“Oh my God, I love your bug. Can I take a picture?”
“Oh Yeah no problem!”
“How long do you have it?”
“For a long time. She actually appeared in various commercials for Red Bull, Sagres, have been on festivals… she is my baby.”
“Cool, I love it.”
“Yeah, she is a beauty, isn’t she?”
“I used to test VW websites.”
“Oh yeah, so you know a lot about it. ”
“Well, that was a few years ago. Good luck!”
“Ok, thank you!”

A Bud’s Life

20130525_101503I was minding my business the other day while jogging, when I came in across an amazing sea of stained snowy dots on the ground. It resembled rice or some kind of nut under these beautifully carved trees. It did not take a genius to register that the tree was the perpetrator but I don’t recall seeing them around the hood before or did I? I don’t know if I should call them flowers or just buds or what’s up. Whatever it was, it peeked my interest and I zeroed in. I went for the kill with my brilliant GalaxySIII smartphone camera – would love to kiss the brain behind these gadgets, they just make my day. Get a little closer. Enjoy the interesting pictures.
