Ingratitude

The more I know people, the better I like animals. Whoever wrote that one, he was reading my mind.

Never send a man in to do a donkey’s job

  “And then one time I ate some rotten berries. Man, there were some strong gases seepin’ outta my butt that day!”

Thursday’s Special: Silver Lining

In the middle of the yard of an anonymous house surrounded by ancient columns stands a tree, the subject of my take on the  Sunday post challenge….

SUNDAY POST: People (are strange)

I entitled the below photo “A watchful eye lurking for a giving hand at the entrance of a church ….“ It took me many years to get rid of the habbit of emptying my pockets every time I saw a beggar. It is symptomatic that they are always strategically located at the entrance of churches, taking advantage of the “faithfull“ in despair to redeem…

Weekly Photo Challenge: FREE SPIRIT

“Just living is not enough,” said the butterfly, “one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.” ~Hans Christian Andersen While I was chasing butterflies in the mountains, I remembered this song from the French movie Le Papillon (2002). Give it a listen
