When I saw Ailsa’s new theme, I thought I might not do it, as I was sure I didn’t have any suitable pics for it. However, going through some of my photos, I was amazed to find lots of multiples in them.
- Happy families just outside my kitchen window.
- Alligator heads in a shop just outside Palatka.
- More pelicans in Cairns
- Pine trees in Yosemite
- Guitars in Ecuador
- Umbrellas at my beach in South Africa
- Why my hometown is called Umhlanga Rocks
- Balloons at Monte Casino
- Fairies and black cats in mom-in-law’s garden.
- Icicles in Wyoming.
- U.S. Presidents at Mount Rushmore
- Green Bananas in Florida.
- Sweet temptations at the local bakery.
To see more examples of ‘Multiples’ just visit Ailsa’s blog.
If you want to get a head get a hat ! I always end up with a squished one too 😦
Super choices AD .
Hahaha. Yes, they don’t pack well at all. 🙂
Love your icicles shot!
Thanks. It was beyond cold that day. 🙂
Great choices for the theme, more especially the hats. Stunning:-)
Thanks, Cocoa. 🙂
Great post. Great photos..
Thanks so much. 🙂
Given all your photos and travels, you probably had too many options. Good choices.
Far too many options, Frank. 🙂
bananas, birds, hats, coins – nice gallery!
Thanks so much, ft. 🙂
Brilliant choice of photos …. and great ones too – my pick will be green bananas.
See, I found your comment way back here, Viveka. I’d forgotten about the green bananas. 😆
Hi, I have nominated you for “The Versatile Blogger Award”!! If you are interested, please check my post
http://thetimelesstreasure.wordpress.com/2013/01/07/the-versatile-blogger-award/ Congratulations!!!
Thanks so much for the nomination, RV. I do already have this award, but I’m honoured to know that you also find me versatile. 🙂
The landscape and seascapes are just amazing!
A fun, exciting , colorful series of multiples.
Thanks, IT. I’m glad you enjoyed my pics. 🙂
Fab images AD! You forgot the Terracota warriors! Quite like I forgot the red unmbrellas from Ipanema…..but that would have been one too many 🙂
Thanks so much, Madhu. I didn’t forget the warriors. I decided not to put them in, as I’d used them before for a challenge. I’m saving them for another time which I’m sure will come around soon. 😀
I really like the hat pic.
Thanks, Tilly. I bought one, but it didn’t travel as well as promised. 😦
😦
I’m sure that if a theme demanded ‘Mating Rituals of Martian Glurkwerps’ you’d find a suitable picture! 🙂
You get the prize for the funniest comment I’ve ever received. 😆
Oh, goody!
Um, do I have to come to Florida to collect it?
If you feel so inclined, but maybe when I get back, I can buy one of your Immy books. When are they due out?
I am busy recording the narration for the last one, and then the whole set of five DVDs will be available. (The printed part now takes the form of DVD booklets which fit into the jewel case.)
Wonderful! I love jewels. 🙂
Well, I hope these will be regarded as gems! 🙂
These are great, it’s surprising how we find just the right thing isn’t it? Mind you my photo collection is becoming so large that soon I won’t be able to find what I do have!
Thanks, Gilly. Yes I know what you mean about searching through thousands of photos. 😀
Wow – well done, AD. ♥
Thanks so much, adee. Hugs to you. (I wish I knew how to do that little heart. 🙂 )
they are all so beautiful photographs but my favorite one is the fountain with this lovely face! Amazing. Thank you, dear AD, love, nia
Thanks so much, dear nia. Max is a really great little guy. 🙂
Great choices! My favorite is the up-close of the two of the pelicans–for the one on the sand, where you really that close to them? Brave.
Yes, we were very close to them, but they weren’t interested in us. 🙂
You must have thousands of photos – what a fantastic way to keep the memories alive! I loved these, very cool. That fountain pic could be an entire story on it’s own 😀
Yes you’re right, Dianne. I bet you could write a very good story around that fountain pic. 🙂 I’ve just downloaded your book, “Together Apart” onto my kindle. Loving it so far. 🙂
Oh dear – Together Apart isn’t my book 😦 That’s the problem with having the same name as another author. The Dianne Gray who wrote Together Apart is an American and I’m and Aussie – oops – sorry!
Oh dear, that is too funny. I just saw it on Amazon and thought I’d try it. Anyway, I’m enjoying it very much. 😆
That other Dianne Gray is a very lucky lady! 😀
I’ll have to make sure I get the right Dianne Gray next time. 😀
nice collection of photos.. and the 2nd photo of alligator heads is pretty interesting.. it that a souvenir shop?
Thanks so much, elizz. Yes it was a souvenir shop in Georgia. I didn’t buy an alligator. 🙂
i could see that there are small ones too.. maybe there’s a healthy population of alligator in their area thus they could afford to display and sell them at souvenir shops.. in some areas, they are a protective specie.. i will not buy either if i’m there.. 🙂
They have alligator hunting season for one week a year, and people have to buy a license. The money goes to alligator conservation.
oh i see.. thanks for the info 🙂
Fascinated by your icicles image and the sweet treats look delicious! – Suzan –
Thanks, Suzan. Yes those icicles on our wheels were certainly photo -worthy. 🙂
That face at the fountain tells a story of its own.
He was dying to get in there to fish the coins out. 🙂
You have lots of great multiples! I especially like the hats on the wall, the pelicans, and the little fairies. 🙂
Thanks so much, Cathy. 🙂
Great choices of images my friend I love it , wish you the best for 2013 🙂
Thanks so much, Jake. 🙂
You just had to stick in a bakery shot didn’t you Sylvia?!
That cake is looking at me! 😯
Especially for you, Phil. 😀
Glad you found so many. Great selections for the theme, AD!
Thank you, Amy. I could have put up dozens more pics for the theme, but one has to know when to stop. 🙂
Great Photos ! I’ve been me too in the Panama hats factory in Ecuador 😉
So many clever examples .. it is hard to chose the favourite one 🙂 .. gators probably, duckies, nah .. bananas…. 😀 Wonderful post, Sylvia!!!!
You always have a great collection of photos. Why would you possibly think that you wouldn’t have any for the challenge?
I like the hats. Must admit, I thought the same thing when I saw the theme, but then that’s often my reaction to the challenges.
OK my favourite has to be the cakes1
Hahaha……I think many would choose the same if they were really honest. 🙂
A fabulous collection of photosSylvia. You cetainly rose to the challenge! 🙂
Absolutely amazing collection of photos! And the hats – my top 1 🙂
Many cool multiples AD 😉
Lovely pictures ad. I love all the hats on the top 🙂
*hugs*
Thanks, Hopestar. They are Panama hats in Ecuador. 🙂
Hugs back.
Wonderful photos and multiples. It’s funny how we see one thing in a photo and on second look see another.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Fascinating AD 😀
Imagine waking up to that view every morning
Hi,
A great collection of photos, and I love how you have set them out with a description of what they are very nice. 🙂
I really like the view and the birds taken from the kitchen window, magnificent.
