W11. Scatterday 'A'- Round Things, Vegetable & Something I like the smell of., originally uploaded by Pennie David.
This saying popped up when I made this Mosaic… I thought it most apt! LOL "There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion." — Francis Bacon
Round Things - Animal Babushkas, I even have a Round Alligator Animal ☺
Vegetables - Asparagus growing in my garden - Asparagus cut - Asparagus cooked and ready to eat.
Something I LOVE the Smell of - “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” (With apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning) LOL Anise, Anisette, Star Anise and Aniseed.
Savoury - Chinese 5 Spice, Aniseeds and Star Anise.
Drink - Pastis is an anise-flavored liqueur and apéritif from France, I did bring a bottle back with me a couple of years ago but I can’t find it now and I know I didn’t drink it so I must have given it to one of the children. Marie Brizard Anisette is the one I really love but is impossible to find in Australia. (I know those of you who know me will be surprised by this declaration because I don’t drink Alcohol but I just love the smell of these Liqueurs and only have a teaspoon at a time.
Sweets - Licorice and Humbugs smell beautifully of Anise, if only I still had some Aniseed Balls left this would have made my three.

Brilliant again you always seem to come up with the best

Pennie, I love your artistically arranged asparagus, but I have to disagree with you on the delightfullness of aniseed - yecccch! I always threw away the black jelly beans!
As usual, Pennie, I love all your choices. I have to wrack my brains to even manage three photos. I am feeling very remedial.
Ah Pennie - those babushkas are going to carry you through a lot of categories! Love all your photos.
Gorgeous photos Pennie, and I love your little round animals. :-)
Star anise is such a pretty thing to look at.
Now Pennie, about those asparagus "growing" in your garden.... hmmmm...
:-)
Snap on the asparagus! Only I didn't wrap mine - is that prosciutto? Yummy! Just to be opposite, though, I really hate that aniseed flavour. What amazing animal babushkas. Is there a letter of the alphavet that you don't have a babushka for?
Fantastic as usual Pennie you have a great flare for this game.
Also love your row by row
Di... Could you please throw your Black Jelly beans my way! I can't believe some people don't just love Anise!! It's very medicinal you know!! LOL
Dy... And... yes... Confession time... I did make little holes and put those Asparagus into them in a space of my herb garden but they looked real enough for David to think I'd grown them and he lives here!!
Nola... Yes Prosciutto, Yum! Now I will have to go and check my Babushkas to see if I have the whole Alphabet :-)
Christina... try opening a Flickr account and make a mosaic from there.
