Heavenly Dancers

Ah to wake up and have a real fire to "play" with!

Very cold last night. So the first job this morning was to light the fire.

I took up some special coated pine cones called "northern lights".

They burn in greens and blues. They were great they danced in the fire, like heavenly dancers, just like the song!

THE NORTHERN LIGHTS OF OLD ABERDEEN

When I was a lad, a tiny wee lad
My mother said to me
Come see the Northern Lights my boy
They' re bright as they can be
She called them the heavenly dancers
Merry dancers in the sky
I'll never forget, that wonderful sight
They made the heav ens bright

The Northern Lights of old Aberdeen
Mean home sweet home to me
The Northern Lights of old Aberdeen
Are what I long to see
I?ve been a wanderer all of my life
Any many a sight I've seen
God speed the day when l' m on my way
To my home in Aberdeen

I've wandered in many far-off lands
And travelled many a mile
I've missed the folk I cherished most
The joy of a friendly smile
It warms up the heart of a wand'rer
The clasp of a welcoming hand
To greet me when, I return
Home to my native land
Chorus

I took a slow drive home stopping to take photos. Howeer the weather turned so couldn't stop in Glencoe & Rannoch Moor, shame as I wanted to get some nice shots there.

Other contenders for the blip today were

Loch Mudle

Mingary Castle
