The Numbers Game #4 , Jan 15, 2024

The doll pictured above  was my favorite doll, ever. It was a Tiny Tears doll. You could feed it water through a bottle and it would either cry tears or pee. The body eventually rotted away, probably through accumulated “pee” that I neglected to rid her of, but I still have her head. And one of her arms and hands, I think.

Today’s Post is pictures numbered 125. Click on photos to enlarge.

Welcome to “The Numbers Game #4”  Today’s number is 125. To play along, go to your photos file and type that number into the search bar. Then post a selection of the photos you find under that number and include a link to your blog in my Numbers Game blog of the day. If instead of numbers, you have changed the identifiers of all your photos into words, pick a word or words to use instead, and show us a variety of photos that contain that word in the title.

This prompt will repeat each  Monday with a new number. If you want to play along, please put a link to your blog in comments below.

Echeveria Crimson Tide, Jan 12, 2024

Even though Cee is taking a break, there is no rest for the wicked so it has been decreed that I have to keep posting a flower a day until she comes back… and then continue for forever!!! This Echeveria Crimson Tide, although not a flower, is as pretty as one and the bonus is that it actually is flowering!
