songs about sunshine

We all know a song or two about sunshine, I'm sure.

Just off the top of my head I remember

  • Here Comes The Sun
  • Let The Sunshine In
  • Sunshine on My Shoulder    
I'm  not completely sure if those first two are titles, or just lines from the songs....
anyway, here are a few sunshiny pictures for you.



Late afternoon sun coming in through the front door at my old home.


Early morning sun through the kitchen curtain at my old home.


Early morning sun through the back porch gate at my new home.


Afternoon sun through the screened end of the porch.

I quite like sunshine, but I don't like the heat and the glare that comes with it.

    On this drab and rainy day I would take your sunshine, glare, heat and all.

    With you on the heat and glare front.

    Here today we have greyness and either mist or rain. The garden and I are happy. The cats? Not so much.

    It's amazing how sunshine helps to life our spirits in image and in song.

    Love the porch and hope that it doesn't get too hot in summer.

    Our lounge and kitchen windows face the setting sun and even now in autumn I have to pull the blinds down for an hour or so because it overheats our apartment. At the height of summer we cooked!

    Delores; feel free to gaze at these images as long and often as you like.

    EC; nice to know I'm not the only one who suffers in heat or glare.

    Sarah; thank you! I love that song.

    Joni Llanora; I'll have to youtube it, it does sound appropriate.

    Jayne; thanks, I love the lights and shadows of sunlight coming in.

    Elisabeth; yes, it does.

    Kath Lockett; the porch faces south and is shaded by the balcony above and the building behind. It should be dim and cool all summer. The front of the flat faces north and has no shelter.....

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
