http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI7QV4FPf3I&feature=related The cat went here and there and the moon spun round like a top, and the nearest kin of the moon, the creeping cat, looked up. Black Minnaloushe stared at the moon, for, wander and wail as he would, the pure cold light in the sky troubled his animal blood. Minnaloushe runs in the grass lifting his delicate feet. Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance? When two close kindred meet, what better than call a dance? Maybe the moon may learn, tired of that courtly fashion, a new dance turn. Minnaloushe creeps through the grass from moonlit place to place, the sacred moon overhead has taken a new phase. Does Minnaloushe know that his pupils will pass from change to change, and that from round to crescent, from crescent to round they range? Minnaloushe creeps through the grass alone, important and wise, and lifts to the changing moon his changing eyes. William Butler Yeats

Klaus Schulze - My Ty She www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0nZbt1Txsk&index=5&list=FL7fXIU0May6ypfGxg-mu7Lg&t=74s Rencontre avec l'eau, Plaisir de la croissance, Élévation. Tige vivante, Souple et caressante, Tendue, dressée, Portant ses fruits, Sa fleur En bouton secret. Sortilège de la lumière Conjuguée au vent Et à l'amour! Mystère éclos... La fraîche merveille D'un rouge délicat. Robes de soie et de velours Aux teintes les plus pures, Parfums étranges et lourds.

PicinPic's Die Heimat der Kapstachelbeere liegt in Südamerika; ihr Verbreitungsgebiet erstreckt sich über Venezuela, Bolivien, Kolumbien, Ecuador und Peru. Außerhalb dieser Gebiete wird sie oft kultiviert und ist oftmals verwildert anzutreffen. Die Kapstachelbeere wird vor allem in Afrika, Südamerika, Indien sowie auf der indonesischen Insel Java angebaut und in die ganze Welt exportiert. Weitere Anbauländer sind Australien, Kenia, Neuseeland, die Vereinigten Staaten und Südfrankreich. Die Haupterntezeit ist Dezember bis Juli. In Deutschland wird sie meist unter dem Gattungsnamen Physalis gehandelt. Die Früchte reifen nach der Ernte nicht nach, sie zählen zu den nichtklimakterischen Früchten. Die Früchte der Kapstachelbeere enthalten Vitamin C, B1, Provitamin A, und Eisen. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapstachelbeere

A late entry due to the Bank Holiday for this week's Sunday Challenge for which the theme was inversion . This is a shot I took of some golden Japanese forest grass we have growing in our back garden. I then created an inverted layer from it, which I set to Hue (Legacy) before merging the two together. Next I copied this new layer and set the top copy to Multiply with the opacity on the lower one set to 40%. Once again I merged the two before oil painting this new final version to smooth it out and give it a more artistic feel. Normally I'd have added a copy of the original image into the Notes, but I can't currently do this as my Club membership has expired. However, for those that don't know the plant it's an elegant deciduous grass with arching stems, bearing narrow variegated leaves that have creamy-white, green and yellow stripes. I also wanted to add this to Sight and Sound , but was struggling to come up with anything until I came across a bluegrass barn dance cover of a song called "Blurred Lines" performed by Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox. It seems the original song and video by Robin Thicke proved to be quite controversial depending on how you interpreted his lyrics, but hopefully this bluegrass cover version will prove less so: youtu.be/Nz-OMn1o22Y youtu.be/aJnUP8uguh8 Incidentally, if you've not come across Postmodern Jukebox before it's well worth checking them out on YouTube or by following the link below to their website. They claim to provide "gramophone music in a smartphone world" by reworking popular modern music into different vintage genres, especially early 20th century forms such as swing and jazz: postmodernjukebox.com

Contrary to what people often say and what this lamb obviously believes the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. For HFF - Happy Fence Friday . Wishing everyone a good weekend and hoping that next week brings further news of the IMA takeover of ipernity. Oh, and in case you're wondering this shot was taken at the same time as I took the one of The Three Lambs as used for last week's Sunday Challenge .
