Monochrome Weekend.

The flooded path alongside an over-full small lake.

This is Aileni's theme, and many monochromes can be found on the monochrome site.

ABC Wednesday - Z.

Here we are on the final letter of Round 5 of ABC Wednesday.
Although after today I shall no longer be part of the Team, I shall still try to produce a weekly contribution. Why? Because I enjoy the challenge and the friendship. Thanks Denise for this great idea!

For this week's post - the letter Z - I'm returning to my collection of stones and gems.
Z
is for
ZOISITE.

Zoisite is a green mineral used for gemstones or carvings (Wiki article here.)

I'm showing my specimens agianst two different backgrounds because of the way they alter the appearence of the colours.

These stones are natural and unworked. They'd look much brighter if they were polished. The chunks of red in the green are actually ruby!

More Z posts can be found through the ABC Wednesday page.
Enjoy!

ABC Wednesday - Y

This week we've reached the letter
Y.

I have so little beginning with Y in my collections!
There can be no doubt, however, that I have a large collection of all kinds of jewellery. Some of it is yellow, and one necklace in particular is Y-shaped!

I also have this little glass and metal ornament, which I intend to call a Yacht!

And that ends my offering for this week. Next week is Z .....
More Y entries can be found through the ABC page. Y not go and enjoy them?
