In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “ROY G. BIV.”
We have been asked to show the colors of the rainbow and it reminded me of this song we used to sing in elementary school.
RED
AND YELLOW
AND GREEN
PURPLE
AND ORANGE
AND BLUE
I CAN SING A RAINBOW
SING A RAINBOW
SING A RAINBOW TOO!
This picture may be black & white but the day stands out vivid in my memory. My daughter and I were stunned by the drive up into Moll’s gap and we stopped at one of the lakes to get these shots with the Mountains of Killarney as our backdrop.

PINKIn response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Vivid.”
Click on the word “Vivid” above to see other brilliant posts.
Here is my take on vivid:
Vivid-
of a picture, memory, etc. : seeming like real life because it is very clear, bright, or detailed
: very bright in color
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Enveloped.”
The Daily Post has asked us…What does enveloped mean to you?
I suppose to be enveloped means to be covered over….
Like my daughter was covered over by my dog, Mercedes in this photo. It reminds me of a song we used to sing a long time ago in church, ‘I am covered over with the robe of righteousness my Jesus gives to me….” I don’t know how righteous Mercedes is but she is a good dog and she is white.
I suppose to be enveloped could mean to be contained within something….
Like my daughter is contained in the arms of these two school chums.
OR
Like the light of the sun is contained within the branches of this bush. If that is so then maybe to be enveloped is more perception than condition.
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Forces of Nature.”
The Daily post has asked us to show the forces of nature from our little corner of the globe. Having just come through one of the worst winters ever in my life time here is my force of nature
Rough winter 1
Rough winter 2
The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found? ~J.B. Priestley
Frozen Ground
I am so glad Spring is finally here!
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Intricate.”
Intricacy is a complicated topic…
Peacock Design at Delft Factory
Maybe what we are talking about is the intricacy of human craftsmanship. Our human penchant for detail.
Inside Guiness Brewery
Or maybe it’s the crazy support systems we use to keep our world together.
No one can deny the intricacies of a Bach played on a piano-forte.
But in the end nothing rivals the intricacies of life made and given by God.
The petals of a rose.
The mountain winds blowing through a forest of trees.
Or the sunlight settling on the smile of a child.
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Early Bird.”
Here are my attempts to explore the morning light.
The winter sun rises in New England.
Spring sun rises over Whitney’s Pond.
Morning sun at Blarney.
Sun rise in Cork.
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Afloat.”
Here is our photo challenge.
This week, show us what afloat means to you.
Clouds float in the sky.
Boats float in the water.
And little ducks float too!
Hope floats from the heart of prayer.
The church floats in eternity.
Not buildings me and you!
Sue has asked us to depict things that float for her weekly word challenge.

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Fresh.”
The challenge is to find something FRESH today. I thought about bringing out pictures of this year’s fresh fallen snow; But honestly snow is not making me feel very fresh these days, just tired; So I decided to go with a fresh spring motif
Keukenhof Gardens, Lisse , The Netherlands
Fresh GreenOh! I am longing for these days!
I am posting ahead this week in an effort to avoid gaps in the posting but knowing that the weekend is going to consume me once I am into it. So while this may be coming out on Tuesday I am writing it on Friday. I hope all of you have adjusted to the time change with Daylight Savings upon us.
