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.

There Was Something In The Air That Day!

It was a clear and beautiful day, not windy. There were no stars, no clouds, no rain. Just placid and gorgeous. Mystical. Calming. Mesmerizing. The sun was bright and shining. The moon gazing from a far.

There it was, popping out of nowhere. A mechanical bird, majestically flashing its wings with a decor of a master and agility of a gymnast, flying in curvatures, leaving its mark on the wall, skillfully carving its subject.

I had no idea what it was up to?! What was it diligently crafting?! Nothing but a puzzle of enormous proportion. Would you marry me? Please try Butter & Butter latest flowers. National Margarita Day, free margaritas to all. Nope!

I stood quietly. Gazing. Waiting patiently in the sun, snapping pictures. And, there…

Can You See Me Now?

IMG_0344See if you can capture it? I startled a bit when I first heard noises coming from in between the trees. I had no idea what it was and as I was reading to run when I heard my friend. “Ohhh isn’t he cute? I wish I could take him home!” There he was, quietly relaxing amongst the pumpkin. “No, you won’t”, said her husband.

Can you spot it? Can you tell us what it is? Oh yeah, the picture is kinda “old”, like in November, Thanksgiving, pumpkin time.
