Strawberries & Windmills

Category: Anna's PhotosChrisM @ 4:31 pm

A week later we were in Chubary again. The nice weather seems to have continued (Anna is wearing a sun hat and isn’t being told it is too cold for shorts, so I’m assuming it was nice and warm), and it looks as though the strawberries had already ripened.
The other photo shows one of Anna’s current loves – windmills. I need to go and check that is the right name in English. Anyway, she has a lot “planted” in the garden now, around her play area, and it doesn’t seem to take too much of a breeze to get them spinning madly. Even prettier if you’ve had a few drinks first. From MY experience that is, not Anna’s 🙂

    Yep, definitely pinwheels. Not heard them called whirligigs before. Beautiful peonies btw 🙂

      I wikied the name, and whirligigs were linked to. They tend to be more ornate/complex and not even necessarily wind powered, but it would appear that pinwheels could be considered a subset of whirligigs.
      I’ll pass on your peonies compliment to Ira’s Mum.
