Discovering Beauty in Everyday Life

Although this picture could be considered self-evident, the question remains:  Self-evident of what? Nervous crane obsessively moving mouthfuls of trash from one pile to another. A juxtaposition of this upon that. Greenish water barely reflecting a rusty barge and a broken wall Woman in sailboat on an outing from the Gowanus Yacht Club. All of the above. Stay Tuned....     Have a day filled with exotica and flowers

Happy Hearafter!  (Just in case one forgets that gold doesn't buy happiness)

Remember those nights so black the stars come right down to the horizon,  Nights drugged with the smell of evergreen,  A grey wolf howling in the distance. Yes, there’s a campfire and a #10 tin can with a hole cut out for ventilation,  and a pile of new twigs snapped from under the low pine boughs where the rain doesn’t soak though to the core. Green sticks whittled from the mountain willows, Embers toasting marshmallows. Not too close, now. Watch it! Don’t touch it. Blow it out! Charcoal bubbling and broken by molten inside cream.  We wake up in a blue-white sunrise full of birds and dew and mountain dandelion, drinking cold water from the rocky  creek, smelling the fresh stream splashing and breaking in the early sun.  

Sometimes, if you're Orange, it's just seems like it's time to stand out.

Today, it was pouring rain. With little to do in the evening, I strolled outside and snapped a random shot of TreeBed #1: Low and behold, it appeared there was a small, pale ovoid  growth in the lower left. I quickly zoomed over and took a closer look... My oh my!

Pulsing time, capricious and raggedy, thumping its way through a season of moons and the high water marks of yesterday. Gone! Do not plunge after that careless toss of a carefree moment into the galactic eddy, bumping and churning through each forgotten year, spinning at 3 or 4 thousand miles a second.

Both Robino and Squiva are blotchy for some reason. Maybe the humidity?  The Heat?   Robino (being very high strung and anxious) agreed to this photo regardless, but Squiva!  Squiva came right up to me for a change, but the coat is not doing well.  It is healing, but of course Squiva couldn't bear to appear without everything in total array.  We expect it  to be all better in a month or so.
