#Gardens Past: the edge of the Japanese garden on a private estate 2005. A pair of #Swans swim gracefully along the #River Avon-both shorelines lush w/💚 #trees & #plants A red bridge is on the right. In time, storms tore thru all of this, destroying much of it-💔 #GlobalWarming More pics in Reply.
A green lawn in the foreground is lined with a froth of water plants at the River Avon’s edge. This part of the river is more like a stream running thru the estate. But it was deep & welcoming enough for a pair of swans to make it their home. Here they’re seen swimming gracefully past, the river sparkles in sunlight with gentle ripples. On the other side are lush river plants and some small trees on the left. The right hand side is dominated by a beautiful Weeping Willow tree, which hangs over the water and is very near a red bridge that is part of the Japanese Garden area of this estate-which had many different, separate “gardens”. But it was by this river & in the Japanese Garden that we most liked to spend time when we visited. Unseen is much of it, which is off beyond the bridge and includes a proper Tea House which straddles a branch of the river. Sadly, a series of unusually violent storms, with powerful winds and an enormous amount of rain, came tearing through all of this and the Japanese Garden itself, ripping it apart to the extent that when we next visited, it was unrecognisable-we wept. The gardeners had pulled down trees & plants that were fatally weakened by the storm, leaving the area looking utterly bereft of its lush, peaceful atmosphere. The swans were gone, of course. The gardeners were in the process of trying to replant much of the entire area, but we knew it would be years before it would ever look “recovered.” We were so distraught by the emptiness, the savage destruction, that we stopped visiting this place & have not returned for many years. (It didn’t help that they’ve raised the price of entry a great deal, too). I’ve credited this photo to my partner but I may have taken it myself, tbh. Those beautiful swans & that lush garden were part of a place where we had often found peaceful refuge. To see it devastated was heartbreaking. We knew those rare storms were so extraordinarily strong they were signs of Global Warming.😢💔💚~tam💞

The Painter’s Honeymoon - Frederic Leighton, oil on canvas 1864 #art #painting #Romantic
A bit about this beautiful & tender work: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pai...
Leighton’s beautifully romantic scene shows a young couple, sat close together, as “The Painter” of the title is sketching on a large drawing pad with his right hand, his left hand holding that of his red-haired bride. She is wearing a voluminous dress that is almost a bronze coloured satin, the fabric pooling down to the floor as she leans in close to her new husband. Her long red hair is bound up in a soft curl that’s almost like a halo around her head. Her dashing young husband has long, wavy brown hair, parted in the centre and sports a full beard and moustache. He is dressed in a dark brown top/jacket and short, knickerbocker-style trousers, with his exposed (or light stockinged) lower legs crossed in the shadow of the drawing platform/pad upon which he’s sketching. He wears dark shoes. The faces of the newlyweds are tenderly pressed cheek to cheek: whilst he is clearly concentrating on his art, his new bride, nestling close, appears affectionately fascinated, as she watches him drawing. On the right, above and behind them, there appears to be a wooden shelf with a plant of some sort. The Wikipedia article says this was meant to be an orange tree, but its “fruits” seem metallic. Apart from a path of light which must be coming from a source we cannot see-perhaps a window or candlelight, which casts its glow across her satiny dress, as well as softly lighting her rose-cheeked face- the whole scene is in tones of browns, deep bronzes and soft gold, with deep shadows -and the couple’s closeness - creating a sense of intimacy. The painter may be on honeymoon, but that has not stopped him from working on his art. And his adoring wife, beside him, clearly supports his endeavour, seemingly enrapt by what he is working on. It’s a very Romantic scene, so tender and, we think, so very beautiful. ~💞

Here is the #VenusDeMilo w/an astonished visitor at #TheLouvre Venus will have her own separate post in a few days‘ time. #photography by my partner in 2005
2005 -The world-famous, ancient Greek sculpture/statue known as the “Venus de Milo”…with a much younger me in the foreground, looking up in amazement that I was actually seeing something I’d only ever read about or seen in books. But then the whole day We spent at The Louvre was full of moments like this. And all we “stole” were a few photographs 😉 (which no one is supposed to take but everyone did/does & most of ours turned out too dark anyway…) And even though we walked ourselves into exhaustion, we’d scarcely seen the tip of the iceberg that is The Louvre’s massive collection. Had we more time (& not been levelled so sore I could hardly move the next day after so much walking) We’d love to have returned and seen more. But we feel fortunate to have seen the many stunning works of art - paintings, sculptures & antiquities - we did see that day. I will do a separate post with a decent snap my partner got of this iconic Venus…but not today. -tam💞

