Determination, poodle and milk phenomenon.

1. There are violets growing up out of the tarmac under the wall between the pavement and the carpark.

2. A white poodle and a black sheepdog racing for a ball. The black dog was so winning that the poodle turned round and stepped back to its people in a dignified manner, pretending that it hadn't wanted the ball anyway. It looked like it was wearing white disco trousers.

3. When you forget about a milky cup of coffee for 24 hours, the cream in the milk makes a strange white swirl on the surface.
