Saw this over at Collision Detection It’s very clever and amusing. The details are wonderful – I think I even saw a fish knife or two in there…

Dogs In Waiting – Glumly Labrador
This gorgeous creature seemed resigned to his waiting fate. Sometimes dogs have that slightly hurt to be excluded from a place look about them. I think those expressive eye markings gave him an extra edge in the “make my feelings known” stakes and I like the way he made maximum contact with the cool concrete path.

Colour Schemes For The Bold – Purple and Orange
 |

| Asiatic Lily |

| Zinnia |

| Gladioli |

| Lobelia |

| Petunias |
As autumn starts to make its presence felt here I’m already thinking about next summer…
I love the citrus zing of the delightful Zinnia – Orange King alongside the deep velvet purple of this beautiful Asiatic Lily – Dimension. Throw in the vibrant green foliage as the third colour and you have an eye popping combination! You could also throw in a very deep purple gladioli and have flowers to cut all summer long. Blue Lobelia and purple Petunias are favourites too for a bold garden and a spectacular in pots.

Things Organised Neatly
May I most humbly suggest that when the earth goes completely insane there is some small measure of comfort to be gained from Things Organized Neatly – go breathe in the nice, tidy goodness. My thanks to Alan Jacobs at Text Patterns for the heads up via Twitter. My own approach to an abiding love of things and collections can be somewhat more haphazard or perhaps I have a differing notion of what constitutes neatness – some photos in a future posts will attest to that.

Dogs in Waiting – I Refuse
This gorgeous creature had the most amazing luxuriant coat of many colours and the coolest blue eyes. He downright refused to make eye contact with me , striking a haughty air of indifference – maybe you get to act like that if you’re this good looking! More Dogs In Waiting here.

Zinnia Joy
Grow zinnias. You won’t regret it. These are Lilliput, but any zinnia is easy to grow from seed. They’re delightful and you’ll have flowers for months.

Dogs In Waiting – Library Dog
This little guy was hyperalert to his owner leaving him to enter the library – eyes on the door, head up, ears forward, watching and willing her to reappear. He waited quietly – no yapping or fussing, just a steady gaze fixed on the doorway. More Dogs In Waiting here.
