Petal Butterfly with word

Was in the city for a project I have been working on, and came upon this on the ground.  I thought it was a butterfly sticker at first. Looked more closely, and it was a petal from nearby landscaping.  Can't make out the the words, but smiled at the encounter overall.  

 

Mudblup thought it was him

Mudblup saw this cover, and thought it was him.  But some research shows it is not. How can Mudblup and The Thing not be related? Mudblup has been part of my family for decades. Used  in corporate life for a time..held in hand for particular thinking projects -- kind of a "worry doll," but more a thinking doll..the holding in hand thing seemed to help. One time, he went head first hard onto the desk, his head popped off.  I think it was over naming prints -- Too Many Daisies kind of triggered a push back on identifying skirt prints by name we chose. Heady stuff. :) Nicely, his head still sits on there when upright. Another metaphor likely there, but leaving it..for now. 

Dude is having fun

Pun fest: Clowning around. Knocked off his feet. Clowning achievement to have that view.  Deeper. but not that much:  Dust off your shoulders, hopefully soon. Maybe reflecting on all the work and sound you endured recently.
