a shot from when the northster and i visited the zoo some two weekends ago.
i arrived this morning at the office to find a vase filled with large peonies and a large box of Lindt truffles. there are still a few people who like me, i suppose. the gifts were from my young friend with the same name, the young victoria. last year she desperately wanted to find out when my birthday was. i've been giving her clues and still she couldn't guess it. we had been friends on facebook for quite a few years and i told her that if she was paying attention, she would have no difficulty finding out the date. i told her that this year, i decided that my birthday is in september. :-D next year, i will have to pick another month.
well, flick it! "flick this" is this week's five plus two theme. i have been struggling for ideas for self portraits lately. but check out my post this week; i rather think you'd be impressed -- not so much with the photo but with the idea. https://365project.org/fiveplustwo/365/2019-07-03
Great summery colors! I'm always forgetting my friend JoAnn's birthday so at some random date I send her an unbirthday card and gift!
I received a notice that you mentioned me in a private photo- but I can't see the comment because it's a private album. So...not sure what to do about that!
@olivetreeann@salza Lovely flowers - and a nice surprise "birthday" gift from your friend. And strangely enough - I also received a similar notification to the one mentioned by Ann and Sally. :)
@olivetreeann it sounds like you don't have access to Vikki's private photos? Tagging does not give you access, it has to be granted via the "Followers" screen.
@olivetreeann@salza@robz@30pics4jackiesdiamond@merrelyn - sorry, ladies, let me explain myself here. i was gathering a list of all those who participated in the one-week-only challenge to thank, and i sometimes do my draft in my private photos. rather stupidly, i clicked 'post comment' to save the list and as soon as i did, it occurred to me that you would be getting a notification as a result and that you'd be wondering why you couldn't access the photo. i apologize for the boo-boo. ross was right about tagging with private photos. none of those private photos are worth viewing anyway but i keep them to keep track of some things i do around here on 365. a big SORRY.
@Scrivna - apologies go to you, too, ross. hope we didn't wake you up from your nap for nothing. :-)
@Scrivna Thanks for the reply Ross- you are really so good about answering our questions, fixing spam and keeping track of things here. I brag about 365 all the time!
@summerfield Ok- thanks for the explanation! I didn't want to miss out on anything! (o;
