The famous Vorontsov Palace is located in Alupka (Crimea) at the foot
of Ai-Petri Mountain. It is a stunning palace surrounded by a wonderful
park, the summer residence of the Governor of Novorossiya Mikhail Vorontsov
. His father was the Russian ambassador to England, and Mikhail spent his childhood in
London, which is why he had such an interest in everything English. And the palace
is built in the spirit of an English castle. It was created in 1828-1848. The author
of the project is the court architect of Queen Victoria of England, Edward
Blore. The southern facade faces the sea, where the famous "Lion Terrace" is located.
The northern facade is designed in the style of a medieval castle and faces the mountain.
Ai-Petri. Different architectural styles are combined in one building,
but it looks like an integral and unique ensemble. The park is no less beautiful and unusual. There is wildlife (
boulders, waterfalls), ponds, glades, shady groves, trees and flowers from
all over the world. And the palace itself has a Winter Garden with a variety
of rare plants, flowers and marble sculptures.
The palace is built of local diabase stone,
which is twice as strong as granite. Even its gray-green color fits into the Crimean
landscape.
Since 1921, the Vorontsov Palace has been A MUSEUM.

Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't have the girl I love
I won't have none at all...

I came upon this shady grove a few years back. I'm intrigued by the intimate arrangement of the chairs. I look at this image a lot and wonder if the chairs are ever occupied ... and imagine the hushed conversation that must take place here.
I used to have an old banjo
The strings were made of twine
The only song that it would play
Was "Trouble on my Mind"...

The last of the 1999 Polaroids.
Our little Sadie girl at just over one year old; the only dog of this 1999 Polaroid bunch who is still alive and living with us, now over 17 years old.
She's an amazing little girl and many of you know her wonderful story.
Thanks for comments and faves and following us in these old Polaroid images. We soon will return to our irregularly scheduled program.
Small town of nostalgia …. Shady Grove welcomes you with Texaco Service Station .
The happy times , when baby boomers were born , when nobody was questioning economic and political power of North America.
Shady Grove is hidden jewel of Fraser Valley. Fantastic collection of cars surrounded by 1920's General Store , 50's Diner and Car Dealership , Stores and inside of the house. Great place to visit and see iconic images of the golden era .
Many Thanks to Abe and Elaine for letting us visit there private museum – Thank You so much!

I finally went back home for a visit. While I was there, my brother-in-law caught this guy on his way from work, threw him into the front passenger floorboard, and brought him on home. You really do have to watch your fingers and toes with these creatures, because if you are just a little bit careless, you might lose something really important.
I'll give you three guesses as to who fished him out of the car once they arrived, and the first two don't count. LOL
Once a redneck, I reckon....

General Store - Shady Grove … time to pay .
I could spend some serious time photographing all the little details . I heard about the General store and Diner so I took with me some “cash” . I hope that it makes this image less “museum like” . I like “Fine Art” and hope to try more of this . Maybe I just will return to Shady Grove

This was shot in one of the earliest graveyards in the area. It's located at the end of a dead end road. The old church building across from here is on the national register of historic places . It's so far away from civilization, there is zero light pollution. You can clearly see the milky way.

