we have no time to stand and stare.

enrich that smile her eyes began...

and watch their feet, how they can dance...

streams full of stars, like skies at night...

Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass...

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows...
Leisure by WH Davies.

Another from Princess Street Garden. I missed couples birds who were hovering over the wee girl a split second earlier.

The Highlands, from Beinn Eighe. You might note there were three people walking down there..

day 648

I wander'd lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze...
The Daffodils by W Wordsworth


Didn't really get into this verse,
untill the spring sprung in Edinburgh..

Taken up the hill off Princess Street Garden, between The Mound and the castle.

day 647

The next couples pictures are the digitalised version of some pictures I took sometime ago back in Scotland. Thanks to Mr. Wlls who had kept them safely, and sent them over back to me.

I took them once upon a time, when I was (rather) young, learning the steps of life, blinded by the beauty of life out there..

Once upon a time, when the manual (as opposed to digital) camera was the only decent option, so you had to take a shot, and I do mean it as only one shot, and prayed that you captured the moment, because one, you wouldn't spend all 37 frames for the same moment; two, it was not practical to change the negative roll every hour; and three, it was darn expensive to buy and develop them..



One of my favourites, from The Fringe 2003, Edinburgh.
I like the painter's expression and his golden mass of hair shining under the sunshine like a halo.
