Hounds of Love, St. Paddy's Style



Kate Cambridge was appointed by Queen Elizabeth to present the St. Patrick's Day shamrocks to the regimental mascot of the Irish guards, Conmeal the Wolfhound. 

I love this photo. Kate looks sublime in her emerald colored dress and chocolate brown pillbox hat. Not to be outdone, Conmeal looks regal in his red tunic and stands at attention ever so patiently as Kate attaches the shamrocks to his collar. 

"Hounds of Love" was a Kate Bush from 1985 and one of her best. The songs are very idyllic and in fact, inspired by the Poet Laureate, Alfred Lord Tennyson. Several great videos were also spun by the album including 'Cloudbusting', directed Julian Doyle and co-starred Donald Sutherland. Both the video and song were inspired by the life of psychologist William Reich. 

Considered one of the best albums ever, it is timeless.
