Sunday Picspam... with brandy butter.

[curiouswombat]

Seems to be a while since I posted any pictures - so there is a bit of a mixture under the cut - including one of those mincemeat scones with brandy butter. Oh and a gate, and a door, also sunset...

But, first, a question for friends in the Tolkien fandom from my husband.

Has anyone ever written a story that explains why (filmverse) Boromir and Faramir have such very different accents? Any explanations at all? :)

Now for the pictures which

First is a picture of those scones and brandy butter -



And the flowers on the plate remind me that I took the camera out into the backyard a week or more ago - where the only things giving any colour at all were a couple of winter pansies - and even these look a bit as if something has snacked on them.







The current set of themes at Photo-scavenger are the colours of the rainbow, one each week. (I am very proud of these prompts as I put them forward when the mods asked for suggestions - and they are getting some interesting results.)

This was the picture I took for orange - it was taken from the roadside as I drove between Port Erin and Castletown after a clinic session.



It's a pity about the red blob where the sun caught the camera lens oddly - but I like the picture.

These next ones were taken a couple of days ago at a local farm called Ballakilmartin - (The farm of St Martin's keill, nothing to do with manslaughter!). there is a footpath right through it.

The outbuildings and the gate to the front of the farmhouse caught my eye. The house is elderly, not in the best repair, but still inhabited.

I intend to use one of them for 'green', not sure which, yet.







Most of those outbuildings are weatherproof and in good repair - but the one that the farmer parks his car in has a few problems with the roof -




And because I can't resist a door, or an interesting gate...







And, if you wonder what I posted for yellow - this was my daughter's gift to me when she came home from Australia -




How cool is that?



Now - this may become an almost weekly feature for a while - a reminder that this year's WriterConUk get together is at the end of May and I would love more of my friends to come...

I think that roof is taking organic farming to extremes... :)

The scones were rather tasty, I have to say - and turned up in a piece of Tolkien fanfic (http://just-ann-now.livejournal.com/380517.html#cutid1) almost within minutes of being baked, after I mentioned that was what I was eating.

The wombat sign was such an excellent gift.
