Federico Garthia Lorca is considered one of Spanish greatest poets and dramatists.
I like Federico Garthia Lorca and I'd highly recommend his work to anyone interested in poetry, drama, Spanish Literature, but mostly to anyone interested in people daring to live outside the box.
Well, what are you up to this weekend? I'm going to spend the weekend relaxing and reading Lorca's The House of Bernarda Alba (Spanish: La Casa de Bernarda Alba), a drama about women in villages of Spain.
Hope you have a wonderful Spring weekend! xx
P.S. Photos of the beautiful, delightful, peaceful English countryside. (South Devon, England. November 2010.)
Sharing with Your Sunday Best .
Update: As I'm visiting your blogs today I can't leave a comment; they are all being rejected. Is anyone else having that problem?
Hi my dear Betty, the Lorca-lover!!
ReplyDeleteNo, as you can see no problem yet!!
Wish you a weekend full of things to do, which bring you joy!!!
Truly your friend

ReplyDeleteHi Betty, thank you for visiting my blog and leave your lovely comment.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your beautiful flowers. I love the first picture, look gorgeous.
Have a nice weekend.Greetings from Malaysia.
Beautiful landscapes and quote! I will be enjoying some pleasant spring weather this weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteI was having trouble leaving comments earlier, but all seems OK now.
ReplyDeleteThat book sounds lovely - I'll add it to my lengthening list.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I am happy to have found you! I love the poem. And great pictures, especially that first one. Hope your sister is doing well.
ReplyDeleteEstupendas como siempre todas las fotos que nos has dejado. Un placer volver por tu casa.
ReplyDeleteSaludos y un abrazo.
Sounds like the perfect weekend to me! Thanks for the information about Lorca, I'll have to look for him on my next trip to the library. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Betty! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSylvia
they fixed it, started around 9 am and fixed by 10:30. you can comment now. beautiful landscapes, like paintings.
ReplyDeletesuch lovely scenes. enjoy some peace and beauty, dear...
ReplyDeleteFor me that beautiful quote by Lorca speaks of God's love for the world in Christ, but in the gospel of the resurrection that brokeness has been transcended by a victory beyond hope.
ReplyDeleteI am not familiar with Lorca's work. But speaking of drama and boldness, I like how those landscape pictures turned out! Can't leave comments today? That's a drag. I hope the issue gets worked our for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Betty! I wish you a sunny weekend. Here in Bavaria, it's raining!
ReplyDeleteHugs Crissi
hv a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! I think I will look Lorca up and see what I can find out. Thanks for that. My son is coming home this weekend and I am working on a sermon I am giving this Sunday at our church about the Worth of Water. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI like Lorca!I have seen in theater his play "bloody weeding".Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeletegreat scenary and editing. :)
ReplyDeleteThat first shot looks like it could be in Ireland! Very familiar looking...no problems posting comments, started out at 5:30 this morning, then again at 3pm...maybe I missed all the problems! Seems to be resolved now!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!! I remember reading some Lorca many years ago in Spanish Lit class. In that I read it in Spanish, I don't have much memory of it. ;)
ReplyDeletethis poem is an excellent mean to measure current time and life.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Betty! Wife is out of town and I'm gonna watch movies she doesn't like till I can't see!
ReplyDeleteYou know the Macho action adventure blow everything up with no story line whatsoever movies!
And I can finally turn em up real loud!!!
Blessings my friend!
John

Love the images. Don't know the poet. My hotspot drops me frequently during commenting. Not the same thing I suppose.
ReplyDeleteReally like the contrast of colors on the first image !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery Betty!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a problem with Blogger blogs but have with those on Wordpress.
I like Garcia Lorca.
ReplyDeleteGlad you came.
No...I'm commenting other blogs....
Love

I love the pics! Oh, I´m not sure what I´ll do this weekend, maybe bake and read a little. :-)
ReplyDeleteA nice way to spend the weekend. Luckily I'm not having comment problems but I've heard of others.

Wonderful photos with fantastic light and color. I love those beautiful landscapes, and of course I love Federico Garcia Lorca, whom I have already spent some pictures. A hug and happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteNo problems here, dear Betty! Grrr on Google/Blogger! Such a pain sometimes.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos and have a wonderful weekend reading or whatever else you decide to do. xoxo
Unas fotos muy buenas. Por supuesto no hay otro mejor que Federico García Lorca.Te mando un trozo de ALBA:
ReplyDeleteEn el bosque antiguo, lleno de negrura,
todos me mostraban sus almas cual eran:
el pinar, borracho de aroma y sonido;
los olivos viejos, cargados de ciencia;
los álamos muertos, nidales de hormigas;
el musgo, nevado de blancas violetas.
SALUDOS DESDE ESPAÑA.
Ola!
ReplyDeleteObrigada pela visita no meu blog.
Adorei as suas fotos. Parabens. Amo Garcia Lorca!
Ulindo final de semana a voce!!
beijo do Brasil....
Lovely images dear Betty, have a great weekend reading.
ReplyDeleteToday was a perfect Autumn day here,if tomorrow is as pleasant I shall be gardening.
xoxoxo ♡
Have a lovely weekend as beautiful as poetry.

