For the looking close...on Friday group theme 'dots and stripes' Cutlery on a tray. Have a great weekend ;0)

So you speak to me of sadness

And the coming of the winter

Fear that is within you now

It seems to never end

And the dreams that have escaped you

And the hope that you've forgotten

You tell me that you need me now

You want to be my friend

And you wonder where we're going

Where's the rhyme and where's the reason

And it's you cannot accept

It is here we must begin

To seek the wisdom of the children

And the graceful way of flowers in the wind

 

For the children and the flowers

Are my sisters and my brothers

Their laughter and their loveliness

Could clear a cloudy day

Like the music of the mountains

And the colours of the rainbow

They're a promise of the future

And a blessing for today

 

Though the cities start to crumble

And the towers fall around us

The sun is slowly fading

And it's colder than the sea

It is written from the desert

To the mountains they shall lead us

By the hand and by the heart

They will comfort you and me

In their innocence and trusting

They will teach us to be free

 

For the children and the flowers

Are my sisters and my brothers

Their laughter and their loveliness

Could clear a cloudy day

And the song that I am singing

Is a prayer to non believers

Come and stand beside us

We can find a better way

Nash Point is a headland and beach in the Monknash Coast of the Vale of Glamorgan in south Wales, about a mile from Marcross. It is a popular location for ramblers and hiking along the cliffs, as well as a “must do” on the photographers’’ to-do list

 

A rocky wave-cut platform peppered with pools and gullies covers the bay lies at the base of a sphynx-like rocky headland that positively glows in the golden hour when the sun is out

 

With the Covid lockdown finally starting to wind down in Wales, Nash Point is conveniently only a 45 minute drive from where I work in Cardiff

PETER:

Boooooo

 

OLEG: (is sleeping on the couch and startled

awake.)

What's going on here?

What are you doing Peter and get that spider off my face.

Ugh...ugh...what kind of smoke is that. It itches

 

PETER:

Happy Halloween Oleg!

That spider is called Spidy and is my pet. And the smoke is fake. It's a kind of powder.

How do you know it's me by the way, I'm hiding under a white curtain.

 

OLEG:

Because the curtain is transparent.

And that spider has to go outside.

 

PETER:

I take him out regularly and he gets bread and milk.

 

OLEG:

Peter ...... Spiders eat flies and no bread and drink no milk.

 

PETER:

Oh...that's why he doesn't eat.

Ok...I'm going outside to look for flies. Oleg?

 

OLEG:

Yes what ?

 

PETER:

Are you angry now because I scared you?

 

OLEG:

Sigh...I can't be mad at you because I love you. Well...go on...go let Spidy out.

 

PETER:

Thank you Oleg...I love you very much too.

.. and just like that the clouds parted, and with its last dying light, the sun breathed fire over the icy waters while the seas roared against the rocks in a winter fury.

The view from the holiday cottage 'Penfor' in Anglesey we stayed at... could get used to it permanently i think!! ;)

Francesco Clemente (born 23 March 1952 in Naples)

Gouache on sixteent papers of handmade Pondicherry paper, joined with hand-woven cotton strips

 

From the exhibition devoted to this artist at the Albertina Museum in Vienna

 

Francesco Clemente is one of the main representatives of the postmodern Italian Transavantgarde (Italian: Transavantguardia). Transavanguardia is the Italian version of Neo-expressionism. The paintings by Basquiat that I showed you before are also classified as Neo-expressionism.

Mural painting depicting the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus breastfeeding - with an angel watching, dating to the 14th century.

 

At the church Sant'Andrea, itself dating to the 13th century (first mentioned 1236 - when it replaced an earlier church at the same place) and built in the Romanesque style. The church was badly damaged by bombings during the second world war but has been restored to its original looks.

While I did not get the birds, I did get the bees...at work doing what they do. I would have liked to catch the bee just a bit sharper, but I thought this one image pretty much summed up springtime.

Peter, Oleg and Bernus are on their way to Hakus the brother of Bernus. It's not going as fast as expected. It is still 50 km (31.07 mi) to go.

It has now become autumn and there is a lot of wind and rain.

 

BERNUS:

How lucky we have found this umbrella. Now we can stay dry.

 

PETER:

I have my own umbrella!

 

OLEG:

That is a mushroom and it is not suitable for the rain Peter.

 

PETER:

Have a look ..... It is getting lighter! The rain is almost over and then we can hit the road again!

Peter and Oleg are sightseeing in Lembeck Germany

 

PETER:

Oleg ..... the bear on that wall is staring at me.

 

OLEG:

Yeah so?

 

PETER:

I do not like that.

 

OLEG:

He has eyes to see.

 

PETER:

He doesn't have to look at me all the time.

 

OLEG:

Wait...wait...Peter! What are you going to do??

 

Peter walks to the bear on the wall.

 

PETER:

Hello.... Can I ask you something?

 

BEAR:

No

 

PETER You keep staring at me.

 

BEAR:

Yes....You are such a funny little bear.

 

PETER:

I'm not funny and little.

 

BEAR:

Yes you are.

 

PETER (gets angry)

No....I'm not!

 

OLEG:

Hullo (greeting kindly). I'm Oleg and this is Peter (pointing to Peter) We are from the Netherlands and we are sightseeing. It's so beautiful here!

 

BEAR:

Do you think?

I've lived here for so long and don't see anything nice anymore. I'm terribly bored.

 

OLEG:

Why don't you go on vacation for a few weeks. I think you need that.

 

BEAR: Good idea, but where should I go?

 

OLEG: You can come with us to the Netherlands.

I ask Mummy Marian, I'm sure she'll likes it.

But.... first you have to be friends with Peter, and we want to know your name.

 

BEAR:

Ok....sorry Peter for my behavior. I was bored and that's why I started staring at you. You can call me Benny.

 

OLEG:

I do want to be your friend Benny! You too Peter?

 

PETER:

Well...okay then

 

BENNY:

Now we are friends!

 

OLEG:

Let's go friends!

Early'ish morning and the sun is climbing over Castrelrigg Fell and is illuminating Abbots Bay.

These little plants looked so pretty in the light. Kneeling down to the ground, it's like a whole new world appears and especially when viewing it through the camera with that lovely shallow Dof. The reflected light in the water gave this that glow.

I'm no bird expert but I think these are male and female house sparrows. The garden used to be full of sparrows when I was young but don't seem to see too many around these days.

 

Thanks for all the kind comments and favs on my recent uploads; they are very much appreciated.

Blue and green, white and black, colors of cold, world grows old. Soon enough it will fall asleep, to be reborn new and clean. But not yet, first, some shadows and sadness must be casted, like tears of rain and haze of mist.
