Disperse and Delight

                                      

      

As I walked by the lake, the red balloon left the island, and glided across the water. The ducks and the geese squawked and scattered. Then lime balloon entered, the birds remarking once again,  and the red balloon hit the shore on my side...seeming to contemplate the next move.  I called to the kid chasing them on the island to see if they were his, but they were not, so no intervention warrented.  Then the red balloon lifted to the shore and danced across the grass. A third balloon, jade in color, followed, with each ballon loosely tracing the same pattern.  The wind wasn't making them "fly," more like glide and dance...they never really were "airbone."  

The red balloon bounced across the road first, no cars present. It went right on the hill across the road. The lime balloon went higher, and straight up the hill..lodging in a tree. The jade balloon settled in another tree, though lower on the hill, more in the open. 

Several analogies can be made, and the ones I took to heart left me with a smile and a thought of futures. Yes, balloons aren't good for nature, but their journey here was very nice to witness.

Same walk, same mushroom


Ok, the county is 828 square miles, so not huge huge, but still a fine coincidence occured.  We both took a walk on the same exact path one day after each other (without either of us knowing prior), and each took a picture of the same exact mushroom? Yes. And there were lots of mushrooms on that trail! And a lot of paths in this county!

 I took multi mushrooms pictures, the other pair took one picture. (still..quite a concidence mushroom-wise, though calcuable perhaps).   A harvesting gentleman on the trail gave me a porcini identifying lesson, however, I left them for him to take :). Fond memory of a freshly harvested (by a seasoned finder) mushroom feast via houbova polveka in a lovely cottage in a forest clearing of another land.

Wired and ready to shine. Trio of table Lamps..Ceramics





 With no lamp shades let, but all wired.  The white one has a light inside and on top...3 way switch that allows light on top, on bottom, and on both.  Ideally, glass would have some tranparancy, but as melted the glass on ceramics, it is opaque. And, couldn't bend the clay much, as the glass would slide off as it melted..(hence, the "aura" in front part intended/part need. The sides are pure intention, so that could be avenue for tighter/less big "light" escape in larger front section.. Maybe some day I fill figure it out..fused would work, but was trying to do it with the equipment with which I have easier access now.
