This week’s Photo Challenge is ‘Companionable’, so I’ve picked out a few photos in keeping with the theme.
Here are my three American grandchildren playing at cleaning the kitchen. Who knew that housework could be such fun? π
Jeff and Sienna choosing cakes for a party when they visited family and friends in Johannesburg last year.
Here are two of our local lifeguards just hanging out together.
A companionable couple sitting on ourΒ bench at the end of the promenade.
A sweet old couple sitting on a bench in the sun, at our local garden nursery. π
Lastly, here are some crocodiles, all snuggled up companionably together at the crocodile park just up the road from here.

such touching images ad π
Thanks, Christine. π
I choose, first, the couple on the bench. They look very relaxed.
Second, the couple at the nursery … why??? They seem to be having so much fun.
hahaha Good choices for the challenge.
Great choices!
Thanks, Gilly. π
How dare they sit on your bench AD!!!
Those crocs – Hmmm. Companionable until they get fed I’m sure π
I know….the very cheek of it! π
Housework with friends – what a great idea! π
π
Have never seen such sweet, lovey-dovey crocs before! My favourite is the one of Jeff & Sienna choosing a cake π
Thanks, Madhu. Yes, I also love that pic. They are very close, and it shows here, even from behind. π

Wonderful selections for the theme! Beautiful photo of your grandkids π
Thanks so much, Amy. π
I’d love to have everyone as company except for the ‘companionable and sleepy crocs’. π Your photo made them look good and photogenic too. π
I’m sure those crocs would wake up if we went too close, or tried to cuddle them. π

I could really use some of that youthful energy from that trio around here Sylvia, the place is a mess. Send help soon! π
Hehehe. You’ll have to speak to their mother, Phil. She has first call. π
Wonderful images!
Thanks so much, Stefan. π
Love this post and the variety of the theme. Many enjoyable and wonderful shots. π
Thanks, Inga. I’m glad you enjoyed my pics. π

Leave it to you, Sylvia, to come up with companionable crocs! You are a croc of laughs! I love the grand kid pictures. They are too adorable. Moping up – that’s a laugh, too! π I smiled and smiled through this entire post! π Still smiling. π
Thanks so much, Marsha. Glad I gave you some smiles. π
π
Crocodiles cuddle…I never knew that.
Ah well, you always learn something new every day on the blogs. π
Great pairs …. my favorite is the statue pair. π
Thanks, Frank. Yes, they’d be no trouble at all. π

Those crocs look so docile, like concrete statues π
You’re actually so right about that, Chris. I’m sure if you went closer, you’d find out that they weren’t sculptures. π
Beautiful pictures!
Thanks so much, Danaiana. π
How cute of the grandchildren. I love the old man and lady on the seat. Great shots. Hope you had or are still having a great day. Hugs Paula xxxxx

Great take on the challenge as usual AD. I love those cute couple in the nursery. If I could afford it my garden would be filled with little statues like that. π Thanks for sharing hon. *hugs*
Thanks, Sonel. Glad you enjoyed my choice of companions. π
I’ve been away for a couple of days and found that I was missing your terribly! And then I come and found the theme – companionable. You always know how to welcome us with open arms! The photos are priceless!!!
Ah, that’s such a lovely comment, Rebecca. I’m happy that you feel this way about visiting me. π
Glad there were enough brushes to go round AD otherwise it might not have been so companionable Lol
I want to smile at the crocs ….but maybe not there’s a song about that isn’t there π
Yes, I suspect you’re right about that, Poppy. They aren’t always little angels, just as smiling crocs aren’t amiable, except in children’s songs. π

Beautiful grandchildren. My grandson from the time he was about two he loved to vacuum the carpet. One Christmas we brought him a toy dirt devil vacuum cleaner. Love your collection.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thanks, Francine. My grandson also has a toy vacuum cleaner, but he prefers to try and use the real one. π
I’d like to borrow your grandchildren…
I’m sure my DiL would love you to borrow the three of them occasionally. π
Such wonderful expressions of companions.
Thanks so much, Emily. π
what treats did grandmama give the kids after the chore? the youngest “kitchen cleaner” is so adorable with the mop twice his size!
pair of crocs…eek! great collection βΊ
Hahaha. Thanks, Sunshine. π

“Who knew that housework could be such fun?” – this can change quickly when they grow up a little π
Oh yes, don’t we know it? π
The kids look adorable with their cleaning gear. Just give it a few years though and they’ll be running away as far as possible from those things! π
Yes I’m sure you’re right, TA. Make the most of it while it lasts. π
Great choices … for the challenge .. my favorite is the crocodile photo. Great photos too.
Thanks, Viveka. Yes, sleeping crocs are cute. π
There I was, browsing the Reader (looking for Jake!), when a couple of cute kids turned up. Aww! Now whose are these? I guessed it was you right away. Shame on you, making those kids work so hard! But when I think about it, great (grand)parenting skills. π
Hahaha. Not guilty of the child labour accusation, Jo. I wasn’t even there at the time. My son sent me the pic just to show me that the house does get cleaned. π
kiddies cleaning,, reminds of my own years ago,,, never worked heehee! π
You were lucky, Gerry. I was initiated into the housework thing at a very young age. It stood me in very good stead, and hubby really appreciates the training my mom gave me. I have in turn, trained him too. π
Wonderful images!
Thanks, Cindy. π
Love the “old couple” and kids cleaning up the kitchen in such a companionable manner!
Love the calm crocodiles, so peaceful!
Thanks, Ute. Glad you like the crocs. π xx
