The name hyacinth comes from the Greek Hyakinthos, a handsome young man who in Greek mythology was loved by the sun god Apollo. One day they were practicing throwing the discus but the jealous god of the West Wind, who was also in love with Hyakinthos, blew the discus back and it fatally wounded him. From his blood grew a flower which the god Apollo named after him.
The bulbs were first brought to Western Europe in the 16th century and were first cultivated in Austria in the 1500's. During the 17th and 18th centuries, like the tulip, it was to be found only in the collections of very rich flower collectors. Because of the hyacinth's pervasive perfume (used in perfumerie in France), the bulbs were exorbitantly expensive.
Their heady fragrance, their delicacy and their inimitable spring feeling make them very desirable.
Thanx, M, (*_*)

Visting Dordrecht I saw on the banks of the Spui delightful small Shepherd's Purse, Capsella bursa-pastoris. Here and there - as ought to be in Spring - couples of Thick-thighed Singing Hoverflies, Syritta pipiens, being fruitful, one hopes.
In contemplation of this wonder of Nature, I immediately, of course, given this town, linked to another fruitful, major event here. In the Grote Kerk - see inset - in 1618 a Church Synod of international protestantism was convened. The theological issues caused great division in The Netherlands, but that's not my topic. Far more importantly, that Synod also commissoned a standard translation of the Bible into Dutch, the so-called Statenvertaling, comparable to the King James Version in English (1611). It wasn't until 1626 that the States-General agreed to the Synod's request and though the translation (from Hebrew and Greek) was ready in 1635 it took the government until 1637 to agree to (and to underwrite) its printing. Once printed that Statenvertaling not only served to standardise the Dutch language - almost everyone at some point used it or at least understood its phrasing - but much of its language provided catch-phrases still used today (often without the speaker realising it). Thus it became highly fruitful for Dutch literature, poetry, prose and any other kind alike.
And the name of our plant, Shepherd's Purse, brings to mind as well how the language of that Statenvertaling, stimulated and expounded by the protestant Shepherds of the Word, became known as the "Tale Kanaäns", the language of faith, often recognisable even if the speakers don't know it themselves.
But our Hoverflies merely sing without words! and are fruitfully multiplying.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I've promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep...

So many things I would like to say!
First of all, a huge thank you to Nai for exhibiting my works at DBL. Without her constant support and encouragement, I would have been a lot less today.
A huge thank you as well to all who came for the opening, and I MAY be planning something for those who bought my works that day. ;) The works will be up there until the end of May, featuring fabulous work from Zolar Merlin as well, do feel free to drop by slurl.com/secondlife/Casablanca Estates Two/87/234/1927
Well, I can't believe the last time I posted something was nearly two months ago. RL work swarmed in and I couldn't go back to SL at all.
I was finally free last week, but after stopping for so long, it was really very difficult to get back. I'm woefully rusty and behind with everything SL and flickr. I had waited eagerly for the holiday and I thought I could bounce back quickly, but I was wrong; I was generally uninspired and rather confused.
Well, enough of my ranting! I saw an outfit featured by carthalis rossini www.flickr.com/photos/carthalis/4608378193/ and immediately knew that I had to check out AVid. I was amazed by the range and quality, and this outfit really caught my eye, and finally something inspired me to do something. It wasn't easy though, I'm still terribly rusty.
Well, I'm still ranting. Pardon me, I have been saving up nearly two months of rant. Glad to be back and hope to get more inspired and get used to everything again :D

It was enlightening to talk with the local(s) about the (forced) decline of Newfoundland's Cod fishery. Those discussions dovetailed with this scene of an old fishing shack.
Getting the exposure right on this handheld scene was fun as well.
Thanks for looking!

Jal Mahal (meaning “Water Palace”) is a palace located in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur city, the capital of the state of Rajasthan, India.
The Jal Mahal palace is considered an architectural beauty built in the Rajput and Mughal styles of architecture (common in Rajasthan) providing a picturesque view of the lake (from the Mansagar dam on the eastern side of the lake that acts as a vantage point for viewing the lake and the valley), and the surrounding Nahargarh (abode of the tigers) hills. The Jal Mahal Palace was built in red sandstone in 18th Century and is a five-story palace, with the first four floors being submerged under water.
The palace remained uninhabited, was not maintained and hence not visited by tourists. To remove the ecological damage caused to the lake due to indiscriminate pollution from the city sewerage, restoration measures were undertaken, since 2001, after a detailed study by the Government of Rajasthan.
