Saturday Selection

The bluebells are out in force now. Above is my first attempt at taking a moving photograph of them. It’s a bit jerky and uneven, but it’s a start, I suppose! And below, a regular still photograph of the newest bluebells to emerge.

And below, still some waiting to emerge:

And below, not a bluebell, but a blueberry…

Not by itself, I might add. Joined by a couple of strawberries, raspberries, and kiwi slices, all combined in a delicious Summer Fruit Tartlet which I devoured after tea.

If you look closely at the blueberry, you may notice my latest Selfie. I go to some extremes for my Selfies, you know!

HAPPY WEEKEND!

The moving photographs are really cool! And the selfie! Ha. I wouldn’t have seen that. You are so sneaky and clever, Tom.

  Thanks, Amy… always trying to do something different! 🙂 And I agree – there is something special about the moving photos, isn’t there?

  Welcome, Charlie! Nice to see you!
  And thanks… I’ll get the hang of those moving photos one day to take a good one, I’m sure! I’m always trying to get the most original Selfie… I think a blueberry one is quite unique!
  And yes – I’m having a good weekend – I hope you are as well.

That tart looks yummy, selfie and all! And the bluebells are such a lovely touch of spring. Our spring is coming about a month early here, so I’m hoping the weather stays nice enough to reward all the brave apple and cherry blossoms!

  Thanks, Diane. It was YUMMY!!!
  Our Spring has turned back into Winter again. Snow and ice today. No wonder I’ve caught a cold… hope you have better weather over there!

    Oh, that’s too bad! There’s nothing more miserably than being sick when the weather is crappy. I have a bit of a cold at the moment, too, but our weather is lovely so it makes it much easier to bear.

      I hope you’re free of your cold soon as well, then, Diane. Whatever the weather it’s always better when the cold just isn’t there! (That works weather-wise and cold-wise! hehehe!)

That tartlet looks so edible, even with your selfie in the blueberry. 🙂

  Thanks, Sylvia, it was lovely. I only noticed the Selfie in the photo… I’m wondering if it would have tasted any different had I spotted it before I devoured the whole tart in three mouthfuls? 😉 😀
