Blue Birds.............

Above is a Kingfisher. His colour gleams in the sun and all one sees is a flash of light as he dives for a fish. Nature comes up with some wonderful colour schemes. I believe that God created them for our pleasure and His own. If there were no God then I am positive everything would be black and white. Beautiful as it is, black and white would be boring if it was the only choice. So here are a few pretty birds in blue. The Eastern BlueBird and Indigo Bunting are about the same colour blue, but the Bunting is pure blue. Blue birds seem to have an angry expression all the time. That makes them look so cute. Then we have the Peacock in all its glory. In England a lot of country homes have Peacocks in their gardens. The sound of their voice is distinct. I will be sharing this post with Blue Monday. Thank you Smiling Sally for hosting.

Black and White..................

Well I had to didn't I? I mean I have shown the beauty of white and of black but found so many combinations that I just had to show a few of my finds. All found on the web and whose owners I do not know but gratefully give credit. Black and White is classic and beautiful if its animals and clothes and everything else. I am surprised that black does not appear in the world of flowers more often. I suppose it would fade with the sun. Well here are some lovely horses to begin with.......anyone figure out I love horses? and a few more with some baby sheep thrown in. Zebra's are a prime example of the beauty of black and white together. They come in a variety of patterns too and no two are exactly alike. I am sharing this post with Mosaic Monday hosted by Little Red House

Black Beauty................

Black is beautiful. I can not associate it with evil. It has it's own dark mystery to be sure but no one can deny the beauty. The dark, the shadows, the night.........all is beautiful in its own right. Here are some beautiful horses, fairies and other things to enjoy the dark side of things. I think a black horse is almost a fantasy. The ebony black is rare, but some breeds just manage it so well. Every little girl who read the story of Black Beauty wanted a black horse. The story by Anna Sewell was the equivalent of what Charles Dickens did for children. It brought to light the cruelty of the days before cars when horses were worked to death in the mines and in the cities. No one can read the book and not see how wrong it all is and still is today. These animals have feelings and love as we do. Probably better than we do. They are loyal and loving companions and they will work to please as best they can. I like to see them as free spirits, although with a kind human in their lives they can have a longer and healthier life. I can not imagine that mane and tail in the wild. Fresians are known for them and I would imagine require a LOT of grooming. I not only like Black horses but also black cats, especially Panthers. In fact I adore black clothes and makeup. Smokey, sultry eyes....... Cher always looked so good in Black........... Somehow, black seems to me as pure as white. Just look at the cats eyes and how the black shows them off to perfection. Then there are the fairies............... So black as devoid of colour as white to me is just as pure. I can not stop, I just have to post a few more lovely things...........I love graveyards. I love the silence, the melancholy the angels Back to horses......I just adore the long manes and tails, did I already say that? This one is just so full of freedom, and beauty and high spirits. I could go on but will refrain at least in this post........enjoy the pictures that I have found on the web and gratefully use giving full credit to those who took the pictures and who I do not know.

Dragonflies.............

I took some pictures the other day, I love to see Dragonflies, they are so pretty. I got a couple of good shots in the hope of drawing them later. I must try to find the names of them.............this one is very pretty. I must say that my favourites though are the neon blues and greens. I have not caught any good pictures yet of the big ones. I did manage this guy but its not a good shot. There were dozens of them flitting around in the grass, so not easy to capture. We got this one a few weeks ago, again it was in the grass so its hard to see but this is what I am looking for. This guy was in my garden yesterday. It was a job to get the picture. He sat still but was so small my camera could not focus. I also have a problem seeing (with one eye) if its in focus or not. Anyway......this one came out not too bad. One more from my garden......

White..............

Pure white........anyone watch Game of Thrones. This girl and this horse together are beautiful. Of course white horses are always beautiful. This beauty looks shy.... So many beautiful horses........ A special bond between girls and horses it seems. I know I love them dearly and forever. This one speaks for itself. I hope everyone has enjoyed this post. I will probably keep adding to it as I never run out of beautiful horses. Pure as the driven snow........... Wonderful Andalusian......look at that hair. Sorry mane. Flowers in her hair...............one of my favourites. Thanks to all the photographers who have such talent and capture the spirit of these beautiful creatures. The pictures come from Photobucket and some from Facebook calenders so I do not know the photographers but I have to at least give them credit that these lovely shots deserve I am linking up with White Wednesday to show off these lovely horses and things.
