You are the butterfly in flight
and softly as it falls, the night
brings you home to me.” - AP

PINK AND BLUE – KITSUNA
– dedicated to the warm beauty of Summer
Why do I love the pink so much
when the sky is blue
I love to watch the sun go down
and turn my thoughts to you
I feel your hand in mine
even when you've gone
I sit here waiting patiently
quiet as the setting sun
the chill breeze wraps around me
a cloak of discontent
a momentary lapse in thinking
it tries to circumvent
I feel my cheeks blush pink
yet I am feeling blue
I wish that you were here
I hope my wish comes true
I hear a little butterfly
fluttering overhead
I know it sounds absurd
but I thought it once flashed crimson red
perhaps it caught the brightest rays
that lit it's gentle wings
the last ones; remainders of the day
blend seamlessly and bring
reminders; memories; a blessing dear
that lightens up my heart
and frees me from the loneliness
that fills the void while we're apart
someday we'll find each other again
and I'll be sat here waiting
and I will be in the pink my dear
and all my blues fade; dissipating
bathed in the pink; anticipating.

Also known as the “Blue Lake”, Lake Annecy (French: Lac d'Annecy), at the heart of the Savoy Alps, takes pride in being one of the cleanest and purest lakes in the world because of strict environmental regulations introduced in the 1960s.
It is the third largest lake in France, after the Lac du Bourget and Lac de Grand-Lieu, if the French part of Lake Geneva (which is also partly in Switzerland) is excluded.
Lake Annecy was formed 18,000 years ago, when large alpine glaciers melted. It owes its reputation to its extraordinary location, which has been the inspiration of many artists. The impressionist painter Paul Cézanne (1839-1906), inspired by the light that bathes the site and is reflected in the turquoise water, immortalised the lake with his renowned oil painting, Le Lac bleu (the Blue Lake) in 1896.
The Galloway is one of the oldest and purest of our native cattle breeds. They are famed for their hardiness and can live off the poorest of land. The Galloway female is the ideal suckler cow, and will produce an excellent beefy calf, which is in great demand by people wanting highest quality, natural grown beef. (The Galloway Cattle Society).

" I believe than when writing,
A wish you expressed,
As to how the fine ladies,
In London are dressed,
Well would you believe me,
When asked to a ball,
Faith, the dont wear no tops,
To their dresses at all
Ive seen them myself
And you would not in truth,
Know if they were bound
For a ball or a bath,
Dont go startin`them fashions now,
Mary, mo chroí [ my heart ]
Where the Mountains of Mourne,
Sweep down to the sea "

I took this view from the top of Slieve Donard in the Mourne Mountains, Co. Down. N.I. This place really gets to you. I mean it gets to you more than other similar places. Its a difficult climb too. It rises continually from sea level for 4 miles [5.5miles slope distance] to a height of 849m and the terrain is difficult, consisting of roughly flat topped boulders of varying heights laid as paving slabs. They are hell on the knees and the legs too, and just when you cant go any further, you arrive at the Mourne wall. Its straight up another 400 yds alongside it to the summit and the ground is rough and incline increases to over 40 degrees. As a friend of mine says " Your legs start screaming at you! " as they have had enough. Enjoyable though as when you reach the top you are met with this amazing view.
Funny, that you meet people here of all ages, all nationalities and from all walks of life and none of them seem to do it as a challenge but because they are somehow drawn to the place. We met a young local man who had been camping overnight. He said his Dad had passed on recently and he used to take him hiking up here all through the years so he decided to come and stay overnight in memory of him. Thats very special. Isnt it funny how people seem to want to tell you things that they normally keep to themselves when you meet them hiking up on mountains for some reason. They do say that not alone is it good for the body but its also good for the mind as well. I certainly agree with that.
Of course then there is the beautiful song. Its the sweetest thing as it talks about a time long past of the mostf wonderful gentle innocence and of the purest love that none of us, no matter who, wouldnt desire, but that only the very lucky ones ever find.
I do hope you like the picture and if you are ever this way, do go and explore the place as you will be truly captivated.
Best wishes.

