yellow is the color of my true love′s hair

In the mornin' when we rise

In the mornin′ when we rise

That's the time, that's the time

I love the best

 

Blue′s the color of the sky

In the mornin′ when we rise

In the mornin' when we rise

That′s the time, that's the time

I love the best

 

Green′s the color of the sparklin' corn

In the mornin′ when we rise

In the mornin' when we rise

That's the time, that′s the time

I love the best

 

Mellow is the feelin′ that I get

When I see her, mm-hmm

When I see her, uh-huh

That's the time, that′s the time

Freedom is a word I rarely use

Without thinkin', mm-hmm

Without thinkin′, mm-hmm

Of the time, of the time

When I've been loved...........

My favourite colour is green closely followed by red and birght colours lit by the sun. Here are a few brightly coloured spring plants

Just having some more fun with the camera here, the autumn colours have been so beautiful here.

Park in Radziejowice in the sunny Autumn day :)

 

Radziejowice is a village in Poland, in Żyrardów County, on the Pisia Gągolina river. The main monument In Radziejowice is the palace and park complex, which now forms a classicistic palace, a neo-Gothic "small castle", larch manor house reconstructed in the 1980s, a Swiss house, a former smithy and a park with a pond. Next to the pond is located a stone mill, which is a replica of a wooden building made in the 70s. In the village are also two linden alleys protected as a natural monument.

Park w Radziejowicach w pogodny jesienny dzień :)

 

Radziejowice – wieś w Polsce położona w województwie mazowieckim, nad rzeką Pisią Gągoliną. Głównym zachowanym zabytkiem jest zespół pałacowo-parkowy w Radziejowicach, który tworzą obecnie klasycystyczny pałac, neogotycki zameczek, zrekonstruowany w latach 80. XX wieku, dworek modrzewiowy, domek szwajcarski, dawna kuźnia i park ze stawem. Obok stawu, na tzw. wyspie, zlokalizowany jest murowany młyn, będący repliką budynku drewnianego, wykonaną w latach 70. XX wieku. Przez wieś przebiegają także zabytkowe aleje lipowe chronione jako pomnik przyrody. Według podań lipy sadzone były przed Potopem szwedzkim.

After a detour to search for a lost mountain (possible story for another post) we turned south to head back through Assynt. On the way down we noticed some decent coastal views and randomly headed up a short 'dead end' to see what we could find. The road offered a viewpoint across Loch an Obain and the islands of Badcall Bay. Some lovely colour on the hills was complemented nicely by these Mare's Tail, Cirrus clouds building from the west.

... of a new day !

 

Happy Sunday !

The Christmas connection to poinsettias comes from a Mexican legend which tells of a poor girl who dreams of bringing a beautiful gift to favour the Virgin Mary for a Christmas Eve service, yet has nothing worthy.

 

On the way to Church, she meets an angel who tells her to pick some weeds. She kneels by the roadside and, despite her protests that they are far from desirable, gathers a handful of common weeds and makes her way to a small chapel where she places her offering on the altar.

 

The moment she does, they burst into blooms of brilliant red poinsettias and her sorrow turns to joy. The Mexicans renamed it Flor de Nochebuena (Christmas Eve Flower).

 

Poinsettias are native to Mexico, where the Aztecs used them in the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries both for medicinal purposes and for making dye.

 

Poinsettias are 'short day plants', meaning they flower when there are less than 12 hours' daylight, to ensure the minimum of competitors of pollinating insects.

All colours are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites.

Marc Chagall.

  

Marc Zakharovich Chagall (6 July 1887 – 28 March 1985) was a Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. An early modernist, he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in virtually every artistic format, including painting, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramic, tapestries and fine art prints.

 

Art critic Robert Hughes referred to Chagall as "the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century" (though Chagall saw his work as "not the dream of one people but of all humanity"). According to art historian Michael J. Lewis, Chagall was considered to be "the last survivor of the first generation of European modernists". For decades, he "had also been respected as the world's preeminent Jewish artist". Using the medium of stained glass, he produced windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz, windows for the UN, and the Jerusalem Windows in Israel. He also did large-scale paintings, including part of the ceiling of the Paris Opéra.

 

Before World War I, he travelled between Saint Petersburg, Paris and Berlin. During this period he created his own mixture and style of modern art based on his idea of Eastern European Jewish folk culture. He spent the wartime years in Soviet Belarus, becoming one of the country's most distinguished artists and a member of the modernist avant-garde, founding the Vitebsk Arts College before leaving again for Paris in 1922.
