What Else?

“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy.”
Albert Einstein 1879-1955

I’m looking for some fruit and a violin.

I'm taking a blogger break. I'll be back in a couple of weeks.

Box of Tricks

“Man, proud man, dressed in a little brief authority, like an angry ape, play such fantastic tricks before high heaven as make the angels weep”
William Shakespeare 1564-1616

This was a tough one. All I could pull out of my box of tricks was a clown, a chicken, a rabbit, and a bunch of balloons. Mouse over the box and, if you are an angel, try not to weep.

This weeks theme for Corner View is "box of tricks". For more tricky boxes, see the blogs below. Thanks to Francesca for hosting, Mlle Paradis for choosing the theme and Jane for getting this whole thing started.

A Blissful Moment

“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you”
Joseph Campbell 1904-1987

This little girl was not content to watch the parade so she marched out and joined it.
Don't worry, her dad was close behind.

Positive Pooh

“Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon”
Winnie the Pooh

Some people worry about rough landings but this colorful balloon is making a smooth, happy return to terra firma in Napa Valley.
