New Photos: Ducky Pond

These are from June at Dunnigan Park (again). Yeah, I like the ducky pond 😉

Duck with a broken beak. Do you think he has a lisp? “Afwak! Afwak” – hahahahahahahahahaha!

Beady eye

This goose just looks like an Emo rocker

A discarded feather

Thrice the brinded cat hath mewed, thrice and once the hedgepig whined….

Feathers on the water

This is the snowflake REALLY lit up. You might remember I tried to manip a daylight picture of this with this result – http://www.flickr.com/photos/pandora_6666/5660975700/

Last feather shot

There’s more on my Flickr, as usual.  i think if I posted them all on here people would revolt. There would be riots. Okay, there would be a tiny, five person revolt. But hey, you’d be surprised what five people can do!

New Photos – Ducky Pond Take 2

 

I know. Three new blogs in a row. Time for a heart attack.

Another trip to the ducky pond, as I affectionately call Dunnigan Park.  Yes, I think everything needs nicknamed. However, I am not into really original nicknames, so it’s pretty much what they sound like.

not sure if the image is too purple or if the flowers had a tint to them… probably the first one.

and since I call it the ducky pond – here’s some duckies!

okay, not at the ducky pond. This is the tree across the street on a foggy night….

And that’s all I have for now. Alas, I must take the dog out and head to bed. Fun, fun.

Monkey Island – Collab

(originally from September 2007)

 

One Day on Monkey Island…

Monkey Island floats in the sea,
with flowers golden and palm trees green.
Sandy beaches surround all sides
where oysters lay abed drowsing in drifting tides
Then one day the peace was shattered
as if someone hit it with a silver platter.
A big fat fish came flopping ashore,
and landed at the feet of our monkey, Theodore.
Theo, he looked and scratched his head,
Then he asked the fish, “You;re sure you’re not dead?”
The fish answered haughtily, her voice tight,
“I wanted to go out on the town for a night.
I wanted to dress up in ribbons and pearls
and taken to the bright dance floor for a whirl.”
With a shrug, the monkey, he agreed
And took her back to his house of seaweed.
There he dressed her in ribbons and swags,
but when he got to the shoes he hit a snag.
“I’m sorry,” he said, his voice a quiver.
“But glass slippers just don’t fit on flippers.”
She flicked him with her flippers in disdain
and flopped over to the window pane.
“I’ll just go back to my home – away from the ground
Where Willy the Octopus taps all around.
He knows how to have a good time!”
And with that she was gone, lost to the brine.
Theo, he shook his fist and growled after the fact,
“hey you damn fish! bring my ribbons back!”
