Deja Moo......

Meeting cows in the woods. A real surprise!
Not what we were expecting to encounter.
And not exactly a bear. Ursine's aren't the same family.
Still, almost a trilogy.
Lions and tigers and cows. Oh my!!!
Recall Lions in the grass from last May?
And Tigers in the brush last month?
Now cows in the woods!!!. Our own yellow brick road.

Tigers in the brush......

Lily orange surprises. In hard to reach places.
Wild, blooming, and never easy to catch.
Now the trilogy is almost complete.
Remember 'Lions in the grass' from last May?
Now all we need are bears.
Then we'll have our yellow brick road.

Rosebud.....

She asked, "If you could have found out
what Rosebud meant, I bet that would have
explained everything"
Thompson replied, "No, I don't think so; no.
Mr. Kane was a man who got everything he
wanted and then lost it. Maybe Rosebud was
something he couldn't get, or something he lost.
Anyway, it wouldn't have explained anything...
I don't think any word can explain a man's life.
No, I guess Rosebud is just a...
piece in a jigsaw puzzle... a missing piece.

The view from (just north of) Bayonne.....

Lower Manhattan, from just north of Bayonne, NJ.
Mid-summer, 2008.
A little hazy & hot but comfortable.
Almost to Battery Park
Liberty in the far distance.
People everywhere.
Lots of cats, too

Bayonne.........

Yes, she's really in New Jersey
Sometimes that's overlooked
Visible, always there.
One can see a lot from Bayonne.
Not exactly this view.
One can go north'ish,
beyond north, north-east Bayonne.
and then take Artistic Liberty
(see more from the City of Bayonne here)

Summer flowers......

The colors of summer. Hot colors in the sunlight.
Awash in the green back-ground cover, and
still rising tall, reaching to stand out, to almost shout.
To some, just weeds in the grass.
To another bug, their favorite flower.

Finding the Black Pearl...

Arrrgh!!!! We searched high & low,
but carefully, knowing she was cursed.
At least the stories said she was cursed.
Yet we were not afraid when we found her, dockside.
We stood still, gathering up the strength to board.
And couldn't help but think, she should have been much larger.
But this has to be the 'Black Pearl', it says so, right there
in plain sight.......and where are those raucous buccaneers hiding???
(don't get to use words like 'raucous' that often)
