Lookouts

It’s been at least a month since I posted an image of a monkey – way past due… I love the determined and utterly serious faces of these two cotton top tamarin monkeys on the watch…

Love the textures and colors in this one. Do they have a natural Mohawk “do?” It was nice enough in the Dakotas on Saturday we went to the zoo! The primates were in for the winter but the Bison (Buffalo), burros and Sandhill cranes and some of the big cats greeted us Lovely sunny day to wander the Bramble Park Zoo. It’s fun just to say the name.

- I assure you that I did NOT arrive with comb and hairspray in hand to get them all coifed up for their photo!!!
  
  I love the zoo! Whilst I try to take as many of my animal photos as possible in their natural habitat, even I have not been everywhere in this world… Zoos these days are such pleasant, natural (ish) environments for the animals – I have got some amazing shots there, that no one would guess are in the zoo… Of course, one must show up at the right time of day – or the animals will be sleeping or hiding… I might be due for another visit soon!

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.
