Daffadown Dilly

I came upon this beauty in our daffodil room

I decided to take a walk-a-bout with a camera (a cam-a-bout) in our living room this morning and came upon this fine yellow fellow. Some folks used to call this a daffadown dilly but Kit just calls it a daffodil.

Narcissus loves to look at itself in the mirrors

Once we learned that their nickname is Narcissus, we put a mirror next to it and it started to thrive.

Fish Tale

I was doing a walk-a-bout in the local mall this weekend and came upon an aquarium. Everything about watching fish swim around in a big tank of water is so peaceful. I still don't quite understand how they can breathe underwater. Thank goodness for that big bubble machine installed by the aquarist. That white fish really seemed to be looking intently at his reflection. Maybe he wants to start changing the world by first changing himself. Heck, it's already working. He (or she) is bringing some peace to the world through this little fish tale.

When you're walking around, with a Canon A540, looking for an interesting picture waiting to be taken, it's hard to pass up reflections.

If you were thinking

that these front yard flowers

are reflecting

in the passenger-side rear window

of a 1989 Honda Civic Hatchback

you would have been correct.

I could have just said

that the back of my car

was full of fresh flowers

but that would have been

misleading.

Reflections

If you were going to start collecting something, what would it be? What's that one thing that might get you to scout out garage sales? I recently decided to act on a previous decision to start a collection of mirrors. Mirrors are very Zen. They reflect whatever is before them, without changing their nature. The first addition to My Mirror Collection is not the mirror pictured, but rather a different mirror, but a mirror nonetheless. It cost $5 but it's worth more than that to me. Every adventure begins with a first step.
