Penrhyn is one of the most admired of the numerous mock castles built in the United Kingdom in the 19th century; Christopher Hussey called it, "the outstanding instance of Norman revival." The castle is a picturesque composition that stretches over 600 feet from a tall donjon containing family rooms, through the main block built around the earlier house, to the service wing and the stables.

We Love Roleplay opens today and while editing this picture of Una's amazing gowns I was reminded of the Handmaid's Tale. I am pretty much obsessed with the show and have to admit, I've even watched the series more than once. When Margaret Atwood revealed that everything in The Handmaid’s Tale has occurred in our history ......

well, thanks to the folks who read my little tale, I get inspired every whipstitch, but I try and keep 'em short.
A funny thing happened on the way to Panther Creek Falls.... my GPS took me into Oregon and I accidentally came across Multnomah here, just about wrecked Gertrude, missed the left lane exit and had to come back to get it. Hordes of people there, all of which seemed to want the guy with the camera to take their pictures with their cell phones of them with the falls. After taking many I put them to work opening me a hole and allowing me to take two uninterrupted shots. I'll put the other in comments for those who haven't seen it.
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.

In search of a sunset on Koh Samui, I ended up at Taling Ngam at the southwestern end of the island. Unlike Koh Samui’s more popular beaches on the eastern side, this beach was pristine with few visitors wandering about.
So is Flickr really back online? I admit I have my doubts. :)
Sakura matsuri
さまざまのこと思い出す桜かな
Samazama no koto omoidasu sakura ka na
(Is it a cherry blossom that reminds me of various things?)
- Bashô Matsuo
In Japan, in late March and early April, they celebrate the Sakura matsuri, or cherry blossom festival.
All eyes will be on the light pink florets as they fill the city sidewalks, public parks, and temple gardens with quivering bursts of color in the gentle breeze of early spring. Picnicking under the blossoms is an ancient tradition. Then, all too soon, the petals begin to fall, and the scene becomes a distant memory.
One explanation of Bashô’s haiku is that he is recalling that he abandoned the way of samurai and decided to live the way of haiku. Or simply that cherry blossoms encourage random thoughts.
The sibilant repetition of the “s” and “z” sounds (samazama, omoidasu, sakura). The repeated consonants of “k” (koto, sakura, kana) produce a melodic sound to Bashô’s phrase.
“Do you remember many things?” is today’s colloquial understanding of the phrase.
A more literal translation is, “Various things, they call to mind, ah, cherry blossoms !”
