Photo tag...

"go into your photo archive, pick the 4th folder in the archive, select the 4th picture in the folder, and write about it. A person then needs to tag 4 other people to do the same".

I was tagged to do this by Bonnie, over at her blog "Frogma".

so on this very wild and wintery day I'm pleasantly surprised with the photograph, its holding folder was titled 'Robbie goes Driving' so there was a fair bet you were getting a photo of a horse, but there was a run of flower photographs before him. there were three of a blue poppy, then this beautiful peony, then six pictures of an orange poppy, two of Cotton the cat and then six little mini movies of Robbie pulling his carriage.
this peony is still a small plant, it was a cutting handed fom my gardening friend Terri who lives across the road, it took a while to establish and flower, a coule of years I think. it has a short flowering season, dictated by the weather, as soon as it 'wind and rains' the petals deteriorate very quickly, but it is beautiful and worth having.

so my people to tag are

Thanks Claire, but as you can see, my tag photo went up yesterday! This tagging round seems have been popular. How about choosing another 'player'?

Love your peony - just the thing for a wintery day!

What have I started? Or,more properly, what has Nan started? It is certainly an easy and very fun exercise however. I enjoy your blog and thanks for playing.

This did not work well for me. My forth file had only one picture and it was of Argentinian Hookers. I have been amazed lately by the quality of Argentinian films made available by Netflix. Nice idea.

I read many of your other posts and was happy to do so. Love your garden thoughts.
