Thanks so much Leovi. I love to take my camera with me when I'm on a walk and see if can spot something for Blue Monday. Thank you for your visit and have a wonderful day.

That certainly an interesting house.  I am not sure if I would like a two-toned one in these colors.

A SPLASH OF RED


 


A splash of red or a dash of blue—


Which is the color that’s just for you?


 


A hint of blue or a tint of red—


Which of these colors goes to your head?


 


Of all the colors under the sun,


Red is simply my favorite one!

They really want their house to "stand out".  I do Mellow Yellow Monday but I'll have to try Blue Monday sometime.  I love your header picture.  Mickie :)

Under a Cloudy Sky

After some glorious sunny days, it started to rain again as is the norm in our Winter on the West Coast of Canada.  It rained quite heavily on Monday.  These photos were snapped earlier this week during a break from the rain. It was nice to see the bird's nest among the bare tree branches and the bird flying against a patch of blue sky. Joining in with Skywatch Friday and Saturday's Critters this week. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Ni Wewe Bwana (It is You Lord)

This is a lovely gospel song sung in Swahili and has special meaning for me. It is special because on my first trip to Kenya a group of orphans encircled me and sang this lovely song.

I tried to track the song down for a long time.  Every time I would ask a Kenyan friend, no one would know which song I was trying to recollect. I only knew the words "Ni wewe bwana" and decided to search on YouTube when I couldn't get any of my friends to help me find the song.  Guess what,  I found it! (Update: It has already been some years since I found it and had a Tanzanian friend translate it for  me.) The version I'm sharing is the same song but this one on the video is sung to a slightly faster beat.  It is sung by well known (now deceased) Tanzanian Gospel singer, Fanuel Sedekia. This song gives me joy and lifts me u
