Saturday Snapshot-Lake District

For last week's Saturday Snapshot I shared some pictures of flowers I encountered during our family trip to the UK (2009). Continuing with that theme, this week I'm going to share with you some more pictures of nature that we saw on our trip.

Thanks to Melinda @ Westmetromommyreads for hosting this meme every week!


If I'm not mistaken, I believe that this is Lake District....




Have you ever been out on Lake District? Perhaps you enjoy boating near your home? Let me know in the comments below, and enjoy your weekend!

    Oh yes I have! But it was nearly 30 yrs ago & my memory of it is lots of grey skies & narrow cobblestone streets.

    Looks like you had beautiful weather for your visit 😊

    I love the soft, muted tones in your beautiful photos. I have been to England but didn't make it to the Lake District. I'd love to spend time there, especially now that I've seen your pictures.

      Well the clicking credits go to my dad on this one- in fact on most of my Saturday Snapshots. I always take pictures and then end up preferring the ones my dad sends me later on!

      That was my aim Di! I'm glad that I've inspired some people to want to travel more- even if just locally, travel is one of the best experiences ever.

      Of course, the work you have to do when you get back always mounts up.....but I still think that travelling adds so much to your personality and memories!

The Hero, by Rabindranath Tagore

 The narrative poem" The Hero" was written by Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. Set in a young boy's imaginations this narrative has all the necessary elements and is rich in imagery. The characters, plot, setting, theme, climax and idea are all very clearly outlined.  The setting of the poem falls within the boy's imagination. It is described to have 'spiky grass' and a 'narrow broken path'. It is also mentioned that the country is 'strange and dangerous'. The rurality of the setting is further accentuated when Tagore talks of the 'cattle' and 'wide fields'.

I cannot remember my mother by Rabindranath Tagore

 The poem has been titled " I cannot remember my mother". It attracted me for some reason, for I thought that surely, a poem couldn't be completely empty. There had to be some form of nostalgia, or memory in a poem about no remembrance.  I realized after reading it, that I was right. In fact, the poem's title can be considered an oxymoron. However, the extent to which this poem is nostalgic, the amount of tiny details in this poem, wow. But I don't suppose Tagore was a Literature Nobel Laureate for nothing. This poem has sensitized its audience to the poet's colossal loss, though the poet ,it seems,has made no effort to do so. There is nothing superfluous about his writing, and the poem seems like a true expression of his love for his mother. It talks about how his mother managed to leave her presence on everything before she passed away, and how those little memories of his,form an incomplete memory of his mother.

One by Shawnee Kellie

  The poem "One" by Shawnee Kellie is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of writing. The poem spreads the message that it is not only a large group of people that can make a change, but one idea, one thought, one human that can help make the world a better place.
