LOOK AROUND

I've been for a walk
on a winter's day.

All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey.

Look around you, look up here.
Take time to make time.
Make time to be there.

Look around, leaves are brown.
There's a patch of snow on the ground.

Look around leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.

Look around, be a part.
Feel for the winter
But don't have a cold heart.


Can you name those three tunes and their artists without looking them up?

  2. Mamas and the Papas and I'm drawing a blank - yeah, I'm getting old.

    What gorgeous gorgeous shots and I LOVE the chickadee (one my favorite feathered friends).

  5. I look around everyday, and I have found many wonders, day after day.

    But I got what Mama Zen has proposed only.

  6. Wow! OK, the other has to be Simon & Garfunkel..what a beautiful scene to reflect on- you can't beat the magic of fallen leaves and the crisp cool air with colorful berries and a lovely birdy..(lol) can't get better than that! Splendid Lennie!

  8. Great! California Dreamin' by Mamas and Papas, Lady by Little River Band and Hazy Shade of Winter by Simon and Garfunkel. NOW name the all-female band who covered Hazy Shade of Winter??

  9. No, but I can sing every word to all of them. Which is a little sad. Because I can't sing ANY opera.

  12. Most of the stuff in my head is from the 80's. I'm terrible at learning song lyrics. Your pictures were beautiful - even for hazy winter days. You are so talented!

    A little note for you at my place - read the last part of the post at your own peril.

  14. I only got the Mamas and the Papas .... but was the cover version by The Bangles? Fabulous photos!!

  15. frayedattheedge is right. The Bangles covered Hazy Shade of Winter in 1982 and it went to number two on the US charts according to the all-knowing Wikipedia. Thanks everybody for playing along.

  17. California Dreaming is the only one I know and now I am going to cheat and look at your other comments! I really love these pictures. The mixture of sombre and bright is so lovely.
