I took this picture in Greenwich Park with my iPhone, and is now one of my favourites.

POTD: An Autmn Scene

Autumn Birds

The wild duck startles like a sudden thought,

And heron slow as if it might be caught.

The flopping crows on weary wings go by

And grey beard jackdaws noising as they fly.

The crowds of starnels whizz and hurry by,

And darken like a clod the evening sky.

The larks like thunder rise and suthy round,

Then drop and nestle in the stubble ground.

The wild swan hurries hight and noises loud

With white neck peering to the evening clowd.

The weary rooks to distant woods are gone.

With lengths of tail the magpie winnows on

To neighbouring tree, and leaves the distant crow

While small birds nestle in the edge below.

-- John Clare

I took this picture with my iPhone last week while sitting in Greenwich Park.

POTD: A Rose in a Flower

A Little Budding Rose

It was a little budding rose,

Round like a fairy globe,

And shyly did its leaves unclose

Hid in their mossy robe,

But sweet was the slight and spicy smell

It breathed from its heart invisible.

The rose is blasted, withered, blighted,

Its root has felt a worm,

And like a heart beloved and slighted,

Failed, faded, shrunk its form.

Bud of beauty, bonnie flower,

I stole thee from thy natal bower.

I was the worm that withered thee,

Thy tears of dew all fell for me;

Leaf and stalk and rose are gone,

Exile earth they died upon.

Yes, that last breath of balmy scent

With alien breezes sadly blent!

-- Emily Bronte

POTD: Errata on yesterday's post - Osborne House (Selective Coloring)

Errata:

I had incorrectly uploaded same picture twice yesterday. Also, the picture titles and the actual pictures were mismatched. Nevertheless, below is the correct version of the “Selective Coloring” picture.

 

POTD: Beyond London (Osborne House)

Osborne House is a former royal residence in East Cowes, Isle of Wight, UK. The house was built between 1845 and 1851 for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as a summer home and rural retreat. Prince Albert designed the house himself in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo. The builder was Thomas Cubitt, the London architect and builder whose company built the main façade of Buckingham Palace for the royal couple in 1847.

I know I have been promising “Beyond London” photographs for a long time, so here it is now. I took this picture on a trip to Isle of Wight a couple of years back.
