This is the Oamaru Creek when it isn't in flood. John has the habit of starting to sing a song that he knew from his childhood. This particular one took my fancy for a picture and so here it is. The word, maiden, is not used much at all nowdays, I wonder why!
The music is:

Not sure if this link will work for all.


Three good things:
1. There is plenty of other music to listen to in order to stop this tune going on and on in my head!
2. Britains Got Talent.
3. Cottage cheese with chives
That is so beautifully done, Maggiemae. Love the poem too. Fav

Is that your John singing Maggiemae.......he has a lovely voice so suited to singing that song......I am impressed! A fave for the singing alone!
Beautifully presented photo !

@happypat glad you could connect to the music- no, that's not John. I suggested we both sing it then continued saying that perhaps no one would want to listen to us! He agreed! Thanks for your fav, Pat!

Cottage cheese with chives sounds yummy and good luck to find some chives around the creek.

Lovely

@yaorenliu the cottage cheese comes with chives but that gave me an idea! I will put some more in from our garden!

Nice shot, Maggiemae. I like the maidens in the shot. Nice touch. I like #2 on your list. I have been watching, too! I am not wowed by any act yet. Last year I was wowed by Attraction and the year before that was Ashleigh and Pudsey (I couldn't vote, but my better half could so I made him call and vote for them!)
May 7th, 2014  
absolutely luv your processing ..straight out of a story book ..easy fav
May 7th, 2014  
@prttblues Was Ashley and Pudsey that long ago!! I thought they were really great to win!

@friend2303 Thank you Vijay - you are a great friend, 2303 and all!

@maggiemae Yup, they were two seasons ago! I have checked a few YouTube videos since they won. I love Pudsey. He's so adorable. I am so glad they won. And I see Attraction has been making adverts for TV. I have my connection to watch programs like BGT and The Apprentice and Pointless (I LOVE Pointless! ... I want to go on and be a contestant!!).

You are so creative!
May 7th, 2014

Fabulous composition and editing. Clever to use the song as inspiration.
May 7th, 2014  
A wonderful and magical composition - it goes so beautifully with the song.
May 7th, 2014  
Ah, nice little fair maidens they are. wonder if they caught anything on their fishing poles?
May 7th, 2014  
Very mystical looking xx
May 7th, 2014  
Has a timeless look to it - very creative and a great little song too.
May 7th, 2014  
Fab with that song! Can't be lib you're subjected to BGT!
May 7th, 2014  
Sweet shot and processing. So fun!
May 7th, 2014  
i love the processing you employed here, and the fishing maidens are so aptly placed. i think maiden had been replaced by broad, hahaha!
May 7th, 2014  
@summerfield Doesn't sound quite the same, though, does it? "Two broads were fishing alone"
May 7th, 2014  
Beautiful and creative image.
May 8th, 2014