Sadie received a flying letter/birthday card for her 18th birthday all the way from Great Britain from our friend Caroline . Thanks so much, Caroline, what a precious and lovely little gift.
Shady Grove and the Unitarians in SA.
Unitarianism is not well known is SA. There have ever only been two churches, the one here at Shady Grove and the landmark beautiful large church in Wakefield Street opposite St. Francis Xavier Catholic Cathedral. This grand Unitarian stone church with the beautiful hexagonal tower at the front was built in 1856. It closed in 1971 when the State government acquired the site. They demolished the church in 1973 to build a government office block which stands on the corner of Gawler Place and Wakefield Street. The Unitarians then moved to a new church at 99 Osmond Tce, Norwood. But what distinguishes Unitarians from other churches? The brief summary here does not convey the complexities and subtleties of the Unitarian creed but will suffice for our history excursion today. Unitarianism emerged during the Reformation in the late 1500s but then it re-emerged as a modern church in England from 1774. The Unitarians rejected the concept of the Holy Trinity. Jesus was just an exceptional man. They were rationalists and realists so they rejected the concept of a spiritual force, the virgin birth, miracles and eventually the resurrection of Christ. They rejected the concept of original sin and they saw the Bible as man’s interpretation of Christ with much religious folklore in it. They believe in a unitary God - Christ. They believe in intellectual freedom and practical Christianity- love, peace, freedom, liberty and respect for all. They believe all can be saved by devotion to Christ and Christian living.
The heritage listed Shady Grove Unitarian Church has a fascinating history which all began when John Monks and his sister Alice Duffield, and her husband Francis, arrived in SA in 1839. Francis Duffield’s brother had established the Unitarian church in Manchester England and John Monks and Francis Duffield were staunch Unitarians. Monks purchased 80 acres of land near Littlehampton in 1845 and he called his property Shady Grove. In 1854 he built a fine two storey Georgian house on the land as by then he had married and had a small family. His brother in law bought 74 acres adjoining in 1849 and he called his property Cobden Grange. Both properties were within easy walking distance to Littlehampton, Hahndorf, Nairne and Balhannah. When the first private school, the Fenwick School, closed in Balhannah in 1856 John Monks decided to build a school on his land for the children of the two families. He became the teacher until he employed a tutor. Stone quarried on the site was used for the school room which was completed with Gothic windows in 1856. From the start Francis Duffield conducted Unitarian church services for the two families. A year later in 1866 John Crompton and his family from Littlehampton joined the congregation. When a son of John Monks died in 1862 he created a cemetery next to the school/chapel. A Duffield baby girl was buried there next in 1863. The first adult to be buried in the cemetery was Alice Duffield in 1880.
Meantime John Monks offered the church, cemetery and four acres to the Unitarian Church in Wakefield Street Adelaide in 1865. It was accepted at that time but it took a further 13 years before the trust deed was signed by the city church which still owns Shady Grove. The congregation at Shady Grove consisted of the Monk, Duffield and Crompton families and children until 1875 when the Smith family of Mt Barker joined the congregation. Services were then conducted alternately at Shady Grove or Milton House, the home of the Smiths in Mt Barker. As the children born in the colony grew up they married into the Smith and Crompton families. In 1881 Francis Duffield the minister retired and moved to live with his daughter at Clare before dying in 1888. The other founder John Monks died in 1889. Two of the sons of the Smith family from Mt Barker then conducted the services eventually with the help of lay preachers from the city. By 1955 the Shady Grove church was being used for just three services a year which is still the case. It was also in that year a hostel for Unitarians who wanted to camp up at Shady Grove was erected.
The Adelaide Unitarian minister often conducted some services at Shady Grove too in the 19th century. Then in 1875 he exchanged preaching with the Unitarian minister of Melbourne who came to Adelaide for a month. Miss Martha Turner was the first ordained female minister in Australia. Her sermons were attended by Catherine Helen Spence the champion of women’s rights and the person who fought hard to the votes for women in SA. Catherine Helen Spence was a devout Unitarian and used to preach herself in the Wakefield Street church. How amazing that it should ever have been bulldozed! Spence became the President of the Women’s Suffrage League in 1891. After helping to win the suffrage for SA women in 1894 she then fought for suffrage for women in NSW and Victoria. Catherine Helen Spence in 1854 was also the first female in Australia to publish a novel about life in Australia. It was published anonymously and she did not publish using her name until 1865. She died in 1910.
Apart from the members of the Duffield, Monk, Crompton and Smith families the sculptor and artist John Dowie is also buried in Shady Grove cemetery. His most famous and certainly largest work is the Three Rivers fountain in Victoria Square. He died in 2008. In spring this peaceful cemetery is coloured by native orchids, wattles and other Australian wildflowers.
Shady Grove, my little love,
Shady grove I say.
Shady Grove, my little love,
I'm a-bound to go away.
Cheeks as red as a blooming rose,
And eyes of the prettiest brown;
She's the darling of my heart,
The prettiest little girl in town.
I wish I had a glass of wine
And bread and meat for two;
I'd set it all on a golden plate
And give it all to you.
I wish I had me a big fine horse
And the corn to feed him on,
Little Shady Grove to stay at home
And feed him while I'm gone.
When I went to see my Shady Grove
She was a-standing in the door.
Her shoes and stockings in her hand
And her little bare feet on the floor.
~Traditional Folk Song
Shady Grove was founded in the 1870's by some of the first settlers in this area.
This place is way out in the country. We heard something that sounded like a monkey, but I'm guessing it was some kind of strange bird call.

Many of you know the story, but some may not. Two years ago Sadie was kicked by a moose; she suffered a punctured lung, several bruised organs and four broken ribs. The vet gently and tactfully suggested I let her go. I didn't really think she was ready. I was present during the entire surgery and helped where I could. I was overcome with emotion when I saw her little heart beating inside her chest. She recovered rather quickly and a couple of the vets began calling her "miracle dog." She's our Sadie-Girl, and it's somewhat ironic that she is the last survivor from that litter of pups, as we lost TwoSpot and then Wrinkle earlier this year. Sadie is very happy, very strong, quite healthy at 15+ years of age.
I've been trying to get a photo of her for the past week. Today the light was harsh and she was getting bored with me telling her to stay here or there. Finally she led me up the hill, following our powerline trail and it dawned on me that we were returning to the place where I found her back then, bloody and broken, to where her screams had led me. So this pic was made in that spot.
She's about the sweetest thing I can imagine.
actually if you're sharp-eyed you've met her before during SXSW 2011 and last year opening the Christmas season, but here is the singer-songwriter from Wimberley, Texas performing on the stage at Shady Grove restaurant in Austin on July 14, 2011.
Her music can be found on facebook, myspace and the usual social media outlets like YouTube as well...please check her out! ;)