That is a beautiful English cottage in your blog, I love it.
ReplyDeletejuli, welcome on board!and thanks for saying that!:)
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit that beautiful English countryside. It sounds as if you have a relaxing weekend of reading ahead of you. I'll be working in the yard. It may not be quite as relaxing, but I enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos!
ReplyDeleteI cannot comment with Chrome on blogs that do not have pop-up pages for comment. I downloaded Firefox and use that for those blogs. It was fixed once, but now still a problem.
Looks like such a peaceful town.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are wonderful. I feel like I could just run onto that green grass.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad my blog accepted your comment. I was having some problems leaving comments yesterday too.
Be well, and enjoy your book.

Hi Betty, Great pictures today... This weekend, I am spending most of it working in the yard. I need to mulch some more flowerbeds --and of course, those weeds love to grow where I don't want them to... ha
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your weekend.
Hugs,
Betsy
Beautiful shots! I love those stone buildings.
ReplyDeleteLorca reminds me of my school days in Havana as he was part of the curriculum. I never got him then. It was only later as a young man in uni that I approached his plays and poems again and fell in love with them. Many thanks for that wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
what lovely photos, the top one especially!
ReplyDeleteI acted in a production of Lorca's Blood Wedding once! What a wonderful play! I also like hos poetry very much!
What gorgeous country! I just love those houses in your second shot. Beautiful photos, Betty!
ReplyDeleteI, too am a lover of Lorca and those pictures are stunning! I hope the weekend is treating you well.
ReplyDelete:-)
Traci

ReplyDeleteI love these pictures, I like to stroll through this beautiful place. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteI love his poetry and these photos. I do have the comment problem on certain blogs. It varies from day to day.
ReplyDeleteNice poetry! Great shots! Love the first shot across the fields :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great week ahead Betty!
Thanks'
Hi Betty, I hope you enjoyed your book and I love your photos of the English countryside. Have a wonderful week ahead.
ReplyDeleteStunning photos. I'd love to be there with my lover too.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful countryside! Hope you had a relaxing weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou must have a terrific weekend.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll never be in a hurry. Nature is always with me.
I love your shots of these meadows of the English countryside, it seems that we are sticking to a sale.
ReplyDeleteGood job, Greetings. -
Gracias Betty por visitar y seguir mi blog, gracias a eso he podido conocer el tuyo. Hermosas fotos y extraordinarios comentarios.. Un abrazo y saludos desde madrid
ReplyDeleteBuenas imágenes, que nos muestran la gran belleza de la campiña inglesa. Muy acertada la elección de Federico García Lorca para su lectura.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
*** Bonjour Betty :o) ! Tes photos sont belles ! Merci à toi et GROS BISOUS ! :o) ***
ReplyDeleteEstupendas fotos de una encantadora campiña inglesa.

Outstanding landscape, really English and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLéia
Blissful shots indeed. Here's hoping you had a perfect week-end. x
ReplyDeleteFantásticas fotos!
ReplyDeleteConheço algumas obras de F. G: Lorca.
Um dos grandes de Literatura espanhola.
Obrigada pela visita ao meu blogue.
That makes me want to travel to Europe desperately!
ReplyDeleteMe ha gustado mucho esta serie de paisajes. En especial las dos primeras fotos por la atmósfera de otro tiempo que has conseguido gracias al colorido e iluminación.
ReplyDeleteGracias por cu comentario en mi blog.
Con tu permiso, me hago seguidor y te envío un afectuoso saludo.
Yup, I had those commenting issues last week too.
ReplyDeleteThese are neat pictures!
Me gusta mucho la tonalidad y el enfoque de las imágenes. Muy buenas. Saludos.-
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit the beautiful British countryside.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend:D
great images. second one is fantastic.i love it
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful series of images Betty, and such a gorgeous landscape.
ReplyDeleteI have had some issues leaving comments over the past couple of days. Keep getting "Error 503." When I try a second time, it usually works for me.
I wish you a beautiful week ahead!
Great García Lorca! One of my favorites. He once said: "Poetry is the union of two words that you never meant that they could join together, and forming something of a mystery." He said also: "As I have not worried to be born, do not worry about dying."
ReplyDeleteAnother of my favorites is Quevedo. If you have not read, I recommend it. It's satirical, rhetorical ... phlegmatic. He once said: "Life is a strange emptiness that death occupies."
Beautiful pictures of the English countryside. I love your pictures. I like England and its landscape is very similar to Asturias, where I live.
If you do not mind, from this moment, I become a follower of your wonderful space, full of sensitivity, feelings ... colors.
Thank you! For your comment on my Poetry poesiayvivencias my blog. It is a pleasure and pride to have supporters like you, Betty.
A hug.
My weekend was so busy! Wish it could have been as relaxing as those photos look!
