Before the virus: a tourist couple gazing across the East River towards the spires of Manhattan.

Taken on the return trip of honoring Wilson's life. I'll pick up his ashes next week. As always, I wish there had been more time with my pet. I am enveloped in a familiar longing.

 

Like a clown, the sky was inflating cloud balloons and trying its best to distract me from my pensive mood with a show. "Look at this trick--wheee!" it said as it flashed different rays across the ethereal canvas. "Have you seen this one yet?"

 

"Hey, I'm posing for you!!" Lovely, really lovely, thank you. Click. Aren't you late for a birthday party or something? And so it left me to my inventory of memories.

For the old normal life

Now and then, a person gets an itch to just get up and go...somewhere...anywhere...to escape their life and start fresh anywhere else.

Imagine you are a pupil in the Medersa Attarine learning the Koran. You just want to go out into the souk, grab some sweets, hang out with your friends. Alas, so close but yet so far. More learning to do.

Thank you for your visits, favs and nice comments. 🙏

New Year's wishes: when will COVID ever end?

My neighbour's cat came to visit and I decided to photograph him but he wouldn't look at me. Just kept looking outside.

Okay, next time the door opens we make a break for it, agreed?

 

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.

A different version of a shot that I captured last February. It was an unusually balmy evening given that it was full tide on the Loughor Estuary but it's a no - go area at present for me. I also have friends living nearby with homes overlooking here and who are allowed to walk their dogs here . Yes I'm longing to get back here but at least I'm safe at home. Keep safe and stay home everyone - the sun and moon will always be there ....

Happy Thursday everyone. Have a great day!!

Common snowdrop

 

Galanthus nivalis, the snowdrop or common snowdrop, is the best-known and most widespread of the 20 species in its genus, Galanthus. Snowdrops are among the first bulbs to bloom in spring and can form impressive carpets of white in areas where they are native or have been naturalised.

 

The generic name Galanthus, from the Greek gala (milk) and anthos (flower), was given to the genus by Carl Linnaeus in 1735. He described Galanthus nivalis in his Species Plantarum published in 1753. The epithet "nivalis" means "of the snow", referring either to the snow-like flower or the plant's early flowering.

 

Galanthus nivalis is widely grown in gardens, particularly in northern Europe, and is widely naturalised in woodlands in the regions where it is grown. It is, however, native to a large area of Europe, from Spain in the west, eastwards to Ukraine. It is native to Albania, Armenia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and Ukraine. It is considered naturalised in Great Britain, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and parts of North America (Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Ontario, Massachusetts, Alabama, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Washington State, New York State, Michigan, Utah, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina)

 

Although often thought of as a British native wild flower, or to have been brought to the British Isles by the Romans, it is now thought that it was probably introduced much later, perhaps around the early sixteenth century.

deep inside my black cold heart there's a longing for your love.

 

LOST ON YOU - LP

 

When you get older, plainer, saner

Will you remember all the danger

We came from?

Burning like embers, falling, tender

Longing for the days of no surrender

Years ago

And will you know

 

Let's raise a glass

Or two

To all the things I've lost on you

Ho, ooh

Tell me are they lost on you?

Was playing around with an old photo tonight. Added text to the photo. When I see old boats rotting away, it gives a meloncholy feeling. I wonder the history and stories the old wooden vessel could tell.
