Spring's coming

 I looked after this bush for years, probably about 30, as somehow it ended up split right down the middle. Probably the kids or the dog or a combination of both. This year it has thrived and is growing like Topsy. I always thought it was a daphne bush but it's not and I don't know the name of it. I'm pleased it's thriving but disappointed it's not what I was hoping, daphne has such a lovely scent. But I'll keep it when the bushes round about are cut down soon by son in law. I've nurtured it too long for it to go now. 😊

Painted stone

 I 'hid' my painted stone on the drinking fountain at the playground. Can you see it?

A snow day

 Theo's snowman. I'm cheating today and putting up this pic Theos mum sent us. Too cold to go out if we don't have to, even to get a photo. Schools are out for a snow day.

Where's mine?

 This boy was watching through the window while Sooty had his meal.

Traffic cones

 Traffic cones at the end of our street. New pipes going in for the new subdivision.

My choice

My great grandmother. I love this photo of her. They were well to do, I think you can tell from the photo she was a gentlewoman.

This was my second choice for the black and white challenge.