Happy Days! P.
Here are Tulips from the so-called Fosteriana Group. That group of Tulips is named for the renowned Iris expert, Michael Foster (1836-1907). As far as I know, it was first described in 1906 on the basis of specimens collected in Central Asia, more specifically Bukhara, on the behalf of famous Dutch bulbs' nurseryman Cornelis Gerrit van Ubergen, jr (1845-1939). Experts on the plant were Johannes Marius Cornelius Hoog (1865-1950) and Walter Iriving (1867-1934).
There are today many hybrids and cultivars most of them quite large.
When I step into a wilderness on foot, it feels as if Ihave been transported back to a primeval world, untouched by human hands. This one lies in Montana--a designated wilderness where nature endures in its purest form. There are no roads, buildings, or machines here--only raw landscapes shaped by wind, water, and time. We are merely passing through, brief visitors in a realm that remains as it has for centuries, protected so its beauty and solitude can outlast us and be treasured by generations to come.

Sitting on the balcony in the fragrant freshness of an early morning in May .....sipping coffee ....hearing the sweet music of the songbirds .... & seeing the innocent faces of the violas in full bloom ...
Sometimes the quiet & simple joys are the purest joys of all :-)
Thanks for the visit ..... have a nice day :-)
The town starving due to drought and swarms of locust brought about old ancient customs that should have been left in the past.. They picked among the beloved daughters for a sacrifice... they picked the purest untouched soul....little did they know she would come back... Longing for love... or revenge.
Taken at Southern Roots
My heart's a lonesome island
Disaster lines it's shipwrecked shore
A fleet of souls that thought they'd found
What they'd been searchiing for
But your treasure maps were lying
There's nothing gold beneath my sand
Don't let the sea convince you
That its safer on my land
You might be a skillful sailor
With nothing but the purest aim
But I have fought so many pirates
That you now all look the same
So, take heed of my lighthouse
Even waves break on my rocks
There's a reason not a single ship
Has made it to my docks
And I wish I could offer shelter
From those storm clouds in my sky
Because you've not made it ashore
But you should know, neither have I.

Make It Rain - Ed Sheeran
When the sins of my father
Weigh down in my soul
And the pain of my mother
Will not let me go
Well I know there can come fire from the sky
To refine the purest of kings
And even though
I know this fire brings me pain
Even so
And just the same
Make it rain
Make it rain down low
Make it rain
Oh make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down low
Make it rain
Make it rain
The seed needs the water
Before it grows out of the ground
But it just keeps on getting hard
And the hunger more profound
Well I know there can come tears from the eye
But they may as well be in vain
Even though
I know these tears come with pain
Even so
And just the same
Make it rain
Make it rain down low
Make it rain
Oh make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down low
Just make it rain
Make it rain
Such a great day. Fall gives us happy and colorful moods. Warmth can come from the colors and warmth can come from moods created by Nature’s purest beauty. Letting go of the pain we may feel may not be an easy thing to do. I feel I can lose myself in beautiful music, comforting words and good conversation. We shouldn’t give in to loneliness and pain because it’s inevitable in life. We can find techniques to cope with most anything. Thanks for viewing my work.

When the sins of my father
Weigh down in my soul
And the pain of my mother
Will not let me go
Well, I know there can come fire from the sky
To refine the purest of kings
And even though
I know this fire brings me pain
Even so
And just the same
Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Make it rain
Oh, make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Make it rain
Make it rain