Today is #ArmisticeDay which marks the end of #WW1
Again we remember all those lost with a 2 minute silence,
“at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month…”
#RememberThem The world has regressed in so many ways. We must never let evil win. 🙏 #Resist
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armisti...
Free image-not our photo- showing a closeup of several red Poppies growing amidst thick, green grass. The wearing/display of red Poppies has come to represent honouring those who died in WW1. Since that time, they’ve come to include many wars since, a symbol of remembrance honouring all those who have served and fallen. But particularly on Armistice Day - November 11th, at the precise day, time and hour all hostilities of WW1 were officially meant to have ended - we honour those who died in that war with a 2 minute silence. Today, in the UK, Katherine, Princess of Wales, will be laying a wreath in their memory at the National Arboretum. 💜

The Last Watch of Hero - Frederic Leighton, oil on canvas 1880
A poignant, gorgeous #painting depicting Hero awaiting the arrival of her secret lover, Leander. #art #LoveStory #Tragedy Inspired by #GreekMythology About their tragic story:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_an...
Lord Leighton depicts the young woman, Hero, standing in what seems a shadowy window/archway, her left arm holding back a long, dark brown drape/curtain. The other curtain, on the left side, drapes down like a dark, flowing shadow and it’s to that side she’s leaning, her forehead pressed against her raised right arm, her expression one of sadness and worry for her secret lover Leander. She is dressed in a fitted yet draping, deep orange dress, which clings to her curvaceous figure. The entire painting is in shades of deep orange (reminiscent of Leighton’s masterpiece Flaming June, though darker) and shadowed browns of nighttime. But it’s the strikingly pitiful expression of worry in her beautiful, dark-eyes that is hauntingly sad. If you read the story of Hero and Leander in the link We’ve provided, you’ll realise she had good reason to be concerned... ~💞

On this #RemembranceSunday #WeWillRememberThem
Please read ALT (Free image, not our own photo) #Poppy #Veterans #WW1 #WW2 #80thAnniversary
(Free image, not our photo) A field of red Poppies stretching far to the horizon, where a lone tree is seen, all in the glow of the setting/or rising Sun. Poppies have long symbolised those who fell in WWI…then WW2. Around the time of Remembrance Day, which is 11th November in the UK and across its Commonwealth countries, many people will be seen wearing paper (or other type pins) poppies on their lapels or some other form, as a sign of Remembrance and to honour all those who served in those wars, as well as the many wars since: for the millions who died, for those who survived - so many forever wounded in ways visible and unseen. On Remembrance Sunday ceremonies are held across the UK and Commonwealth, with a primary parade of remaining veterans and serving soldiers passing by The Cenotaph- the great memorial in London. The King, representatives of each of the Armed Forces and the UK’s Commonwealth countries, as well as politicians will each lay wreaths of poppies at the base of The Cenotaph. Today and on November 11th…We Remember Them…We are forever in debt to every one who served, for their sacrifice. In “The Great Wars” particularly WW2, they fought to save the world from Fascism. Today we face the same ugly foe, rearing its hideous head in the least expected of countries-once revered as The Land of the Free-as well as other countries. Who will stand now, who will be as brave as those who defeated Fascism 80 years ago? Do not let the sacrifice of millions be for nought: Freedom, once taken for granted, is doomed to be lost forever. We rail against injustice, we🙏 but we must also be willing to Stand Up and Resist Fascism, wherever it is…We must be as brave as those who came before us. As we honour them, we must also pick up the Standard and Fight for those hard-won Freedoms we now seem to take for granted. Resist Fascists. Now, as then, the future of the World depends upon it. 💜

Something You Don’t See Everyday-depending on where you live😊: A pair of Egyptian #Geese on the #waterfront by a marina on the #River Thames #photography by my partner.
2 Links with more info about these beautiful #birds :
www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wi...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptia...
Behind a thick white railing, on the concrete edge of a pavement above the River Thames, stand a pair of Egyptian Geese, one gently grooming its mate’s neck feathers. To be honest, the RSPB & Wiki links probably describe these better than we can here, so please🙏 forgive us not ✍️ the best description, though we’ll try. They are large, extraordinarily beautiful birds, their plumage in varying shades of light to reddish brown, with black or brown ring stripes at the base of their long necks and dark brown, “bandit-like-masks” around their golden eyes. Their beaks are kind of pinkish, with black “trim” as it were, along their tips, edges and base. One of these birds -on the left -has red, webbed feet, while its mate has dark-grey/black webbed feet. Their breast plumage is an intricate design of tiny white and dark brown feathers, which almost resembles a “tweed” effect. ~💞 A pair of Egyptian Geese standing behind a white pipe railing, on the concrete pavement above the River Thames. Please see photo one for our attempt to describe them, though we expect the RSPB and Wiki links can give you far more and better information about these extraordinary birds. Both photos were taken by my partner.~tam💞
