Time and Eternity - Emily Dickinson
VIII.
Look back on time with kindly eyes,
He doubtless did his best;
How softly sinks his trembling sun
In human nature's west

Blog Guelph - Cracked
Blog Guelph dedicates todays handful of pictures to one photographer, Peter Kelly.
Not only does Peter capture his gorgeous shots "old skool" using film, but he's also the proud co-author of a newly released book, The Last Stand: A Journey Through the Ancient Cliff-Face Forest of the Niagara Escarpment.
There are a few copies available at The Bookshelf. Go check it out, it's a beauty.

Blog Guelph - three day old feet
New week, new baby.
Here we have the wee toes of Anna, born as a gift to her Dad (and Blog Guelph SuperGuy) vw-busman on Fathers Day.
If there were a season for us all, I believe summer would belong to the children.
So it with this in mind that we dedicate today to the optimism, playfulness and tenacity of kids.
May we all embrace their spirit.

Blog Guelph - Heaven
Blog-ites!
Solstice is here. 'Tis the shortest night of the year so I'll offer you 5 posts of green-ishness.
Starting us off today is a dreamy shot from none other than our much missed Sue Richards.
We are sending our collective thoughts to you Sue, with warm, green hearts and hopes for all that is abundant, inside and out.
Now if the old memory banks serve me, I do believe A Midsummer Night's Dream took place on Solstice...
anon,
Downtown Lynn
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.

Blog Guelph - Chill in Purple
Heat got you down? Feeling a little steamy? Take a long look at this cool shot by night_torn_mad, and it might just chill you out.
Today Blog Guelph - with generous assistance from four fantastic photogs - rejects the doldrums normally experienced at the start of the week.
No Blue Monday here, no siree. Nary a silicone chip inside this head.
Today we celebrate Purple.
Did you know that there are colour theorists (?) who believe purple has a special, almost sacred place in nature, can spur the imagination, even boost an artist's creativity.
Bring it on I say.
People for Purple Monday!

Blog Guelph - Riverside
I believe this gorgeous photo that starts us off today is a contribution from one of Blog Guelph's newer members, scarlettmcd. But don't quote me on that - I am, after all, the potentially ill-informed guest blogger.
The next 5 posts concentrate on the theme, 'What goes around, comes around'.
Speaking of which, the Guelph & District Multicultural Festival kicks off yet again tomorrow. The annual event at Riverside Park is a great place to witness all the colours, flavours, sounds and all around multi-ness that our fair town can offer.
Check out the details on the festival website, gdmf.ca
Have a spectacular weekend all,

Blog Guelph - Silvery Rails
The railroad track is miles away,
And the day is loud with voices speaking,
Yet there isn't a train goes by all day
But I hear its whistle shrieking.
All night there isn't a train goes by,
Though the night is still for sleep and dreaming
But I see its cinders red on the sky,
And hear its engine steaming.
My heart is warm with the friends I make,
And better friends I'll not be knowing,
Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take,
No matter where it's going.

After much ado, I believe I've got it!
This will no doubt be obvious to you all, but I am the Guest Blogger for a spell while the Mighty Sue takes a much needed back seat to deal with her vermin issues (see below).
So today's 3 posts are an offering of good wishes and good luck for our beleaguered Empress of Blog.

Blog Guelph: Guelph Contemporary Dance Festival at Exhibition Park
Please accept my apologies for lax blogging over the last several days. Believe it or not, my home was invaded by a couple of red squirrels and their fleas. I wish I was joking - but in fact I had to move out of my house which includes my office.
While I sort out the damage to my home, my blogging will be irregular. But - and this is a juicy, delightful but - Blog Guelph will continue with a Guest Blogger! I'm not telling you who - so you'll just have to stay tuned to find out.
For today, I'm offering six images from the past weekend festival's that thrilled all that attended.
Remember to click the pic - leave comments - tell your friends about Blog Guelph - AND most importantly - watch out for flea-bag red squirrels with bad attitudes.
