The statue of Asklepios, the god of medicine, from The Vatican Museum in Rome. Round his staff is entwined a serpent, the symbol of medicine to this day.
The perfectly circular 13th century Incan agricultural terraces at Moray in the Sacred Valley, which we visited on our Peruvian adventure last June.

Easter Monday Bouquet: April 21
I thought I would post this Monday bouquet early for dear friends and followers across the other side of the world for whom Easter Monday is almost over.
Today’s Blogging 201 assignment is to integrate features to draw traffic to older content on our blogs. I have added a top posts and pages widget in my sidebar and a related posts feature at the end of the page with images. Hope you like these additions. Let me know what you think.
Happy Easter weekend 🙂
The Naughty Ladybugs!
I couldn’t resist this re-posting since it seems so perfect for the challenge. I used a similar image last year for the Photo Challenge: Saturated.

All right! I confess. I am a tulipolic.
Now I think this needs a little explanation. For the next two weeks I have joined the “Blogging University” at The Daily Post in a course entitled Blogging 201: Branding and Growth. Today we have been asked to audit our blogs, and one of the assignments is to add or update our taglines to give more context to our various titles. Now, since I don’t have a tagline and haven’t had one since I started blogging almost a year ago, this seemed to be the perfect time to finally put pen to paper and write one.
Nothing concentrates the mind more than to explain in one short sentence the “meaning of the life”, which leads me to today’s task.
For those of you who have been following my blog, and let me say I love you all, my use of the word Tulipolic will be very clear. If you are visiting for the first time I think the gallery of photos is all that is necessary together with a visit to my Monday Bouquet. The arts in the tagline of course refers to photography, painting, writing and anything else that inspires the creative spirit residing in all of us and which is forever changing.
So there you have it, a tagline together with an accompanying new header image and the completion of today’s assignment. Do I hear a drum role?…
The Canadian National War Memorial stands in Confederation Square, Ottawa. It is also known as The Response.
The Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill in Ottawa commemorates Canada’s 100th anniversary as a Confederation.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Monument
The Canadian National Vimy Memorial, France
The monument is dedicated to the memory of the members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force killed during the First World War. It was designed by Walter Allward and took eleven years to build. It was unveiled in 1936 and following an extensive restoration rededicated by Her Majesty the Queen on 9 April 2007 during a ceremony to commemorate the battle’s 90th anniversary.
Today marks the 97th Anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, which took place from 9 to 12 April, 1917. Those of you who follow my blog will have seen my post this week commemorating the Battle and where you will find links to previous posts of mine containing more images and a video from the Vimy Memorial site.
