These colourful bricks capture my attention and imagination whenever I see them, it’s no wonder they are so popular with kids big and small.

A light in the dark

We’re in the first week of the New Year and there’s already been some excitement in my house, well kind of; we had a blackout. The downside was there wasn’t a lot to do while we waited for the power to come back on, but the upside was being able to make the most of the situation and taking some photos of the pretty candles that we lit. Good thing my camera was charged.
Pink textures
This beautiful flower is growing in our garden at the moment. I don’t know what it’s called but I absolutely love the ombre colours running throughout the petals; from bright pink to the white tips. The texture, shape and depth of each petal makes this flower really stand out and a delight to look at
Glass mirrors

I love the colours of these pretty glass mirrors, and how they sparkle in the sun. Makes me want to buy one in every colour
Lake view

This lake is in a local park that I visited recently, and with the weather so sunny and bright it made the lake look really pretty. I was tempted to take a boat out but thought better of it, as knowing me I’d probably fall in!
Purple daisies

These pretty African daisies are growing in our garden at the moment and I love the ombre effect of the petals from a lovely purple to white; they certainly bring an array of colour to the flower beds
Pretty peacock

I love the dazzling colours of a male peacock. I’ve posted photos of peacocks before but this one was so tame I was able to get right up close and take a photo of it’s amazing plummage and crest.
Pretty Fuchsia

These pretty pendant flowers are called Fushia but have also been known to be called Ladies eardrops. They remind me of my childhood, of when I would squeeze the pod open between my fingers before nature could, and loving the little ‘pop’ sound they made (I don’t do it anymore though!). We still have some in our garden today and I love the bright colour and memories they bring throughout the year.
I’d love to hear what flowers make you smile or have a special place in your memory
Scarf pin jewels

I love the range of colours, shapes and sizes used in these scarf (or hijab) pins that can be used to dress up an outfit by adding a splash of colour or a hint of a sparkle. My particular favourite is the blue one which is nice and bright for upcoming summer days.
Jelly beans

I go through phases where I love jelly beans and this tiny scoop is really handy for getting at them (curtesy of my sister). My favourite flavours are the lime, watermelon and mango ones. Which ones are yours?
