Sunday links continues
Today’s Sunday links are almost completely non-food related, just a bunch of links that caught my eye or made me a happier person. I hope you too will enjoy at least one of them.
Norman Rockwell’s photo realism made me very happy, I love the photos and I truly enjoy the changes he made to some of them when he made the illustrations.
One can have opinions about the amount of money spent on a film but judging from these photos, the results are spectacular!
I am still a literary historian deep down and I do love poetry, especially when read aloud because the rhythms of the lines and words are such an important part of poetry so this little audio library made me very happy indeed!
There is so much out there in the world to discover, even simple things like this.
And please, Santa, give me this for Christmas, I need one for the cold months in this house, just perfect to ‘wear’ when I recline on the sofa!
And talking about Christmas, take a look at Frizzifrizzi’s Christmas guide, it is added to all the time and don’t fear, many of the sites are in English.
Fun links. I love Norman Rockwell and I enjoyed the poetry readings.
I love your new look and the fact that the photos are larger. Love it!

vilka vackra bilder. Jag ska kolla in länkarna och se vad som gömmer sig. Ha en trevlig andra advent.

Love the bottom photo of maple (?) leaves on the dewy grass.
Thanks for the links. I have bookmarked that Norton poetry clip link; it really is wonderful to hear poetry recited (even though I’m not entirely fond of all of the chosen readers’ voices).
Is it any surprise, really, that tomatoes et al are carnivorous plants? They aren’t called “deadly nightshades” for nothing!
I love the bottom photo too – gorgeous! and that bear bag is amazing – hope Santa comes thru for you!
whoopsie that was me…not “guest”
I love the new look! So light and clean. Your new design really shows off your beautiful photography. Go Baby! xox
Paz- I am happy you liked more than one of the inks! xo
Dil-tack detsamma!
Lilian-No it is not a maple leave, it’s vine leaves, they escape and trail along in the grass like this.
About the poetry, I thought that maybe poetry written by British poets sounds best performed by British readers and the same goes for American poetry.
Ooops I hit the send buttom to quickly there!
Bron-you and me in those, what a smashing couple we could be!
Karina-Thanks a lot xox
A vine, eh? I’d love to know which–it looks so familiar.
I agree with your comment about the poetry–which was why I took umbrage at the first clip I listened to, Mary Jo Salter (an American) reciting “When I Was Fair and Young” (Queen Elizabeth I). I imagine Salter was allowed to recite that one (and several others) because she is an editor of the Norton Anthology of Poetry. What a pity; her inflection is all wrong for that poem.
