….let me dance with my feet off the ground…give me back the world I remember, one more ride on the merry-go-round.*
The hand-carved carousel formerly of the Buckroe Beach Amusement Park (1921-1985). Now housed in downtown Hampton.

The “Barker” comes from Wales. In 2010, Santa came from the U.K. and filled my stocking with all sorts of goodies!

My friends from across the pond will recognize a good deal of these!

Mother Nature seems to have other plans. Still, there is joy to be found. Here’s a memory I call “Kiss the Rain.”

Roses, rain. Somehow the two seem to compliment each other. – Silver Blue

Sorry, readers, to have been away for so long. I’ve been so busy with my day job, and attempting to sneak in time for Photo Phridays, Snapshot Saturdays, and everything else that I’ve neglected the blog. So, for those who aren’t following me on Facebook, here’s a selection of photos taken at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg during their Christmas Town celebration:


































Silver Blue, who hopes to be able to keep up with the blog more frequently now….

Ask the dandelion clock. What’s a dandelion clock?

A children’s amusement in which the number of puffs needed to blow the filamentous achenes from a dandelion is supposed to tell the time. ( http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dandelion_clock )
Silver Blue, who reminds you that when you ask the time of a dandelion clock, you must not be afraid of the answer. (paraphrased from Madeline L’Engle, A Swiftly Tilting Planet)

I’ve been so busy with life, photography, and trying to make a difference with the company that it seems like I’ve abandoned the blog, but I’ve not. I promise.

So….smile for a while and let’s be jolly…love shouldn’t be so melancholy… come along and share the good times while we can…
Silver Blue, who is looking forward to the change in the foliage… for it can only mean more photos on the horizon!
