Give me one more chance on the midway…

By Silver Blue

….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.

Stoke the fire, would you?

By Silver Blue

Oh, I guess you’d have to have levitation powers to do that.

Remembering my Welsh Roots

By Silver Blue

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!

I thought spring was here.

By Silver Blue

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

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

By 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:

What time is it?

By Silver Blue

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)

Plenty of new photos…

By Silver Blue

…sectioned off in Galleries for you to peruse and examine. You can find them at:

http://order.silverbluephotography.com

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!
