4/20

so, i've started to write about this a number of times,
both here and on animus,
but now it's just too in my face to ignore:
the synchronicities that happen between my posts each day AND 1 year ago.

i walked by this tree today
and i remembered this image
and i was going to shoot it
and I didn't
and that violates my #1 art rule:
"if it comes in to your head you have to do it"

everyone needs a little wake-up call now and then.


oh
and this is sail boat lake,
where i spent so much time as a child
(the alice in wonderland statue is at the north end.)
now all the boatsare motorized
and now the boat owners are all girls

(well, maybe not all, but a lot)
and that's NOT how it was back then;
my younger brother had the boat,
not me
and it wasn't remote control...
you stuck it in the water and the wind took it
and you ran around the "pond" to retrieve it when it got close enough to an edge
the old guys had big yachts & schooners
and long poles with hooks to pull them in
