Photo Hunt 24 September 2021 - Ball

And it's Friday again!  No idea where the past few days have gone and I'm writing this 'just in time'!!

Initially I thought this would be a hard word for me as I do play any sports, have no children nor pets.  So on with my thinking cap and this is what I came up with.

Take on Christmas ball (ie bauble) and crochet a jacket for 

it, in 2 pieces.

Insert ball and sew halves together.

Voila!

Hang on the tree and make

some more!

Nearby (quarter of a mile away?) is our local nature reserve, Ball Grove Park.  I often walk there.

Incoming!

Nearly fell over this heron.

Mist of the water thundering over the rocks.

Earlier this year ducklings!

Snuggling under mum.

Perhaps it's warm enough.

There are lots of other birds there apart from Mallard ducks.

I like to feed the ducks......  and goose!

I always have a ball when I walk there.

Used an old tennis ball to make the top of the metal stake

a bit easier on my hand as I use it to pull myself up

the slope (dodgy knee!).

A ball bearing.....

Box to prove it is a bearing!

A ball valve.....

Open position, the ball is moved so the fluid can

pass through the valve.

Closed position; the ball stops any fluid passing through.

The benefits (??!!) of being married to an engineer....

Right, that's all from me this week.  I did have other ideas for Ball but ran out of time to take the photos.  I walked past someone's garden then week and I could see a well chewed football there but I was polite and did not take a photo!

This is the last word for September from Astrid.  Click here to return to her page.  I wonder what delightful words she'll give us for October.

Bye!
