Randomly added thoughts and ruminations,
whenever I come across them
BUT FIRST: Some advice to get you off to a good start:
Live Life, Feel Love, Give Hugs, and Laff Lots !!!
Work like you don't need the money
Love like you've never been hurt
Dance as if no one's looking
Always stay a step ahead of the storm -
and
If life gives you lemons, make lemonade, and call a friend.
And now, let's ruminate
I've always liked ruminating...
The picture was taken by a Swiss friend, on a Canadian farm.
I had just finished photographing this newborn calf in 1972,
and sat down with it for a bit (while its mom inspected my bright red camera bag).
It was autumn, and later that day we made some honey...
Ready? here we go!

I'm calling this image "Bird Music".
The desert doves share a palo verde branch with a pyroloxia
(related to the red cardinal),
soaking up the first rays of sunshine in the still cool morning.
Some concerns about my second language:
¿ Why is it that no word in the English language rhymes with
month, orange, silver, or purple?
(I'm going to work on finding a rhyme, want to help?)
SUCCESS!!
HERE is an original poem with a first fabulous and funny rhyme for PURPLE!!
sent in by Edwin P. Berlin, Jr.
who said:
I wrote this in the style of Ogden Nash, but it's really mine.
> > Colorfulishness
> > When drinking grape sodas to the bottom,
> > If the taste or the color so purple,
> > Doesn't delight you while you've got 'em,
> > Then maybe the slurp'll.
Quite a daring rhyme, isn't it?
;-))
Ed also said he did hear someone try to rhyme orange with door hinge,
but it wasn't quite right.
And here I have the beginning of a limerick:
There was a young singer named Milva,
who who was very partial to silver.
Only silver would do,
from her hair to her shoe...
WHO CAN FINISH IT??
