A Matter of Perspective

I can remember a time many, many years ago when my Mum told
me about fairy rings of mushrooms, it seems the fairies would come
out to play at night and in the morning there would be a ring of
mushrooms growing around their playground.... Yeah Mum... right!
Click on photos to enlarge them.

Well look what greeted me this morning when I toddled out the front
door, maybe not quite
a full circle, but certainly clear evidence that the
fairies had been for a visit last night.
This was my choice of perspective for the photo when I first saw the
mushrooms, looking down on them from the front verandah. (porch)

But then I went down the steps and took this photo from ground level,
you can probably see why I changed my mind and now prefer this shot...
Yes you're right... it captures fully my love of gardening!!

When I first saw these frogs lounging on the side of a rock pool at
Montville, I thought first of you Judy, then that this would be a very
nice photo with the white planters in the background.

Almost as an afterthought I took this one from below the frogs and
with the flowers in the background and a slightly more natural
foreground this shot is my favourite.

I bought the guitar player from a little shop at Montville as a memento
of our visit just a couple of days earlier to the Gympie Muster.
I just love the form of this little guy, he's only about 6 inches high.

However from a different perspective you can clearly see his nuts...
err ... sorry, he's nuts, but no matter how he is put together I love
him anyway.

Profile codes.

As I said it's all a matter of perspective.

Here you go, all the "codes" for the profiles...just what we need to
know when browsing the matchmaker columns!

Fire Fighting In Jamacia.


A Jamaican fireman came home from work one day and said to his wife,
"Ya now sumptin' womon, we have a wonderful new system at de fire
station...

Bell 1 rings - we put on our jackets.

Bell 2 rings - we slide down de pole.

Bell 3 rings - we jump on de engine and we's ready to go.


"From now on womon, when I say, 'Bell one' I want you to strip naked.

When I say, 'Bell two' you jump on de bed.

When I say, 'Bell three' we's gonna mek love all tru de night girl."


The next night, he came home and shouted,

"Bell One" and the wife stripped naked!

"Bell Two" and she jumped on the bed!

"Bell Three" and they started to make love!


After a few minutes, the wife yelled out,


"Bell Four"


"WOMON ... What de hell is Bell Four'?" he asked.


She replied,


"ROLL OUT MORE HOSE, MON, YOU AIN'T NOWHERE NEAR DE FIRE!!"

aah Peter, once again, I love your things, and your perspective. It's no wonder we share a 'favourite' movie.

Curios though, in the dating chats, which way are you looking?
which of these descriptions would you use in your ad?

:-)

Peter, I LOVE the frogs (second photo) and I am sorry it took me so long to get here to see them. I worked all day Thurs.,Fri., and today and slept in my chair all evening...LOL. Anyway, the frogs are posed wonderfully!!

Kelvin said...

Hello from across the ditch !!! Have you "kissed" the frog yet ? I would kiss the one with "hand on heart" - she's female !!!
As for "bell 4" - well best left unsaid........!!!

All my "old" blogs have been changed over to Blogger-Beta. Simple as - I followed what they told me to do and they said they would email me. It was all over & done with in 2 minutes - even used the same email yahoo address I had set up for the new beta blogs I created. They only made one mistake - made me 250 years old !!! (hehe) I suppose they saw my photo.

Cliff said...

You're right on with this one Peter. Maybe you can talk one of those Fairies into living with you.
