This post is anything but da blues for me today. It's connected with such a fond memory. But as SC often states about my photos and stories... 'Birdman, how the heck did you ever end up there from that picture, I want to know'. Last week, when I took this shot that spans the color spectrum, I thought for sure I had captured the sign hanging in front of the Irish pub Bull Feeney's, but later was disappointed to find it missing. That was a 'downer'. Now the 'upper'! Three years ago this coming December, Elenka and I had a fabulous 2 1/2 hours getting to know our new friends Kitty and Mr. BC. In life it's not the destination that's all important, but the journey and those you are lucky enough to meet along the way. Her photoblog is the first place I stop each day for my 'daily devotion' of verse.Da blues? No, da friends!
Fabulous is the correct word for that meeting!
ReplyDeleteawww. i'm purring with pleasure. has it really been 2 1/2 years? bless this blogosphere for bringing us together. when shall we gather to toast friendship again?
ReplyDeleteI don't think that you are the only one who stops there early in the am for both entertainment and inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree about the journey - in a sense, the destination is the same for all of us. I've had a pretty good voyage so far. But in photography, the destination is more important.
ReplyDeleteriotous color, birdMan!

The colors really make for a happy photo.
ReplyDeleteWise words to go with all the color on Friday morning.
ReplyDeleteI am certain if you look for it, the silver lining in there in so many instances of life. Good memories are there, no matter what.
ReplyDeleteWhat you said is so true and thank you for reminding me of it today!
ReplyDeleteStarting right off with your title and then colorful photo, this was a delightful sequence of non sequiturs, Birdman! But I totally agree with your conclusion, it's da friends! :-)
ReplyDeletePS. Another good literary quote today: I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till I drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion. ~ Jack Kerouac. You've read On the Road of course...