“I realized when you look at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know.” ~Mitch Albom
After forty-five minutes of flight, it's time to return to dry land. To brake the aircraft, it is necessary to activate the deflectors, which create an aerodynamic barrier on the wings. In addition, just before the approach, the pilot can perform a “glissade”, a kind of skid in the air that reduces altitude while maintaining low speed, ideal for little.
As it arrives on the runway at low speed, less than 70 km/h, the glider stops a few meters after touching the ground. The ability to make short landings is one of the requirements for obtaining a license to fly gliders. The pilot needs to prove that he is capable of performing a safe landing in a space 30 meters long. This experience is necessary in case the driver needs to make an emergency landing in remote regions.
The experience of flying aboard a glider is the purest and simplest concept of flight, the closest a man can get to being a bird. It is a mixture of peace, due to the almost absolute silence in the cabin due to the absence of an engine, with the excitement of flying.
PS Filmed from Glider's cockpit by me.
The phone warmed up several times and stopped working. I had to put it outside to cool it.
** I have taken a lot of shots inside churches over the years, This might well be my best attempt to photograph an interior
Beverley Minster is only seven miles from Hull and its the nearest architectural masterpiece I can visit . One of the purest examples of the English Gothic style in my opinion
Beverley Minster, otherwise known as the Parish Church of Saint John and Saint Martin. It is one of the largest parish churches in the UK, larger than one-third of all English cathedrals and is regarded as a Gothic masterpiece.
A fire in 1188 seriously damaged the minster and the town. Much of the church was damaged and complete rebuilding was required. The work would continue until 1420
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

Western Brook Pond - Gros Morne National Park
Always learning something new...I had never heard of Ulta Oligotrophic until visiting Western Brook Pond.
Information quoted below is taken from signs at Western Brook Pond, Gros Morne National Park.
"When you peer into the depths of this lake you see nothing. Scientists describe the waters of Western Brook Pond as ultra oligotrophic. This term comes from Greek words meaning "very low in nutrients". Although oxygen rich, the pond's cold waters support only a few slow-growing plants and animals.
One of the Purest Lakes in the World
Most of this water comes from clear, cold, mountain streams. Resistant bedrock, a small drainage basin, sparse plant cover, and limited human use give Western Brook Pond some of the purest water on the planet.
Resistant bedrock: The granitic rock of the Long Range plateau erodes slowly, producing very little sediment. So the water of the pond contains only low levels of the nutrients required by plants. Small drainage basin: More than twenty streams empty into the pond, but many are small and flow only in spring. The area drained by these streams is tiny compared to the volume of water in the pond.
Sparse plant cover: Glaciers left the top of the Long Range a rolling landscape of rock barrens, tundra, and alpine forest. The thin plant cover adds little organic matter to colour or cloud the water.
Limited human influence: The pond's wilderness setting has spared it from pollution by agriculture, settlement, and industry. Until the 1970s there were no permanent facilities here.
Neutral pH: This is not an acidic lake, even though some of its streams drain bogs, and natural rainwater is slightly acidic (about pH 5.6). Water from Stag Brook, the largest feeder stream, is buffered by limestone bedrock and keeps the pH of the pond approximately neutral."
Big but Fragile
All across Canada, national parks strive to protect wild places from development and economic exploitation. Western Brook Pond is just one feature of our natural heritage that must be preserved forever for Canadians to enjoy. But pressure from increasing use makes it vitally important that each of us help to preserve the pond's beauty and purity.
Slow flushing: The pond is particularly sensitive to pollution. Its only outlet is Western Brook, and it takes about 15 years for the water in the pond to be completely changed
Wind-stirred water: It looks as though pollution here would drain out the brook to the sea. However, strong winds mix the surface waters, and any pollution will spread throughout the pond.
Last of its kind: This is one of the last wild, ultra oligotrophic lakes in the world. Once lost, it can never be replaced."

Dear uncle sold her into the purest kind of slavery.
Hood-eyed little middlemen profited from damaged goods
Along the way.
Good angels brought her back to a last Nepal summer.
Debased, hollow-faced, a smile might become her.
Now she's cosied up, cosied up and comforted
In the warm flush of september.
Gone before winter.
Wondering as to might-have-beens.
Somebody's daughter in sanctuary, waiting.
Seen through softer cage of kindness,
far and further still away,
From time-warp victorian zoos
Where staring ice cream gameboys play.
Big paws, worn claws and swishing tails.
More damaged goods in the market sales.
Too proud for anger, too late for hate: resigned in dignity.
Gone before winter.
Purring might-have-beens.
Somebody's kitten in sanctuary, waiting.
Somebody near you in sanctuary, waiting.
The Cathedral
The magnificent Cathedral on the Bayou was built in the late 1920s. The huge Roman Basilica style building is 70 feet wide by 250 feet long and is considered the purest example of Italian Romanesque architecture in the South. It features a beautiful water fountain and courtyard leading to massive exterior columns matched by huge oak doors.

