I never have, only what we call "Kornmodsglans" (it's explained as the reflections of faraway lightning) it's like large white curtains on the sky in late summer. It's called kornmod = ripe corn, because it occurs, when the corn is ripe. It looks beautiful, but not at all like the borealis.<br /><br />Did you see the documentary with Joanna Lumley when she was at Nordkap in Norway and saw the Aurora? This was so beautiful.<br /><br />The belted cattle and the Higland cattle are so sweet and friendly. I cannot resist them, and their little calves are so cute!<br /><br />Thank you for comment!<br />Grethe ´)Thyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06784021614587470421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679050.post-547556267263045142012-02-23T17:26:10.844-08:002012-02-23T17:26:10.844-08:00What a beautiful tour.

We've missed any sort of winter this year, and it cheers me to see such nice photos surrounded by such interesting commentary.<br /><br />I've heard of the Galloway cattle, but never was curious enough to look them up. Now that I see one with it's "belt", I realize there are a few stockmen here who have them. I don't see them often - it's been maybe a year or two since I've last seen one. They probably are kept as "exotics" - funny to think of cattle as exotic, but we get our milk and meat from other breeds.<br /><br />During the last month there have been such beautiful photos of the northern lights, the Aurora Borealis. Did you happen to see them? I think it would be wonderful.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679050.post-13855417787346821052012-02-21T11:38:00.538-08:002012-02-21T11:38:00.538-08:00Welcome back Joan, I have missed you and your post...Welcome back Joan, I have missed you and your posts.

I thought that they might be too dark, but you know the feeling in such a day. That's great. You've got snow too now. <br /><br />I've got a little addition too. It's a lovely poem you have in your latest post. You are certainly a poet yourself.<br /><br />Grethe ´)Thyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06784021614587470421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679050.post-33987576484949519582012-02-21T07:16:24.787-08:002012-02-21T07:16:24.787-08:00I keep forgetting to mention how much I'm enjo...I keep forgetting to mention how much I'm enjoying your carnival theme on your sidebar - wonderfully depicted in those paintings.Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679050.post-65792446924423308372012-02-21T07:14:07.957-08:002012-02-21T07:14:07.957-08:00You have imbued these images and your words with a...You have imbued these images and your words with a wonderful feeling. I have come to love what is oft considered "bleak." There's a beauty to it that is growing on me. Your descriptions make it easy to imagine your day. I'm so glad I stopped by this morning to read this. We got three inches of snow overnight. I love how it softens the landscape, but am looking forward to spring and all the blossoms.<br /><br />I love your description of the ponies standing in hay. And the blue tinge to your photos really create then mood of the day.

Isn't it a shame that our illusions often disappear out of the window? Thank you so much for your comment.

We have the same here, where the pastor has to please the congregation or be sent off. I can understand if there's a personality clash or if the setting doesn't suit and so on, but what if the congregation doesn't like the message? I've given some thought to the whys of this, actually.<br /><br />Lovely photo, Grethe.
