Balloon Flower (red)

Telling tales from around the world

Balloon Flower (red)

The thing I love about Jeff Koons is that he can always make me smile, even when I didn’t think it was possible. It’s his work (not mine), but it seemed like the right thing to put up today.

Made me chuckle. I want to put my face in the reflection and take my picture there.
Have a bright day today

- Thanks! Hey! I thought you were off to Alaska this week?!?
  
  This installation is about half a mile from where the twin towers stood in Manhattan. It is exactly where it is needed most.

- I just love Jeff Koons’ apparent irreverence. And how he just annoys the hell out of some people.

It’s still 2013

I'm part of Post A Day 2013

Thirteen used to be my lucky lucky number, ever since I was 7 and put a dime on the wheel at a church bazaar and it won - and I walked away with a cool $1.30 which was a considerable amount when you think a Nestlé's Crunch Bar cost five cents.

But I've got to rethink it... this year's been crap - troubles, illness, heartbreak... I'm half thinking those half-crazed Mayans might have been half right - though I don't half know about what.

Taking suggestions for sure-fire cures for angst, ennui, hospital stays, strict diets and other people. And any other good advice is always welcome.

Didn't get the palomino I was hoping for in 2012, definitely no Nestle's Crunch in 2013. What do I want from this year??? From the OTHER half of this year...

Short fiction

These days it's all about the Photopo, but I also write fiction. You can find some of my short stories here.

Photopo

One photo every day (well, almost every day) taken to a different dimension, funny, poignant, sad, hopefully clever... Observations about living in this world and pondering the possibilities of others. To view the archive, click here.

Miscellania

If I were an island, I should lay in wait until a kind bird came and sat upon me to keep me company. And if a shipwrecked sailor drifted upon my shore I would be in heaven.

Do you feel like an island? Or like a sailor? Maybe it depends on the day or the time of day or the island or the sailor. I'd rather be a bird. Would I rather sit on the island? Or on the sailor sitting on the island? And what of the water? Surely the water would want to have a say in all of this. The water would probably insist.

Appease the water, bird, island and sailor, dazzle it with trinkets and pretty words.
