Sue's photo prompts this week have all to do with turquoise. They are all mixed with something else, like surprise or urban or whatever.
We were driving along main street heading north to check out a new storefront to check its colour, when Sue spotted turquoise chairs outside of the ice cream shop. I already had been thinking that we needed to stop somewhere or other for a cone before summer vanished, as the season has been seen to be packing its suitcase, having booked its flight to Ecuador.
Sue found a unique photo with the two of us, but I had to hold both cones for her to get the shot.
That wasn't just the first cone of this year, but we also missed last year completely, so it was the first and only in two years. The same is true for visiting a chip truck, so I want to do that before I start behaving myself better when it comes to indulging in those calorific comestibles.
Stay tuned.




I have you beat today. I haven't had a cone in three years now.
ReplyDeleteYou should have held the cone in your right hand higher so that it looked like reflective Sue was holding it.
ReplyDeleteThese are such pleasant shots...colorful too! Glad you warned me as I was recently thinking how good a waffle cone might taste. Last year's ice cream was in a cup. So I'm overdue!
ReplyDeleteI like the choice of turquoise for their table & chairs. They are encouraging you to spend $15 on ice cream cones ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful color and Sue matches! Seeing your cones makes me realize that I didn't try any ice cream in Ireland. It was everywhere and since Ireland is known for dairy, I'm sure it would have been delicious. What flavor(s) did you get? It looks like the same one.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the last cone that I have had.
ReplyDeleteI love that last shot!
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if your cones are both “cookies and cream”…. that is one option, the other that is perhaps more likely is “moose tracks”? Or am I deceived?

Good try but not correct. Similar I suppose. Forget the exact names.
DeleteYou guys are fun. I love that last picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great time, John! Love these photos!
ReplyDeleteMmm. Lovely color, yummy looking cones! We don’t get cones often, but more often than you do. I think I’ve had a couple this summer.
ReplyDeleteWhy are cones so expensive? Is it the waffle cone driving up the price?
ReplyDeleteThe waffle was extra, but I didn't ask how much.
Delete$15 dollars??? Great photo of the two of you.
ReplyDeleteOh I need more ice cream in my life, but only Chapmans (do read about this Canadian ice cream company, quite impressive, iyam).
ReplyDeleteGood for you and Sue for indulging, John. As you know, whenever we find a new-to-us ice cream place on our travels, we have a compulsion to try it. Yes, the prices are often as exorbitant as you mentioned here, and the waffle cones always cost more 😟.
ReplyDeleteIce cream is good for you right? I like it but don't have it too often.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful day.
$15?!!!! How much is that in pounds? it sounds a crazy amount. My ice cream passion would be tempered by that.
ReplyDeleteDoes Sue suddenly scream, "Stop!" at you when she's in photo prompt mode and spots something appropriate?
Rick and I complain about the cost of ice cream cones all the time! $15 -- way too much! But since turquoise is my favorite color, I love every photo!
ReplyDeleteYou two are a wonderful pair! I enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteYay for ice cream cones! Love those chairs and the alley. But what is a chip truck???
