musicians

of all ages

take turns

filling the air

with jangle and joy

(more on june 2nd)

one weekend each year

our town fills

with a wondrous array of revelers.

i 'shutter' to think of it

but in the last 30 minutes i've lost 200 images

and found that the comment problem plaguing so many of you has now spread to brattleboro

(update: the images have been retrieved and the comment problem resolved...yeah!)

no pussy-footin' around...

wishing you all a weekend to purr about.

an enthusiastic meow of welcome to new followers:

laura monego, angela, cye gray

dearest julie, every soul touched by you is illuminated.

bright jewel of a thousand facets,

beloved friend,

happy, happy birthday

the house next door is purple

it beckons to the street with its fetching entry way

the sun, at last, returns today

rejoice, relax, get out and play

sit and rest awhile

local hospice volunteers plant and maintain this serene garden year after year

at living memorial park

the air fills with the murmur of infant leaves

opening their tiny green fists

if we gaze into these windows

could we glimpse this house's soul?

do you suppose rapunzel in her tower

rejoiced in the arrival of spring?

arf

this floppy pup will be auctioned off

for our local art school's scholarship fund.

welcome new followers:

marina vodyanova, gabriel vecino, electricwitch

you don't need a crystal ball to know

how grateful i am to all of you for your wonderful comments.

once again i must leave town.

this time i'm pre-posting,

but i won't be able to visit your blogs for a few days.

have a great weekend!

the rain has played

a weighty trick

on the azalea bushes and the crab apple trees

spring flounces her glimmer green skirts

in the misty rain

can you conjure up a better way

to while away a rainy day?

in april the ground wore rags of snow

today it is dressed in petals of dotted swiss.

to be in nice with malyss

is to be inside the dream of a poet

i must be away again, this time on family business.

thank you new followers kluayhom, don'tunplugyourhub, meghan, and perthdaily.

and thank you to all the rest for your visits and your always treasured comments.

i hope to be back in a week.

lenore and erik blegvad once climbed these steps to their home in roquebrunne.

thank you, dearest jilly, for leading me up the path to their old door

click. jilly of riviera dogs, menton daily photo, and monte carlo daily photo

made a gorgeous portrait of gerome, this charming man's french bulldog.

these photos almost capture the delight the man took in seeing his beloved pet immortalized by jilly

ah, to dance on the roofs

of menton

in the market in menton

we bought a baby wheel of fresh, creamy sheep cheese

from this gentle spirit

theme day: mail box

or was that "male"box?

(this is just the way my camera found him)
