Happening once very four years for astronomical reasons, the leap year is the one which sends attached but unmarried men into a panic. It is the day on which it is said women can go against tradition and propose marriage to their man themselves! But did you know that our Gregorian calendar in which we have an extra day in February actually stems from the Julian calendar which was developed by Julius Caesar himself in 46BC? The man was an all-round genius and legend!

Day 60 - Leap Year

Saturdays picture comes courtesy of a candle bottle in the pub we stopped off at to have lunch. It was ages since my hubby and I had had a pub lunch and it was just what the doctor ordered before we headed to the Gower. The colour reference is obviously the Red wax on the Green bottle!

Day 53 (Colour) - An Apple a Day....
The saying has obviously done the rounds and the above variant is what we know today but it's funny the new things you learn when you go looking for something to tie up with your pictures!"A Pembrokeshire proverb. Eat an apple on going to bed, And you'll keep the doctor from earning his bread."

Day 38 (Colour) - White Rose
A quote made famous in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. In this great tragedy, Romeo and Juliet are "star-crossed lovers" and cannot help their mutual attraction and fall in love, despite their feuding families. The rose metaphor comes in the play's famous balcony scene in a speech made by Juliet where she declares her love for Romeo despite him being a Montague. However, legend has it that the reference to the rose was an inside joke aimed at the Rose Theatre, the rival to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, whose toilet facilities were quite offensive on the nose and the reference to the rose was a sly dig at this fact!

Day 32 (Colour) - Blue Construction
Today's picture was a constructed picture using the blue hard hat as the colour focus for today. Strong colours can make a dull picture just that little bit more interesting. And I can already predict we will have more constructed pictures this month incorporating the colour theme.
