as fall is getting darker and colder memories like these warm my soul. almost a year ago by now, still in fond memory also for the two little queens.
(soundtrack fittingly enough; billy ocean – caribbean queen, which in europe was released as “european queen”)
second last theme for the “sommarfoto” group over at flickr was fear, and all the flowers in the garden do fear Orca – the killer snail!
this sunday’s theme for “sommarfoto” is abandoned, and when i did this shot it made me think of how cruel we can be to each other as children. the group and the scapegoat. i only wanna be with you.
Professor Tolkien was late this morning, he had spent another late night troubled over his book. He was stuck on how he would get Frodo and Sam into Mordor. “How”, he sighed. The other week he got the idea of a tunnel, long forgotten, that led into the darklands of Mordor, but he realised it could not just be forgotten, Sauron would know about it and there needed to be something that made Sauron feel confident to leave as it was. He just couldn’t understand what it should be with the tunnel, something that with a bit of elvish power and luck Frodo and Sam would be able to pass. He skipped breakfast, he had to rush for his office at the university. On his way through the garden he stopped to pick an apple so at least he had something. Doing so he saw a strange little spider on a leaf, he had never seen something like this one. “Good morning little monster”, he greeted the spider, slowing his words as he said “monster”, as a parallel thought had started. He again looked at the spider and said to himself; “I’ll make you big, I’ll make you huge – you’ll be shelob the great”. An ancient creature of malice dwelling in the Torech Ungol who would eat anything who came into the tunnel. Sauron would of course know of her, he had sung her when he was still Melchior. Professor Tolkien took a bite of the apple, started to hum and went to office. A good day indeed it was, and then he noticed. It wasn’t even raining.
this week’s “sommarfoto” challenge was close-up, and when i found an european hornet in our living room my first weapon was my camera… after reading more about them (vespa crabro) on wikipedia i was less afraid than initially, it’s pretty big! but i now know why they are less aggressive and normally flee – they are ashamed over their dandruff 😉
this sunday’s theme in “sommarfoto” is mirrors.
You know i`ll change
If change is what you require
Your every wish
Your every dream, hope, desire
Here comes the mirror man
Says he’s a people fan
Here comes the mirror man
the weekly “fotosöndag” challenge is on summer break and in it’s place a summer photo challenge group has been started. first theme is health and my contribution is the fact that i realized that not only do we have 2 grapevine in our garden, we actually get grapes. in sweden! and as everyone knows the product from grapes is healthy if consumed with moderation. 🙂
