This week the theme 'Aquariums' was chosen by 'Moi', E Stelling...
What was I thinking when I suggested this topic? It is winter, and all the water around me is frozen!
In thinking that it still could be fun to see what you other photographers come up with, I realized whom ever takes over the list tasks, should make a calendar and see what falls on what month, as to avoid disasters like mine in the middle of this blizzard reality the mid-west, Texas, Arkansas, north east, and I am sure there are some I have not mentioned. At least any topics that involve going out side or traveling in bad weather.
This was pulled out of my archives...taken off the east coast not too far from home on a boat trip a few years ago...geezzz did I just explain that? duh!
Please tell me there are pet shops in your area, and that you do talk to the fish, turtles, and everything else in that store! I thought so...but most of you know

I ring the dinner bell
you have
already arrived
entranced
by wonderful smells
Don't forget your greens!
I am so guilty of my mind wandering to the kitchen, thinking of ingredients that would make a unique dish...
There are all kinds of bacteria in water, a mini aquarium of sorts, but we need a microscope to see them, so use your imagination...
How about a cup of what I call open mic 'Aquarium Tea', or Jasmine flower bulb tea to relax you...
Well here is my phone app that gives you the fish bowl view of my open mic world- yes, the guy is wearing a cow costume, singing a spoof of 'Wild Thing' as the audience sings 'Mooooove off the stag'... I so 'milked' that today tweeting my 'Wild Plate' Recipe article...
I still like to stroll Princeton after Wednesday night open mic at the A&B, and this delish orange bag still waits for moi, in its fashion plate window aquarium... I figure one day when I am lost, wandering the streets because my memory is long gone, this might save my life, because the zip code will at least get me closer to home. I bet the other side says 'E Stelling'. Wishful thinking, not to mention I am not sure I want to see the price tag; it is in a Princeton shop!
While out to dinner at a new (how on earth in this economy can this be) posh sushi eatery I noticed these cute little aquarium coffee tables in the lobby.
The minute I began shooting the little Koi, they head straight for me begging for food. I am not sure, but could it be the restaurant are fattening them up for a dinner special.
Oh, now out of guilt I might have to hijack them along with Snippy (I had pet turtles as a kid- Snippy & Snappy, they were box turtles) above and start an aquarium rescue, and hang up my chef hat and throw down my blades, ummm knives.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my longing for my six grade stage building, entertainment, and screen writing schemes. Vernon Stiez would be so proud! (he and I created puppets and stages in six grade together, we lived in our own little 'silly' aquarium)
