Saturday Photo Hunt - The Theme is "Beautiful"

This week's theme was difficult because, what is "beautiful"?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think nature has an overwhelming
power to surprise us with forms and colors that are truly magnificent.
There is always something new and different every day.
Here is my contribution to "beautiful". Deep red and round apples!
Happy Weekend
L
ps - When you think about it....all the forms and shapes and colors we
try to create have already been created - in nature!!

Saturday Photo Hunt - The Theme is "Clouds"

A Winter Day in Copenhagen.

This theme reminds me of that wonderful Joni Mitchell song - Both Sides Now.
Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons ev'rywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on ev'ryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Saturday Photo Hunt - The Theme is "Water"

I live on an island so you don't have to go far to see water. I can even see water from my bedroom window. This picture is one of the many bridges connecting island to island.
We have a little boat and we love to take pictures while out on the water. You could say this is a picture of water under the bridge!
Happy Weekend

Saturday Photo Hunt - The Theme is "Emotions"

I know I'm probably just projecting my own emotions on my poor kitty-Guy - but I swear he has more facial expressions and emotions than I do!! This is his: "Get Out Of My Face - I von't to be alooone" expression - can you see it too? When he is happy, he actually smiles!!
Happy Saturday from us to all of you!!

Saturday Photo Hunt - The Theme is "Self"

This week's theme is "self" and to be honest, I'd rather be behind my camera than in front of it. But here I was caught off guard by my hubby in Paris. As you can see, I do have my trusty Nikon with me!
Happy Hunting folks!

The many uses of language

Do you know anyone who can talk you into a daze?
People who can say things you take literally?
People you're never really sure of what they're saying or what they mean?
If you're nodding your head, then you have been the victim of sarcasm.
I have never mastered the art of irony or sarcasm. I don't often laugh
when others do and I hardly ever see the humor or get the gist! I DO get satire; especially British satire. But sarcasm often seems to be a way putting others down. Easy points, if you know what I mean.
But, ok, it could just be me! Color me dumb!
Below, I've added a little joke my sister sent me.
Now THAT I do understand!! :)

That was just another of my thoughts blowing in the wind.
Happy Wednesday!!

Saturday Photo Hunt - The Theme is "Funny Signs"

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen - there IS a town in Denmark called Middelfart. I laughed so hard the first time I saw the town sign, that I almost got lost and made a wrong turn. Middelfart is the last town before the bridge to Jutland! Look it up! Not far from there is a town called ASSens! The anecdote the Danes love to tell, is about the time the British queen came to visit Copenhagen. One of the tour planners noticed that there was a little sign that lit up in all the elevators in the hotel. The sign read: "I fart." Which, in Danish means, "in motion." To solve the problem, they covered all the signs in all the elevators of this hotel until the Royal visit had ended! Can you imagine everyone getting in these elevators and thinking, Wow, this elevator has gas!?
Happy Weekend

Just to let you know

My Birthday Present

As many of you know - I'm a music person. I love instruments and as a music teacher I have to play a bit on all of them!!(recorder, flute, bass, drums, keyboards, guitar and xylophone!!!)
But first and foremost I teach singing, choir and play the piano.
Wonderful! She earns a living at what she loves best - You all must be saying to your computer screens - but not so. Having to play piano from 3-5 hours a day can get tiring! When I get home I can hardly drag my sorry behind to the piano to practice, or to my guitar or hubby's bass for that matter!! I needed a change and a change is what I'm getting!! I've always wanted to play the harp. I love Celtic music - probably because I never get the chance to play it - so hubby has bought me a harp from a shop in London!! We ordered it as a kit so hubby can assemble it for me- which makes it even more wonderful!!!Being a piano player I'm sure I'll be able to play the harp - so I'm so thrilled!
Here is a picture of the 22 stringed harp - I'm getting the 33 stringed version!

Saturday Photo Hunt - The Theme is "Twisted"

I searched high and low for something twisted, (besides my mind!) for this week's twisted photo. I have no photos of twisted car wrecks or anything exciting at all.
But I did find my hand mixer. It is probably the most twisted thing I have. But it sure comes in handy!
Happy Saturday

Blog Friends Forever!

I'm not the most active blogger on the net. I never even had a diary when I was a teenager - but luckily for me, I met some wonderful people on the internet, way back when and we've stuck together for many years now, through thick and thin!
My dear friend, Hootin' Anni named me as one of her dearest online friends and I am so touched by this because the internet is a really big place, filled with many, many people. So thank you so much for this gift. And by the way, Hootin' Anni is a very active blogger - so drop by her place for some good reading!
