Taken a few miles east of Leicester, near Allexton. Its that time in the UK, just before the wheat gets harvested – heavy heads beginning to nod gently under the weight of the grain, and the weather unable to decide whether it is summer or not, threatening to flatten the crop, just it is ready. Leicestershire is full of distant horizons like this, and the Barley is all but in now, much of the ground already having been put under the plough in readiness for the next crop.

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod (Dutch Lullaby) / by Eugene Field (1850-1895) Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night / Sailed off in a wooden shoe—- / Sailed on a river of crystal light, / Into a sea of dew. / “Where are you going, and what do you wish?” / The old moon asked the three. / “We have come to fish for the herring fish / That live in this beautiful sea; / Nets of silver and gold have we!” / Said Wynken, / Blynken, / And Nod. The old moon laughed and sang a song, / As they rocked in the wooden shoe, / And the wind that sped them all night long / Ruffled the waves of dew. / The little stars were the herring fish / That lived in that beautiful sea-- / “Now cast your nets wherever you wish— / Never afeard are we”; / So cried the stars to the fishermen three: / Wynken, / Blynken, / And Nod. All night long their nets they threw / To the stars in the twinkling foam-- / Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe, / Bringing the fishermen home; / ‘T was all so pretty a sail it seemed / As if it could not be, / And some folks thought ‘t was a dream they ‘d dreamed / Of sailing that beautiful sea— / But I shall name you the fishermen three: / Wynken, / Blynken, / And Nod. Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes, / And Nod is a little head, / And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies / Is a wee one’s trundle-bed. / So shut your eyes while mother sings / Of wonderful sights that be, / And you shall see the beautiful things / As you rock in the misty sea, / Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three: / Wynken, / Blynken, / And Nod.

Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands With your mercury mouth in the missionary times, / And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes, / And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes, / Oh, who among them do they think could bury you? / With your pockets well protected at last, / And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass, / And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass, / Who among them do they think could carry you? Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands, / Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes, / My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums, / Should I leave them by your gate, / Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?

Viewing the dark bark on this tree , I see a towering figure with his knee up strumming a Mandolin. Next to him is a small figure with orange flowing robes who is the shaman of the village. He is listening quietly to the melodic messages that fuel his spirit to lead his people out of danger. The soft and lovely melodic songs are healing remedies that communicate through music profound spiritual powers. There are more scenes of this high snowy mountain where he lives with a group of people who have created a spiritual and peaceful environment despite the harsh elements they must confront to maintain their safety. They have been tormented as a result of their values and spiritual beliefs. They live in the land of Nod. Many of my images have graphic illustrations that I see in the bark of trees. Stories appear to be condensed in nature’s imagery. What do you see in this multi-textured image? /

We pass these all the time but they were working hard this last trip and I couldn’t resist taking a picture of them. These are located on Highway 831. Not many people are familiar with these icons of the oil industry unless they are from the prairies. Here in Alberta they can be found fairly much province wide.The heavy heads move up and down and facilitate the movement of oil from under the ground into pipes. These dot oil rich areas in Alberta and Saskatchewan. (nodding donkey) Informal (in the oil industry) a type of reciprocating pump used to extract oil from an inland well / (C20: so called from its shape and movement) English Collins Dictionary – English Definition & Thesaurus

This is another illustration of the people from the land of Nod. They belong to a sect, People of The Labyrinth. The Labyrinth is not a simple maze; the pathways and openings in the walls of the maze change from time to time, and are riddled with logic-puzzles and tests to explore this mysterious mountain region. It appears that they are looking outward. What do you think they are viewing? What images do you see in this bark abstract? I see many images, but your projections are unique and creative and I appreciate your perceptions of the myriad of images in this painterly photograph. Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) wrote poetry for children in a lovely book, A Child’s Garden of Verses and Underwoods. This poem is titled The Land of Nod. From breakfast on through all the day / At home among my friends I stay, / But every night I go abroad / Afar into the land of Nod. / / All by myself I have to go, / With no one to tell me what to do— / All alone beside the streams / And up the mountain-sides of dreams. / / The strangest things are there for me, / Both things to eat and things to see, / And many frightening sights abroad / Till morning in the land of Nod. / / Try as I like to find the way, / I never can get back by day, / Nor can remember plain and clear / The curious music that I hear.

I don’t know who was drowsier as I watched Mr. Scruffy on his tiny branch, me or my little hummer friend. We both seemed to be nodding in the heat of Indian summer. I got this shot of him napping just before I, too, had to call it quits and head inside for a little snooze. View larger so you can see Mr. Scruffy’s little eyelid! Here’s Mr. Scruffy in his waking state:

Anyone who knows me knows I love to sleep. My greatest teacher in the art of sleep (or ‘peep’ as I know it) has been my dog, Jess. And here greatest teacher? Dr Flossophy from the land of Nod. Tonight Jess and I decided to illustrate the best four positions of ‘peep.’ A great poster for home and for the workplace. Especially during those all important meetings. Enjoy ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
