Happy Monday everyone on this Victoria Day in Canada, and a special thank you to Suze of SLR (See Love Remember) for her great advice in her post for the Weekly Photo Challenge: Spring –

Oh, and the trick to keeping your tulip bouquet last for a long time: put them in a vase with only about an inch of water, refilling when needed. This prevents them from opening up completely, after which they usually quickly wither.

Thanks Suze; it worked brilliantly as you can see.

Buon Appetito!

Dolcemente, lentamente, con espressione, e con il colore.

 If music be the food of love enjoy this gastronomic symphony for this week’s Photo Challenge: Work of Art…

…in which Michelle reminds us that “Art” isn’t just paintings and sculptures, it can be anything in which we find beauty and meaning – even food.

Weekly Photo Challenge: On the Move above the Bay

Snowbirds over the Bay

Perfect formation
Soaring in the blue, blue sky –
Even the geese were amazed

Thames iv

Composed upon Westminster Bridge, Sept. 3, 1802

by William Wordsworth

Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty;
This City now doth, like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theaters, and temples lie
Open unto the fields, and to the sky;
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendor, valley, rock, or hill;
Ne’er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!

 

A Tulipology

So sorry it’s all over between us this year…


…but I promise I’ll be waiting for you next year. The memory of your beautiful pink and purple petals will just have to keep me going until then…
