U is for Unicorn

The time came to find a word starting with U for ABC Wednesday, and unicorn immediately came to mind... and so I share with you these magical little metal unicorns used as decoratives at a cabin I stayed in with a close friend one beautiful summer's week on the popular Salt Spring Island in BC.

Salt Spring Island, 2010

PS. Of course, Pat! The Unicorn Song!

    Wonderful choice for this letter U, an unicorn is very poetic!

    Very clever of you, Francisca! I need to start looking for unicorns for next round of ABC Wednesday. :)

    The blurred background adds to the 'reality' of the scene.

    Impressive little creatures there.

    I almost posted a whole merry-go-round of unicorns from Tiberias.

    Takes me back to the days when I'd read stories of unicorns to my daughters. They loved them! :D

    You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese,
    Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
    Some cats and rats and elephants,
    But sure as you're born,
    You're never gonna see a Unicorn.

    When I was trying to come up with my "U's" I didn't even think of the unicorn. How smart of you, and a delightful picture too.

    I like Pat's poem....

    @Pat... How totally idiotic of me not to think of this...That's what I get for posting in the wee hours after being bleary-eyed from working and staring at the monitor all day. The Unicorn Song link is now up! Thanks, Pat!:-D

    Your unicorns are lovely. The Last Unicorn was one of my favourite movies when I was a kid - I need to re-watch it!

    Wondered where you of the magical lens would take us with unicorns. Nicely done. That first photo sings.

    Delightful little unicorn ornaments, lovingly photographed. Thank you so much for letting me know that the comment box wasn't open on the Today's Flowers page Francisca. I hadn't noticed before. I have now put it back.

    They are totally charming! Although I love the colors in the second photo, I really like the composition and the unicorns and unfocused background in the first. That's my favorite. How cool that you found unicorns for the letter "U" :)

    I love the fact that the unicorns have saddles - lots of virgins around, apparently ;-)
    I had quite forgotten the Unicorn song - marvellous:-)
