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.

Stillness

A Blissful Moment

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

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

On My Wall

“The fall of a leaf is a whisper to the living”
Russian Proverb

This is a leaf mask that I smuggled out of Italy to give to my wife for Christmas a few years back. It's now hanging on the wall of our computer room/office/guest bed room. I added some texture by sandwiching in a photo of a wall of a local winery.

This weeks theme for Corner View is "on my wall". Check out what's on some other walls in the blogs below. Thanks to Francesca for hosting, Elsa for choosing the theme and Jane for getting this whole thing started.
