Flora, Fauna and Merryweather

          The category of flora and fauna means basically flowers and leaves, but what about Merryweather ? I couldn’t possibly leave her out could I ?

          Well, for those of you who haven’t watched Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather are the names of the three good fairies who of course are on the side of the sleeping beauty, princess Aurora, and battle against the evil witch who tries to put her into a deep sleep.

          Of course true love wins the day and a dashing Prince Philip rescues her and they dance off into the happy ever after.

          As they do Flora and Merryweather argue over princess Aurora’s dress colour, Flora wants it to be pink and Merryweather wants it blue so they flick their wands and the dress changes colour from pink to blue to pink again as Aurora dances away with her prince.

          Back to reality – or the blog version of reality as it is – on the right side of the page (probably near the bottom if you’re reading the blog on your phone) there’s a drop down box headed “Who,What, When and Where”, you can use this to browse though old posts by chosen category if you feel the urge, it also helps me to add a link at the bottom of a post for previous posts on the same subject.

          I’ve been adding and sorting a few new categories so take peek and let me know what you think. (bear in mind that I’ve still only got my little point and shoot with a macro mode though so don’t look too closely).

“FLORA,  FAUNA  &  MERRYWEATHER“

Change of heart

          I had this picture of some fallen brown and yellow leaves ready to post today with the accompanying depressing title - “And so it begins …”

          Then I dropped in to see Meanderer’s post “Betwixt Seasons …” and made up my mind to find some pretty flower photos for today’s post instead.

           More from before : a dip into the archives for more “Flora, Fauna and Merryweather“.

Street photography

          Not quite the type of street photography I’d like to be having a go at, but here are a couple of photographs I took in the street this weekend.

Flower wall

          Having a weakness for pretty colours and stone walls anyway, its no surprise that I’ve always wanted a garden wall like this one I found yesterday in Launton.

Wet benches

          The rain is lashing against the window today, the wind is making the house creek and the tree outside is shaking itself like a wet dog trying to shake the water off.

          Wild horses wouldn’t drag me out with my camera today so here’s a few photos of the empty park from Friday … taken from the shelter of the bandstand.

          I shared the park with a couple of people walking their dogs but that was about it, there were plenty of benches to sit and watch the flowers, but no one chose to sit on them.
