Sunday Mornings
This is the city park, right down the street from my house, where my daughter and I go on the weekends. My camera is not very good, but the view in person is beautiful. There is a place right near a creek nestled behind the shubbery that she and I have called "our secret place." It's the only time that the dandelion tufts floating around in the air don't piss me off.

Ebudæ
|
Amharc, mná ag obair lá 's mall san oích',
Ceolann siad ar laetha geal, a bhí,
Bealach fada anonn 's anall a chóich'.
|
Look, women working by day and late at night,
They sing of bright days that were,
A long way back and forth forever.

The Hebrides, or Western Isles, of Scotland were known as the Hebudæ or the Ebudæ in ancient times. The name is of Latin origin, appearing on ancient maps of Roman Britain. This song is loosely based on the traditional "waulking songs" sung by women and used when fulling cloth. Waulking songs are unique to the Outer Hebrides.
