A few brown things from my world.
Burdock in autumn
False Turkey-tail Fungus
Quarry face in Ballard Park
Summer feet!Music time! And me being me, it's time to jump into the WayBack Machine with Mr. Peabody and go visit 1965 - Peter Noone and Herman's Hermits singing "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter".
Another song that popped right into my head was the classic "Sweet Georgia Brown", written in 1925 by Ben Bernie and Maceo Pinkard (music), and Kenneth Casey (lyrics). And my personal favorite version of the song is this one by Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grapelli from the '30s.
And then there's my all-time favorite "brown" song, Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl". And here's Van the Man himself singing it live in concert. Enjoy!

Beautiful images! Special thanks for Herman's Hermits! :)
ReplyDeleteLoved it - the burdock is my favourite though...and of course the feet made me smile
ReplyDeleteOoh I remember a soft drink from years ago called Dendelion and Burdock, sort of a cola flavour from memory . . lovely photos but those feet! I think I've seen them before, need to do a bit of barefoot sunbathing this summer Roy
ReplyDeleteThe burdock is my favourite (still giggling at the feet) and the Herman's Hermits brought back lots of memories.
