Smile on Saturday

Nous avons été vraiment surpris d’observer ce type pigeon ( inconnu ) dans le bois sur un des sentiers de Nakkertok . Après avoir fait des recherches nous avons trouvé que c est un pigeon nommé Culbutant de Cologne blanc à calotte noir qui est une race de pigeon domestique. Il portait une bague avec un préfixe FS ( Fanciers society )

We were really surprised to observe this type of pigeon ( unknown at the time ) in the wood trails of Nakkertok. After a research we find out that it is a pigeon named Black German Helmet or Cologne Tumbler and is a breed of domestic pigeon. He wore a ring with a prefix.FS ( fanciers society )

This is a Turk's Cap Lily that I spotted in a local park last summer. I discovered that the blooms are quite short-lived because when I went back a few days later, the flowers were totally spent.

Thank you so much for stopping by and fore leaving me a comment! Have a wonderful day and week!

I bought this as I got flowers for a friend and it looked wonderful for almost 2 weeks! I was amazed!

Happy Friday everyone!

This is one of the most extravagant tulips that I've come across. I'm looking forward to spring to see if they come up again.

Smile on Saturday theme: Fancy Fabrics

The Smile on Saturday group’s theme for tomorrow is “fancy fabrics” and there are two choices/possibilities. This shirt happened to be on the top of the laundry basket of clean clothes.

Ive just deciderd to put up this photograph again as its one of my most favourite ones and I love the place. Ive a lot of personal stuff to sort out at the moment so hopefully this will give me breathing space. Best wishes and thanks to all you great people out there!

" I love the ground whereon she stands "

Here is "Celtic Woman`s" haunting version:

Do give it a listen/look;

SONG;

www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBIDgUQiu-8

"Black is the colour, of my true loves hair,

Her lips are soft like roses fair,

She has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands,

I love the ground, whereon she stands"

" I love my love, and well she knows,

I love the ground, where on she goes.

I write her a letter, Just a few short lines,

And my heart it dies, a thousand times"

[ Unknown, traditional, Glasgow, Scotland, 18th century. ]

The evening light slowly fades out to the west

over Lugala and beyond and as far as the eye can see, in the Wicklow Mountains National Park, Ireland.

This lovely mountain is also called "Fancy Mountain".A pretty name for a pretty place.

Im going to ask my friend to write a slip jig on the fiddle for me and call it " The Fancies of Lugalaw " and then every time I go up here, not only will I have the view and the silence but Ill also have the music going around in my head as well. Now isnt that a proper kind of "madness"! Lol! P@t.

My pics are also available in slide form on Flickriver below, if you prefer;

A few people have said that they found the song very sad, particularly the extra verse I put in above.

We may be completely wrong as often in songs and poems of this period from Ireland and Scotland, the woman is actually ones homeland.Many womens names were used in the place of the country and the broken heart and unrequited love has to do with the country been in "strangers hands" and un free and would particularly apply to Scotland and Ireland.

It seems to be in vogue now to be patriotic and whereas a certain amount of it is to be admired, we must be careful, as too much of it has plunged the World into too many wars. We dont want a border here in this country. We had one for a hundred years and lots died because of it. Mostly innocent as always.I do think that they wont allow one and Im hopeful.

Ive just updated this photo as lots of people may not have seen it. I actually think its my best ever and please do listen to the song and watch the video as its amazing!!! P@t.

Spotted in Durham recently, Bojo, out clothes shopping. Perhaps he’s looking for a new cabinet too. 😂

Happy Monday everyone.
