The English Dream

I'm tweeting
this in England!
I typed this
whole thing on
the left side
of the screen.

For some reason I can’t stop thinking about England and fairy tales.

Apples and Oranges

"It's like comparing apples and oranges"
American idiom

Sometimes I have apples for lunch . Sometimes I have oranges. Let's compare.
Sometimes photography is "real". Sometimes it is "fake". Is it better to be a "purist" or a "cheat"? Are answers really better than questions? I'm really getting lost here. Can you find the oranges in the picture below? You can "cheat" and see some real fruit by putting your cursor over an orange if you can find one.

This weeks theme for Corner View is "what's for lunch". Let's see what's cooking in the blogs below. Thanks to Francesca for hosting, Dorte for choosing the theme and Jane for getting this whole thing started.

Discovery

"The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes."
Marcel Proust 1871-1922

Still Nothing

“In the beginning there was nothing. God said, 'Let there be light!' And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better.”
Ellen DeGeneres 1958-

There was light… and shadow…. and lines… and shapes… and nothing.

From the Inside Out

“Smile, breathe and go slowly”
Thich Nhat Hanh 1926-

Looking out a window in Wat Ou Sai Kham in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Chicken Dog

“The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too.”
Samuel Butler 1835-1902

It may look a little foolish but everyone and almost every dog had fun at this year’s Butter and Eggs Day parade in Petaluma.

Recycle the Bicycle

“Trash has given us an appetite for art”
Pauline Kael 1919-2001

This is a trash-can enclosure made from old bicycle parts
that I saw on the streets of Tucson.
