~Lost city…

Lost for 1,600 years, the royal quarters
of Cleopatra were discovered off the
shores of Alexandria.
A team of marine archaeologists,
led by Frenchman, Franck Goddio,
began excavating the ancient city in 1998.
Historians believe the site was submerged
by earthquakes and tidal waves, yet, astonishingly,
several artifacts remained largely intact.
Amongst the discoveries were the foundations
of the palace, shipwrecks, red granite columns,
and statues of the goddess Isis and a sphinx.
The Egyptian Government plans to create an
underwater museum and hold tours of the site.

I love  Bruges in Belgium
and try to visit this romantic city
at least once a year!

and
I love Fidel,
He is the most photographed dog of Bruges.  
He is constantly looking out his window
and usually has a pillow handy in case
he needs a little nap.

Me and Little Abby(almost 6 weeks old)
wishing you
all
a Wonderful
Weekend!!!

And when it rains on your parade,
look up rather than down.
Without the rain,
there would be no rainbow.

This is Luke
He was rescued by Mission Wolf.
Every year, thousands of wolf dogs are
abandoned by their owners and end up in shelters. 

Luke is a wolf/husky cross.
Wolves never have blue eyes,
unless there is husky genes in the mix.

Merry, Merry Sparrow!
Under leaves so green
A happy Blossom
Sees you swift as arrow
Seek your cradle narrow
Near my Bosom.

Pretty, Pretty Robin!
Under leaves so green
A happy Blossom
Hears you sobbing, sobbing,
Pretty, Pretty Robin,
Near my Bosom.

by William Blake

 

A white blanket covers the yard.
Snowflakes fly swiftly threw the air.
There sits a Cardinal on the frozen bush.
Feathers puffed and bold.
Singing a winter tune.
the wet snowflakes melt on his head.
Hearing the creak of a gate,
and with one swift movement
he lifts into a gentle soar.
Off he goes into the white sky.

“To me, a witch is a woman that is capable
of letting her intuition take hold of her actions,
that communes with her environment,
that isn’t afraid of facing challenges.”

that is in their heart,
and to sing it to them
when they have forgotten.”

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

TOMORROW!!!

I only went out for a walk
and finally concluded to stay out
till sundown,
for going out, I found, was really going in.

~Unicorns

Of all the legendary animals of art,
folklore and literature, the Unicorn
is the one with the greatest hold on
our imaginations.
Other fabulous beasts are clearly inventions,
existing only in a mythical landscape
of our own collective creation.
But the Unicorn strikes us as more
than imaginary. It seems possible,
even probable…
a creature so likely that it ought to exist.
