I'd love to learn to play an instrument, but I don't have the time right now. Writing and photography seem to be all I can manage, but then, they are time-consuming! Take care, Carol!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-86647519327594015762014-12-04T11:11:26.668-08:002014-12-04T11:11:26.668-08:00The row of (tulip?) trees is beautiful.

The first dog you showed sitting next to the girl reminds me of a smaller version of a huge mastiff I met yesterday named "Sweetie"--she was 120-something pounds, but so good natured! The pop of color is lovely--so nice to see a flower blooming this time of year!Bethany Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583914285773271009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-43535565459722113182014-12-02T21:34:44.442-08:002014-12-02T21:34:44.442-08:00Lovely reflection shots and a great post.

He apparently earned the nickname Paddy, after Paderewski the famed Polish pianist, when he played for his fellow troops during WWII, and the nickname stuck. He was an awesome pianist! <br />Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-55933820290257902472014-12-02T15:23:11.712-08:002014-12-02T15:23:11.712-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-58705911673156229402014-12-02T14:18:45.441-08:002014-12-02T14:18:45.441-08:00Carol, a little thrill ran through me at the photo...Carol, a little thrill ran through me at the photo of the entrance to the Roy Barnett Recital Hall - Roy is my cousin, my mother's sister's son. Both his father and my father always played the piano at our joint family gatherings - those times were a highlight of my childhood. Roy did not learn to play piano until after he retired, and it was that passion for learning music that promoted him and his wife to donated the money necessary to renovate the old hall. Here's a link to the story: http://music.ubc.ca/research-and-resources/inspiring-spaces/barnett-hall/ . Roy and his wife live in Victoria now. <br />Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5731660835554890553.post-39640042117994319742014-12-02T12:53:02.297-08:002014-12-02T12:53:02.297-08:00I was touched by the two creative gentlemen in the...I was touched by the two creative gentlemen in the video. What an appreciation they have, not only for art, but for life! And it is very exciting to hear of your current studies. Learning is never ending and youthful teachers can bring fresh perspective to existing knowledge.
