A Frog Prince and Daffoidil Ladies

Thanks to Tammy for the photos; she should consider having these matted, framed, and placed on a wall where her family and friends can see them. They speak Spring. I did very little editing to these shots, but I suggest that with the crop I did to the daffodils, the photo be flipped horizontally; in this case and for me, it enhances the compositional flow: left-to-right and top-to-bottom. We should read photos like we read the page of a book. Actually it is a matter of subjective taste.

Maggie is home from her three-week tour of China; Welcome back, my friend.

A sleeping pill and nearly 12 hours sleep, along with a drearily-overcast sky and half-closed window shades has me seeing good enough to write this; the past two days were hell without the heat. I’m so grouchy when my eyes are misbehavin’ so that I cannot stand to be around myself; Carolyn has almost learned to stay as far away as she can. My Jekyll and Hyde alter consciences struggle at the edge of a dark abyss; so far, Jekyll has won out but I know Hyde becomes stronger because the struggles last longer and at times Jekyll wants to step into the bottomless darkness as he flips a bird at Hyde. Yep, I’m a certified, 24-karat, card carrying nut case.

I need a Sammy fix.

While rowing my boat through Alice Springs
From a far shore I heard reindeer sing
A sound so melancholy I covered my ears
My heart wasn’t ready for Christmas jeers

Have a cheery Wednesday!
