I Wish!!!

This is - and at the same time is not - my balcony.
The picture was taken using the panorama view on my camera.
In reality, I’m afraid the balcony has a much less interesting shape.
It is quite straight, four corners, no curves. And it is not huge.

What fascinates me with the panoramas is that they come out “the opposite” of the movement you do with the camera. That’s probably quite logical for someone with a technical mind, but I still can’t quite get my head around it! ;)

Watery Wednesday: Rainbow

 

No rainbows without the sky shedding a few tears!

Ruby Tuesday: Dianthus

 

Red Dianthus and Silver Ragwort,
recently bought for two of my balcony boxes
(to replace the tired pansies from spring)

The name Dianthus is from the Greek words
dios ("god") and anthos ("flower")

… … …

The silvery plant seems to have many names in English/Latin:
Dusty Miller, Silver Ragwort, Jacobaea Maritima, Senecio cineraria …
In Swedish we call it “silverek” which translates “silver oak”.

Friday My Town – Simplicity

The FMTSO theme for this Friday, July 1st is Simplicity.

Okay, I went out of town rather than into town for these shots.
But the lake is within the borders of the municipality ;)

It’s also Skywatch Friday.
