  1. Gorgeous shot!

    I’ve been staying up too late and in bed too long! Times about to change though.
    My days tend to run all together sometimes.
    Sometimes I don’t mind a power outage.
    Singing anywhere is fun!

  2. Hi Claudia! I still love that photo!
    During a power outage, I think: Oh how beautifully quiet it is with no machines constantly humming in the background. Let’s light a candle and talk to each other!
    Here’s to a happy weekend!

    • Hehehe – I know, Maureen, you’ve seen it first on G+ 🙂 But I thought I had to share it here, too.
      You are right, that can be a (and was during Sandy the only) positive thing during an outage.

  3. I always tell my hubby not to quit his day job – not that I’m so much better at singing! 🙂 But he shoudl defintely stick to his instruments! Love the poppies, not a sight you see down here and one, as I told you before, remninds me of home and childhood.

    • You have got a very musical family, Susi. I don’t think I have heard him sing yet, but the guitar is great.
      Yeah, poppies – so beautiful. When I saw they were in bloom while I was in Germany in June I specifically went on a poppy hunt. And got rewarded by clouds, too 😉

  4. This is a stunning photo – needs no word {but I’m glad you thought of a few phrases of 6 and shared it with us!!} …I’m often singing and don’t even realize it. Not good at the office!

    • Thank you, Adrienne. I had to come with some words to be able to share with you. I tell you, sometimes it is easy, but sometimes – not so much.
      Hah – singing in the office?! That’d be something 🙂

    • Thank you so much! You have got a long day. I used to get up at 6 and go running, but since my run-in with lyme last year, I seem to have lost my will to get up that early – sigh – although I should.

    • Thank you very much, Tamara. Right now we have almost only b&w photos up on our walls, but… one day…
      I think singing is great no matter where and when, only – the singer should be aware if it is fit for public hearing or not 😀

    • Thank you, Hilary. After the few disasters that happened since we moved here we have thought about getting a generator, but so far never did. Too many choices and rather difficult to find the right sized one for a townhouse…
      I can imagine, LI must have been very scary during and then after Sandy – oh my…

  5. Very edgy picture. Brings back memories of walking home from school through a field as a child. I feel ya on the generator. I have an electrician in the family and he tells me I cannot have one. No place to put one where the fumes would not be a huge problem.

    • Walking through the fields to school sounds like fun today, I bet not so much when you were a child though.
      Exactly, the space that generator would need, depending on the power output etc. etc.

  6. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I LOVE this one. I’d decorate an entire room around that picture. 🙂
    I am never to bed before midnight – sometimes later – and all the kids are usually up by 8 am. That will have to change when school starts — they will be up earlier. I will still be up till midnight. I’m just a night owl.
    I am very fond of shower singing. I don’t know any other way to take a shower??? 🙂

  7. The last power outage was the day before yesterday. It was just before dinner time and lasted about 1.5 hrs with some short moments of flickering light. I am still in Montenegro btw and I love this photo with the threatening sky !

    Cheers, Michael
