What are those dots???

(Taken in northern Italy at the Cingino Dam)
























































They are ALPINE IBEX (ancient biblical name AZELIM/AZELAH)


Note - two different forms of shofar (horn) were used in the Temple in Jerusalem: one made of Ibex horn and sounded at New Year's and during Yovel Days (Jubilee/50 years); and one made of ram's horn, and sounded on fast days.

Here is a pic of an Ibex Shofar I found online and then under that the one I got for $5.00 at a Sally Ann antique auction.

ITS SO QUIET ON TDOTBLOGGER!

....because Playlist will no longer allow us Cdns. to have legit rights to the songs. The special songs I made for CLR are gone now but there are other lists out there - like Mixpod, Hypster or Grooveshark - Yet, for now I am enjoying the silence.

The Royal Wedding

We got up at 6 a.m. to watch the wedding which I really enjoyed. I always have liked the song Jerusalem (which was played at the wedding) albeit my fav version was Emerson, Lake and Palmer whom CLR and I saw sing in the early 70's. (Are we over yet, the fact that someone patted us on our heads like we were dogs? - LOL!) My neice asked us to make up a name for the wedding using first a name of a grandparent, then the name of your first pet and lastly the name of the street that you were born on - My name is Lady Amy Shaughnessy of Glenlake. Hubby's is Lord Louis Tuffy of Evelyn and AT's is Lord Lorne Bubbah of Stephens. Great fun. Comment me on your name.
Time for a cuppa! Ta! Ta! for now!

Easter Blooms

Happy Birthday S.

You have got to see this!!!

Amazing camouflage! albeit Photoshopped! I liked it anyway!

Feelin Groovy

Milk (etc) trick. Reminds me of the place at the EX where you would make psychedelic art.

AURORAS




On April 2nd and 3rd, Northern Lights spilled across the Canadian border into the United States. To the naked eye, the auroras were mostly pale-white, but exposures of 10 or more seconds with off-the-shelf digital cameras revealed spectacular color. - Pembine, Wisconsin
