Musings

What is perspective?

Wine light

The world is perspective.

Buddhist pantheon?

Eyebrow man

My lovely neighbor took me on a wee expedition this afternoon, in which we visited what I took to be a contemplative garden, Vietnamese Buddhist style. The eyebrows on this fellow went down past his knees. Astounding.

Ear cleaning lesson

I’m guessing this guy has ear-wax buildup or ear-fleas…something dire.

Aokay

However, I’m going to interpret this as a sign that it’s okay that I have no idea what these characters are intended to indicate, or symbolize, or whatever.

I’m an anthropologist in the dark on a sunny day.

(Unintentional) redirection

Window droplets

I saw something that caught my eye in the raindrops on the glass in the foreground juxtaposed with the light in the distant windows. The photo is fun, but different than what I was going for.

Still life x2 and cats x2

Copenhagen of FL

Here’s a version of the Copenhagen mermaid, watched over by a very large conch shell….

Rattan garbage

This I couldn’t quite figure out; I don’t think the chair is quite garbage, maybe the protector of the waste-pro container?

Whopper

I’d like you to meet Whopper. He loves to show off his belly. When he sleeps under the car, it looks like he’s changing the oil.

Molly Mindy cat

Molly and Mindy are chickens. The cat isn’t waiting for them, just enjoying the breeze.

Night and day

Ginkgo night

Ginkgo tree in streetlight.

Ivy sun

Ivy tracks on a sun-face.

Tin…something

Tin chandelier

Somebody had this joke up on a sign that we saw during our FL run recently, and it’s stuck in my head, so now it’s…here.

I met Mr. Right and married him. Then I discovered his middle name was Always.

Preference?

Yucca fiber

Do you prefer the green and living plant?

Dried Araucariaceae bud

Or the dried castoff bud?

The first is some kind of yucca; the second, I think, is in the Araucariaceae family.

Fri, 13th

Sherds in garden

Creative use of glazed potsherds*.

Grass heads

Grass heads….

* The Brits call them shards. They are shards in that shards are broken bits. Sherds, on the other hand, are broken bits of ceramic, i.e., potsherds.

Shoreline fun

Lighthouse in palmettos

Hey, we’re on the Gulf Coast, so of course we saw…a lighthouse!

Limpkin M

And wading birds! Is this a limpkin? I think so…. Watched her/him for some time….

We also saw birds of several colors and configurations (including Snow Birds), two gators, one armadillo (wait, that was yesterday), shrimp and oysters (on our plates)….

Drone beach

But the best shots of the day were from Drone-y/Roney…above this white sand beach with the narrow peninsulas extending out from the beach during low tide…

Drone sunset river

…and this sunset shot. You can see a sliver of the Gulf past the river….

Choicefulness (not a real word)

Door light

First, I thought, oh this geometric light-dark is…dramatic.

Bulbs arising

Then, I thought: new life. And the burgeoning bulbs took center stage in my mental universe. Go flowers! [Too early for bulb-growth…just too darned early—it’s DEcember.]

Turkey not tetrazzini i

Then, I thought: the easy and wise choice is to go with the leftovers-that-don’t-look-like-leftovers. This is not tetrazzini…

The choice is yours…I give you all the options.
