Over the garden wall

I pass a wall on my morning walk - six days every week.

This week my attention was caught by a collection of pebbles.


Front right has the slogan - "Save the NHS" - one with which we can all agree.

Thematic Photography - Many, many things

I can only drool over the many, many things in Carmi's photo this week and keep my eye on more mundane sights.

A chattering of starlings
You can hear them from some distance away.

This is the time of year when many berries appear.

Many, many elderberries from just one flower head
The oak trees have many clusters of acorns like this - before the squirrels start to stash them away.

August acorns
The rattling of some seed heads may catch your attention.

Many, many seed heads - but count the seeds and there's even more.
Some trees have already begun dropping their fruit.

Beech mast on the footpath
I guess you could say that that would have qualified for the 'floored' theme last week as could - 

Many, many pebbles in our drive.
But how did those two weeds get there?

You may dip into many, many scrumptious things at Thematic-photographic-421.

Thematic Photography - Floored

You should not slip up on the industrial flooring that Carmi has posted for this prompt.

It reminded me that every day on my walk to collect a newspaper I pass over these studs warning the blind or poorly sighted that there is a road to be crossed.


Many drives to houses have been blocked paved but there are some that are more interesting.

Pebbles and a mixture of stones set in concrete
I guess that they are a bit of a bumpy ride; much smoother are these recycled cobbles.


However the first uncarpeted floor I see each day is the one in our kitchen - with tiles that originated in Spain.