I cut this little girl on the left and changed his reflection,
but in the original photo his attention was especially nice.
She was completely absorbed in following the steps in the creation of blown glass.
In effect see how a glass rod becomes a sphere or other shapes is really interesting and fun.....and magical !! :))
This street artist was with his family and took turns with his father, surely his teacher.

Is it not fine to walk in spring,
When leaves are born, and hear birds sing?
And when they lose their singing powers,
In summer, watch the bees at flowers?
Is it not fine, when summer's past,
To have the leaves, no longer fast,
Biting my heel where'er I go,
Or dancing lightly on my toe?
Now winter's here and rivers freeze;
As I walk out I see the trees,
Wherein the pretty squirrels sleep,
All standing in the snow so deep:
And every twig, however small,
Is blossomed white and beautiful.
Then welcome, winter, with thy power
To make this tree a big white flower;
To make this tree a lovely sight,
With fifty brown arms draped in white,
While thousands of small fingers show
In soft white gloves of purest snow.

She's a butterfly
Pretty as the crimson sky
Nothing's ever gonna bring her down
And everywhere she goes, everybody knows
She's so glad to be alive
She's a butterfly
Like the purest light in a darkened world
So much hope inside such a lovely girl
You should see her fly, it's almost magical
It makes you wanna cry, she's so beautiful
She's a butterfly

Although I don't actually like doing this, it's also my photo for the Looking Close ... on Friday Group too. Would have happily not taken a photo at all today, but with only 66 days left, it did seem a pity to drop out now. Thank you to the Looking Close ... on Friday theme. :)

CASTLE STALKER,where many scenes from Monty Python's "Monty Python and the Holy Grail " were filmed
King Arthur: I am your king.
Peasant Woman: Well, I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Peasant Woman: Well, how'd you become king, then?
[Angelic music plays... ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.
Dennis the Peasant: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Arthur: Be quiet!
Dennis the Peasant: You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
Arthur: Shut up
Dennis the Peasant: I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
Arthur: [grabs Dennis] Shut up! Will you shut up?!
Dennis: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system!
Arthur: [shakes Dennis] Shut up!
Dennis: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I'm being repressed!
Arthur: Bloody Peasant!
Dennis: Ooh, what a giveaway!
One of the many deer trails regularly travelled and far more obvious in the winter. The temperatures have happily moderated (it is now 15F/-15C) to the point where one is encouraged to go out and enjoy the fresh air...which shall be done immediately after this posting. In addition, a very light and pleasing snow has been falling consistently all this windless day, again (and finally) blanketing the trees and displaying that singular beauty when every branch and evergreen needle is highlighted in purest white. Photos of that, hopefully, to follow...
yay for snowdrops - just watching those cute little messengers of spring makes me happy.

Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest
elements in human happiness.
It trains the mind through the eye,
and the eye through the mind.
As the sun colours flowers,
so does art colour life.
― John Lubbock
I've always felt that animals are the purest
spirits in the world. They don't fake or hide their
feelings, and they are the most loyal creatures
on Earth. And somehow we humans think we're
smarter .. what a joke.

Uncontrolled feelings of anger, rage, and even hatred. Wrath often reveals itself in the wish to seek vengeance. In its purest form, wrath presents with injury, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries.

What teh hell is wrong with us? Is this where the entertainment industry has taken us? What happened to suspense and leaving anything to our own imaginations? Mine has been feed violence, distrust for authority (and no wonder why)... is this where we're headed? I hope not.
Sheesh friends, In trying to be spooky for the Halloween season I've gone and terrified myself. I'm not afraid of ghosts and monsters anymore. WE are the monsters.
