Dutch's Tuesday Photo Challenge

Dutch's Tuesday Photo Challenge ROSE


To get inspiration for this challenge, I searched my external hard drive for the word ROSE, not really expecting much as I would usually just tag photos as "flowers", or so I thought.

This is what appeared.

The ROSE window at a mission in Texas.


A ROSE coloured mural by Emily May ROSE, a Toronto artist.



In 2013 Shear Display was given the opportunity to take part in Toronto’s Nuit Blanche as the installers for “The Rose is Without Why”, by French artist Boris Achour.

The installation featured a custom designed mounting system, and fluorescent tube lights were used to spell out a short poem by 17th-century poet Johannes Scheffler.


The Rose Is Without Why, It Blooms Because It Blooms, It Cares Not For Itself, Asks Not If It Is Seen.

May 2010 - Liverpool England


20 Forthlin Road is a National Trust property in south Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is the house in which Paul McCartney lived for several years before he rose to fame with The Beatles. It was also the home of his brother Mike.

The Trust markets the house as "the birthplace of the Beatles", since this is the place where The Beatles composed and rehearsed their earliest songs.

Dreaming of France



 The rules for this meme are: Please join this weekly meme. Grab a copy of the photo above and link back to An Accidental Blog. Share with the rest of us your passion for France. Did you read a good book set in France? See a movie? Take a photo in France? Have an adventure? Eat a fabulous meal or even just a pastry? Or if you're in France now, go ahead and lord it over the rest of us. We can take it.
Maybe we can all satisfy our yearnings for France, until we get there again.

October 2012 - Strasbourg France

Isn't this so colourful and so French!

We flew Air Canada on points and $170 for both of us.

We stayed at the Sheraton Four Points last Thursday. The hotel is part of an office complex near the harbour. Our room overlooked the courtyard which had murals painted to create an old-fashioned town.
