MANX FAIRY MAGIC - RAMSEY SKYWATCH

Could it be Manx Fairy Magic?


Well I don't think it's the Isle Of Man Fairies weaving their Manxie Magic and painting the sky with ribbons of gorgeous colour. No I think it's just another wonderful sunset over The Poyll Dooey Nature Reserve. There again with a name as weird as Poyll Dooey you would expect faires elves and Mystical types to be living here. Might even be Ginnie the Witch another famous Manxie. Click on the red words to find out what I'm on waffling about.


Good news - The Maxtor is working
Bad news- No new laptop yet
Good news- I can start taking new images again
Bad news- No laptop to upload too
Good news- The Maxtor holds tonnes of images
Bad news- Gary needs his laptop back.. er now.


Gary is now designing his Christmas Card. Not just any Christmas Card, but a Political Christmas Card. You have no idea the places that this card will turn up, but put it this way a Black Door with a black door knocker and a White House will have a little bit of Ramsey, courtesy of Gary Barker, BBC now and again Political Cartooinst. Do you dare me to add my name, Babooshka Ramsey Daily Photo? Anyway he needs are greater we are sharing his laptop. By the way the cards are being rush printed tonight in America, yes that's right America. The best price and the best service. Now that's not manx magic.


To join us go to SKYWATCH.


The concept was DOT'S, the next host WIGGERS WORLD the guardians of skywatch are Klaus | Sandy | Ivar | Wren | Fishing Guy| Louise

  2. Colourful! (And I'll never buy another Maxtor - they depend on their own drivers which can make the disk totally inoperable).

    My SWF posts are here and here. Hope you can stop by if you can, it'll be very much appreciated. Happy weekends!

  36. Splendid sunset dear Babooshka! I'm curious about Gary's political Christmas Card, its design as you described seems quite powerful but it can be interpreted in many ways, no? Have a nice week-end! :-)

    ReplyDelete

  40. An awesome shot. I love pictures (taking and seeing)of sunrises and sunsets. You never know what the next one will bring.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Hi Babooshka, been off the blog visiting circuit for a bit, real life rudely interfering with my cyber life, but great to be back, and greeted by this particular periwinkle blue sky, my FAVOURITE shade of blue. Great pic.

    ReplyDelete
  42. More like clever Babooshka than a clever fairy me thinks

    ReplyDelete
  43. ciel magnifique et ombres des arbres branches au vent.
    splendid sky and shades of trees branches in the wind.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Beautiful sky! On the printing - isn't international outsourcing wonderful? Someone here in the US is thanking Gary, but many are complaining about our work being outsourced to Asia. Hope your laptop comes back soon.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I trust that the laptop will be available for a while during the weekend, which I wish you in any case to be nice and (possibly and hopefully) relaxing!

    ReplyDelete
  46. magic is definitely the right word. that blue violet sky looks magical, B!

  47. I gather my remark about a hard drive was prodding a sore point.
    Sounds likethe is some light at the end of the tunnel anyway.
    Great, in fact, gorgeous picture.

  49. Fairy picture.
    Vraiment féérique, I don't know why but it seems less childish in French.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Wonderful how the gold becomes purple as the eye moves up into the sky.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Those colours are a delight! I love winter sunset skies.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Hilarious post! Loved all the added comments on bits and pieces in your life! I would be totally lost without my laptop! I tried it once by forced circumstance! Bad experience!

    And adored your magical Manx sky too!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Hard to stay glum with a sky like that to look at. Glad the maxtor is working again. I've just paid £230 to get my images saved when my maxtor crashed. They are now safely on a western digital a far better drive in my opinion.
    Hope the manx fairies can resolve the laptop problem.

    ReplyDelete
  54. The colours are beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
