Any really colourful displays in the countryside of mixed hues have usually been placed there in the same way- for effect. As I'll prove with future posts of dazzling splendour :) blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-75538752706131865052020-10-23T13:23:40.423+01:002020-10-23T13:23:40.423+01:00There is always colour, even in the cityThere is always colour, even in the cityAndyhttp://surfnslide.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-80807035204552629872020-10-19T14:18:31.658+01:002020-10-19T14:18:31.658+01:00I see what you mean about similar face paint in ce...I see what you mean about similar face paint in certain videos. Did not like Marillion's music though. Not my taste at all. Just looked it up and Fish was inspired by PG, Genesis and Bowie, among others, in the 1970s so that's probably why. Having said that Arthur Brown (The Crazy World of Arthur Brown) did it first in the 1960s, along with a flaming crown :o) Footnote:- These days pouring petrol on your head is considered unsafe.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-48490381942658048422020-10-18T10:26:53.788+01:002020-10-18T10:26:53.788+01:00Heard of Marillion but know nothing of their music...Heard of Marillion but know nothing of their music apart from one single.

Unless you've picked the only part of the Lakes where autumn doesn't happen. Check out the attached Gen Video link. I was not a fan of that band so never realized until I watched this how bonkers P.G was on stage at that time.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-42214421841007057312020-10-16T22:02:00.929+01:002020-10-16T22:02:00.929+01:00YOUR autumn colours may have been outstanding - th...YOUR autumn colours may have been outstanding - there's very little here. Strangely, when I went on the train to my home county of Yorkshire to see my parents yesterday, there was quite a bit of good colour over there - just not here in the west for some reason.

Nope, I meant Guinevere, as in Camelot, 12th century Arthurian legend, and the classic Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young song (slightly different spelling) which was the tune going through my head when writing this post. I just don't throw them together you know- I really think hard about it...Titania is a terrible name for a diminutive fey. Not right at all in my opinion. Don't like it... never use it.<br /><br />You have no artistic eyes Carol, Autumn colour this year has been outstanding... everywhere.

Guinevere was a mere mortal (albeit supposedly a good-looking one!)<br /><br />It's alright getting autumnal colours but I generally find we never get the weather (and so the light) to do them justice around here so I rarely get any decent autumn photos :-( Having said that, we haven't got much colour either this year - only the odd tree...Carolhttp://www.mountaincowardadventures.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
