Friday Catch Up 08 12 2023

 I don't know if anyone noticed that I hadn't posted for a couple of weeks - I've been away to Asia visiting Thailand [Bangkok], Cambodia and Vietnam. I'm sure I will have more things to show you from there soon. But today I have photos from the newly finished 1950's aged miners cottages at Beamish Museum. I don't seem to have a photo of the outside which I shall rectify next time I go.

Pull up a Seat Photo Challenge

I remember when I was young we had three blue birds on the wall.

Thursday Doors

At the same cottages as above.

This was taken in Bangkok Flower Market, my app says it is called dendrobium.

Friday Face Off

When I first saw this also in Bangkok I thought they were made of polystyrene but it is actually fish food for a festival. I have no art to share this week.

Flowering Air plant

 

My air plant also known as Tillandsia Ionantha "Conehead". It is growing on a piece of textured wood and lives in the bathroom, I just lightly spray it with water once a week. The green spiky leaves turn red/pink when flowering. I've seen the purple flowers most years that I've had the plant but the flowers only last a couple of days before wilting.  I've read that the plant dies after flowering so the flowers I see every year must be from new pups.

Unusual flowers for FOTD

I can see a face of a wonderful creature with spiky hair and purple horns. So I've drawn it just in case you couldn't see it. Oops missed off the horns.

With this face I'm joining in with Friday Face Off
