow beautiful photos!
Thanks, Lynn
I always love looking at your photos derrick!
That secret post with the mysterious man sounds intriguing……
🙂 Thanks, GP
That’s what I was thinking, GP. I guess we just have to be patient.
🙂
I hope Jackie recovers from darnking the water. The government should warn people about the dangers of mixing liquids and knitting needles. 🙂
Bees really love the red hot pokers. (Sorry, couldn’t help myself.) 😀
Brilliant, Johnna
That poppy seems tactile!
Thanks Gwen – like crumpled tissue
That’s it!
The secret emails announcement is heartless and cruel… it reads like the preface to an Agatha Christie. I do hope no one gets murdered.
Oh, good. Thanks, Bruce
Only on your blog would that happen, Bruce A.
LOL!
Love the Poppy image. 🙂
Thanks, Sylvia
Amazing photos Derrick!
Thanks, Sofia
There are oranges and there are oranges….these oranges are more like flame than fruit….quite beautiful. Speedy recovery Jackie…
Thanks, Cynthia
Your pictures are brilliant – thanks for sharing!
Many thanks, theunassuminghiker
Wonderful photos! Hope Jackie’s dratted cough is soon gone. Sounds like it has been around way too long. I’ll be waiting to hear about the mysterious man.
Many thanks, Laurie
I love your orange symphony, Derrick 🙂
Thank you, Monica
Well, to add to the suspense, I approve of your draft of the text (though you have met me, so I’m clearly not part of (nor party to) that SECRET PROJECT. [You HAVE heard of hiding things in plain sight, haven’t you, Derrick??])
As party to “The First” Gallery project, I heartily approve the selection of oranges.
Great, Thanks, Paul. I’ll get printing
Well, orange certainly is a good choice for you. Sumptuousness!
Many thanks, Cynthia G
Beautiful captures of the sun, flowers, and bee! Love this orange post, Thank you Derrick!
Thanks, Amy
