Endangered Species Video

I don't usually post video material but this is just choice. A photographer documents the trials and tribulations of making a book about endangered American species. Funny and poignant all at the same time. I might just have to buy the book.

Fraternal Twins

Not much to say but here's a photo from my archives. There is a whole row of these twinned homes somewhere on the south side. There is something appealing to the eye about the inexact symmetry.

Fun with Packaging

I think I need to move to Asia.



It comes with a "mobile phone cleaner" too!



Also you really should try these olives from China.



"Ingredients: Fresh fruit, salt, etc."
We tried them. Clearly an acquired taste.

Lichenous

I think this photo sets a certain mood but I couldn't figure out how to caption it. Any suggestions?
A blue green lichen seen in Washington last month.

Mousey Love

 


The back of the card is addressed to Miss Eva Bown, Danville, Ala, R-3-Bot 54. The postmark reads June 13, 1913.
The card is written in pencil and hard to read. It says:
Hello Eva how are you all ok I hope I got home all right I hope to see you soon if I could see you I could tell you a whole lot more than I can right (?) hope to (?) soon By By Dave

I have 4 other cards of this pair. I think they were courting.

Going Nowhere Fast

My brain seems to be going nowhere fast. I'm not processing pictures although I have many and I'm not feeling like posting anything on the blog. I would hate to abandon blogging. It has brought good things and people into my life so I am going to try to make an effort. One thing I am going to resort to is bringing in old material I never got to posting.
The image above is a page I wrote based on a journal prompt. You get to see my handwriting and a self portrait at the same time. I think the list of adjectives is revealing.
