As much as I like coloured blossoms in spring, there's something special about masses of white flowers on draping branches, and you've caught that here as well as the framing of the windmill.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-61701196232926181942018-05-26T02:10:50.808+01:002018-05-26T02:10:50.808+01:00Very few people know the pleasure of a good countr...Very few people know the pleasure of a good country walk because they don't make the effort and probably very few of them would appreciate the walk and scenery.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-85880714164410293842018-05-25T22:51:00.731+01:002018-05-25T22:51:00.731+01:00Satan's owner must be a ruthless tyrant - some...Satan's owner must be a ruthless tyrant - something like Attila the Hun with a raging hangover.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-25500408075106163592018-05-25T22:41:17.856+01:002018-05-25T22:41:17.856+01:00No, but we did discuss the ignorance of lots of do...No, but we did discuss the ignorance of lots of dog owners. There are people who should not have dogs because they have no idea how to teach, train them, care for them properly. Part of our discussion was about a dog's behaviour, good or bad - that it's behaviour is a reflection of their owners.<br />Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-46595065477183955602018-05-25T18:54:18.836+01:002018-05-25T18:54:18.836+01:00Yes, the darker turn would have been to the local ...Yes, the darker turn would have been to the local hospital or the mortuary Bonnie!Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-80674050913557500812018-05-25T18:53:13.555+01:002018-05-25T18:53:13.555+01:00I would have to get past Satan first!I would have to get past Satan first!Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-8411815367089772572018-05-25T18:51:06.546+01:002018-05-25T18:51:06.546+01:00That is indeed a beautiful photograph!

Vinteuil’s cheeks beneath their freckles. Despite the heavy, motionless silence of the hawthorns, these gusts of fragrance came to me like the murmuring of an intense vitality, with which the whole altar was quivering like a roadside hedge explored by living antennae, of which I was reminded by seeing some stamens, almost red in colour, which seemed to have kept the springtime virulence, the irritant power of stinging insects now transmuted into flowers."Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
