Doesn't this make you want to belt out some Eleanor Farjeon lyrics or crank up some Yusif Islam on your iWhatever?

  1. Actually, no. It just makes me want to sit in silence and breathe it all in.

  2. Exquisite photo. I agree with H, it makes me sigh deeply and smile sweetly. By the way, have I told you how very much I love your header photo? ~karen

  3. This is absolutely beautiful, Cheryl. So serene. Thank goodness you were there to capture this image for us, because I hate getting up before twilight, and haven't seen a sunrise in...well, since shortly after meeting one of Vlad the Impaler's comsorts at a dance at his house of Draculati in 1436.

  6. Oh my, that could be us going out fishing...we are usually on the water just before the sun comes up. This is a beautiful photo. I am loving all the musical references today...all my favorites ;)

  12. That's the sunrise Cat Stevens must have seen when he wrote this song. Beautiful. And just think. In a month that'll be covered in snow.

  19. Yusif/Cat only sang it. I was surprised to learn that this hymn was written back in the 30s by Eleanor Farjeon at the request of a local vicar.


    I can't believe you used the "S" word. GAH! Keep it up there or send it to Meleah. She likes that crap too.

  20. Thanks Ziva. I'm confused. How can this look like home when there's not a drop of rain in sight. ;-)

  21. That's pretty much what I did. When it's not overcast, foggy, or raining, the early morning and early evening light has been beautiful. The clouds have been an added bonus by helping make every clear sunrise and sunset breathtaking.

  22. I didn't know that. I checked Wikipedia and sure enough, you're right. Of course you are. Rick Wakeman played piano on the song.


    And who said I liked snow? I was just stating the obvious.

  23. For most of my 20s I was a researcher for a couple of different companies. As much fun as it is to dig into things, I rarely remember what I learned when the next idea comes around.

    I didn't think you liked snow any more than I do. I was really surprised to see you using that confounded word so early.

  24. Well, I never knew that Eleanor Farjeon was the original author so who ever said that you couldn't learn something from this 30 Days of Photographs insanity?

  25. Cheryl, this is a stunning shot! And I had all but forgotten that Cat Stevens got all spiritual and changed his name.

  26. Our kids are supposed to be having an inter-house rounders tournament today, to top off a term of work. Looking at the damp, grey conditions outside, I'm dubious as to whether it's going to happen :(
