Flower Power Inspiration
Flower Power Inspiration
Many grand houses or palaces have amazing landscaped gardens,people in towns,window boxes or indoor plants,
Many artists have painted flowers or gardens...to name but a few,Monet,VanGogh,David Hockney,Frida Kahlo,Marianne North.William Morris designed wall paper,and floral prints abound for furnishings and fabrics.
Cultivating flowers can be hours of pleasure,watching flowers and trees grow from cuttings or seeds,changing through the seasons,adding color and beauty to the environment,giving hours of pleasure.
In recent months, anyone with a garden was lucky to be in touch with nature,to enjoy fresh air,to eat outdoors,swim in a pool.I have a very small yard and garden,but many in my area don't have a garden,and the town doesnt have open spaces,to walk or trees, just a small square with shrubs: this made life difficult for some incarcerated at home with no outdoor space to enjoy.Being outdoors is essential especially in the summer.
I once had a book on a birthday about Marianne North.Marianne was born in 1830,Hastings,UK,she lived till sixty.Dressed in crinolines she traveled the world,passionately painting every type of flower.She traveled through Australia,New Zealand,India,Ceylon,the Amazon;trecked through jungles,paddled down rivers,to find rare species to paint.Her work is housed in Kew Gardens In the Marianne North Gallery.She displays over a thousand paintings.Kee has every species of flower,tree and shrub in the world,in acres of ground in Richmond,near London.
Some artists paint murals of gardens or flowers in towns.our small town has recently added huge tubs of flowers outside shops and houses to brighten our lives.
So lets post images,videos,music,artists who painted flowers,gardens to brighten our gray winter months.
Please NO religious comments or politics.
All are welcome....Respect other commenters,most of all enjoy.
Dont Get Your Tinsel in a Twist
Love tinsel
Decided to decorate this year.Somehow its important to start celebrating early.
Usually Ive been shocked that shops stock christmassy things as early as October.
This year with deserted streets and shops,and not the usual hustle and bustle of this small town,there is a real need to celebrate,we need some good cheer,and Christmas decorations.
Always jingle all the way nothing like a bad ass jingler.
Santa please,leave your credit card under my tree.
Hoping our town will display the usual lights in the high street,I wont mind the carols blaring out,I promise!
I love animals at Christmas time,so you give your pets tempting presents and a special lunch.Its a time for children and laughter.
We usually go out to a large open square for entertainment,carols and stalls to buy gifts...this year it will be deserted and no-one around.
What will you cook? What presents will you give?
Enjoy the preparations,fun memes,games,Trailer,songs that you can post here.
Remember respect other commenters,and no religious comments or political viewpoints.
Most of all enjoy,and have fun.

Adornment
To adorn or not?
Many adornments enhance or beautify.
Many adornments can be fun.
Some are ugly depending on taste or culture,and others frightening to behold,often a talking point.
Many Tattoos are skillful and beautiful,others make a statement.
‘The Illustrated Man’ was such a story by Ray Bradbury,an unusual gripping tale.
Every part of the man’s body was covered by a tattoo,so much so that no-one would employ him:People shunned him,children ran away screaming in fear.
At night anyone who looked upon the tattoos saw the tattoos move,saw their future and the future of the world.The tattoos changed depending on the beholder.Thefuture of many was doom and destruction,and the shadowy figures and images flickered across the mans body.Who dare to look upon such a future?
Why did the man have such tattoos...read on in....The Illustrated Man.
Do you have any tattoos ,piercings,unusual adornment?where are your tats,piercings?
Sometimes tattoos are for identity or define a gang member.
Remember this is not the place to make religious comments,or discuss politics.This is a family site.

Post: pix,memes,videos,music on the theme.
Welcome and Enjoy.....Lian
