I like the narrative about Maxwell House and that's a good story to think about when having a cup of instant. For some reason the frogs stick in my memory, rather than the flowers, which are beautiful but expected. Ditto the dogs, whereas the frogs and that rather ghostly (and ghastly) statue of Mother Hare are unexpected and so give us a little frisson from which we can then take comfort by looking at the magnolias and drinking a coffee.Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-16346164696414610582011-03-27T10:15:03.263-04:002011-03-27T10:15:03.263-04:00Oh, Vagabonde, this is simply gorgeous.

An isolated day here or there, yes. But nothing so warm as to bring this stunning array of blooms! I can see why as a photographer you were a bit at a loss -- it's a good thing memory cards hold a lot! And so many winners here, too! <br /><br />Loved the dogp pics, but I'm thinking my favorite was of your grandson leaning into the fountain. Such a real, genuine moment!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-63327704432213152372011-03-27T09:10:24.177-04:002011-03-27T09:10:24.177-04:00Wonderful post, wonderful blog...

I didn't know about Magnol, but I am accustomed to learning about origins from you, so I am happy to do so here. What a contribution he made. I think you must have given some thoughts to the suffering people in Japan when you were in the Japanese garden. Their lifestyle stays with them, even in the crisis, such grace.<br /><br />It looks like you were at the Joan Baez concert. I admire her a lot. We keep needing voices of peace and hope, more than ever.<br /><br />Lovely place and post, my friend.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-34278226008756672332011-03-26T02:19:53.661-04:002011-03-26T02:19:53.661-04:00What a gorgeous place.
