The evening breeze caressed the trees, tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze, tenderly
Then you and I came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist, tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly
The evening breeze erased the trees, tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze, tenderly
Then you and I came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
Oh, the shores were kissed by the mist, tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met, tenderly
Your arms opened wide
And closed me inside
You took my chops away from pops, tenderly
Oh tenderly
Tenderly
Oh, oh

Being the first to cross the finish line makes you a winner in only one phase of life. It's what you do after you cross the line that really counts.
Ralph Boston
What really matters is that you do what you think is right, what you believe in, and you surround yourself with the people you care about in this world. That's what counts in this life.
Brian Dennehy
It isn't where you came from, its where you're going that counts. Ella Fitzgerald
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

No cotton here, but the barley is growing apace ;o)
The world has a backdrop of green here, and the intensity and delicacy of the various flowers from wild red roses to gentler daisies and these tiny chrysanthemums. I cut them to bring the summer indoors, as well as leaving the doors and windows open to let the fragrance of honeysuckle and roses in too.

Let’s do it
Let’s fall in love
*Working Towards a Better World
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying. -
Michael Jordan
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. -
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong. - Ella Fitzgerald
Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like them. - Stacy London
Being yourself is one of the hardest things because it's scary. You always wonder whether you'll be accepted for who you really are. I decided to call my record 'Inside Out' because that's my motto about life. I don't think you ever succeed at trying to be anyone else but who you truly are. -
Emmy Rossum
Survival can be summed up in three words - never give up. That's the heart of it really. Just keep trying. - Bear Grylls
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️

The beach, sea and sky merged into a single sponge-like form whenever there were storms at Ministract Island.
To pass the time, we'd sit in the beach hut listening to Ella and Louis or Billie and by the time we'd finished arguing about whose version was best the storm would have passed...

Well it looks rather warmer than it was ... summer has been fleeting this year, and hot days quite rare! But the loch at Fyvie Castle is the best way to enjoy any sunny morning. 😊

Summertime · Ella Fitzgerald · Louis Armstrong
Summertime and the livin′ is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy′s rich and your ma is good lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings
You gonna rise up singin′
Yes, you′ll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
Mm, but ′til that morning
There is nothin' can harm you
Yes, with daddy and mommy standin′ by .............

Lyrics to the song Black Coffee by Ella Fitzgerald:
I'm feeling mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor and watch the door
And in between I drink
Black Coffee
Love's a hand me down brew
I'll never know a Sunday
In this weekday room
I'm talking to the shadows
1 o'clock to 4
And Lord, how slow the moments go
When all I do is pour
Black Coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hanging out on Monday
My Sunday dream's too dry
Now a man is born to go a lovin'
A woman's born to weep and fret
To stay at home and tend her oven
And drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes
I'm moody all the morning
Mourning all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much hard to fight
Black Coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's driving me crazy just waiting for my baby
To maybe come around
My nerves have gone to pieces
My hair is turning gray
All I do is drink black coffee
Since my man's gone away
Love was blown away by the night wind
And the dream we shared fell apart
Now I'm all alone in the night wind
Wind that brought the blues to my heart...

-[ T is for A Tisket A Tasket -+- Ella Fitzgerald (1958) ]-
Artone/Verve VV20.017 | Recording: USA | Pressing: Holland
A re-recording of a tune she originally recorded two decades earlier, replacing the original fox trot beat with a perky conga sound. The track was a modified and expanded take on a very familiar nursery rhyme.
This pressing is misprinted: the song listed on the A side (and featured here) is actually on the flip (B) side. The B-side track, Goody Goody, is on the A side. On US Verve copies, Goody Goody is the A-side and Tisket on the flip; matrix numbers stamped in the runouts of this copy are based on the US catalog numbers and help reveal the error.
Eliza1946, described her love for lavendar and red roses as "i'm in heaven". These words are lyrics expressed in the song, Cheek to Cheek. My favorite version of this song is by Lous Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald
To hear their version of the song, the url address is provided...

( EXPLORED!!! ) A rare HDR shot from me.
No one knows the plan designed for them, not even this piano. One year it's sitting in Detroit's premier African-American Luxury Hotel, being played by Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and others that stayed here during the 40's and 50's, and the next it's had all it's legs knocked off and stuck in a building owned by a city that would rather cement it's windows shut than renovate it.
Happy, sunny Valentine's Day💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
My Funny Valentine - Ella Fitzgerald
My funny valentine.💓
Sweet comic valentine.
You make me smile with my heart.
And your looks, your looks are laughable, unphotographable.
Yet you're my favorite work of art.
Is your figure less than Greek.
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me, not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine. Please stay
Each day is valentine's.
Each day is valentine's day.💗💗💗
It is very important for me to grab the camera and document the beautiful light, and warm colours. Also because every year I am very surprised that the summer ends just as fast as it begins.
Maybe summer photography is one of my favourites, just because the subjects reminds me of the joy that the lovely song Summertime with Ella Fitzgerald brings to me.
´Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry.´
Press "L" for better view.
I've been trying for months to illustrate one of my favourite Cole Porter songs. And now this week's Prompt Addicts "Letters" had me struggling for an image too. So I combined the two and I hope the result makes you smile, and maybe hum along with Ella Fitzgerald too ;o)

I'm talkin' about de food I sells
When I done talkin' about de food I sells
Talkin' about devil crab.
Now I's talkin' about yo' pocketbook
I'm talkin' about devil crabs, she crab, she crab,
Devil crab, I'm talkin' about de food I sells...

The commercial crab season has been on hold for two months because the migrating whales get caught in their lines...So us little guys are enjoying the effects of there not having tons of pots full of stinky bait...

Don't judge a girl by her chair...or was that her cover? Well meet my new love ...bunch this is chair, chair this is bunch.
10 days till I move woot woot!! Hope you all have a smashing day!
A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes
A fine romance, you won't nestle
A fine romance, you won't wrestle
I might as well play bridge
With my old maid aunt
I haven't got a chance
This is a fine romance

The cotton is high in a field near the University Hospital (discernible in the background) in Larissa, Greece. It is late afternoon.
Photograph captured by listening to Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong’s masterpiece:
Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping AND THE COTTON IS HIGH…

Other Title
Caption from Down Beat: A cliché worth repeating is that Ella is the greatest natural singer in the world. It's a thought that hits you anew every time you hear the gal rock. Believe me, that diamond studded queen's crown she wears on her bosom is no uncalled-for affectation
