Sunday Afternoon Drive

(Les Calanche di Piana and Scandola, Corsica)

There's nothing quite like a Sunday afternoon drive.  Get out there and enjoy creation. 

 

Home sweet home.

Island Road

Wait till you see what's around the bend...

Birds in Flight

                      The Windhover by Gerard Manley Hopkins

                      To Christ our Lord

I CAUGHT this morning morning’s minion, king-
dom of daylight’s dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding
Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing
In his ecstasy! then off, off forth on swing,
As a skate’s heel sweeps smooth on a bow-bend: the hurl and gliding
Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding
Stirred for a bird,—the achieve of; the mastery of the thing!
Brute beauty and valour and act, oh, air, pride, plume, here
Buckle! AND the fire that breaks from thee then, a billion
Times told lovelier, more dangerous, O my chevalier!
No wonder of it: shéer plód makes plough down sillion
Shine, and blue-bleak embers, ah my dear,
Fall, gall themselves, and gash gold-vermillion.

Lunchtime Dance Party

Sometimes you just gotta dance.  What started off as a rainy day lunch turned into an all-out dance party thanks to the inspirational and truly pioneering moves of Silas.  Enjoy. 

  Then a song came on that instructed to take off one's shoe.
