The Sky Within
THE FULL MOON at my kitchen window was a tiny orb glowing behind dangling trinkets. Later, the morning sun cast a different light onto my worktable. Photos alone did not express the compelling contrasting effects of the sun and moon so I added a few words as well:

On Every Path, A Puddle
EVERY PATH HAS ITS PUDDLE is an English Proverb that sounds a little ominous. It suggests life is never smooth and that difficulties wait around every corner. Life teaches us that when "puddle troubles" appear it is mostly about how we approach the situation. Splashing through a puddle, tip toeing around the edges, jumping over OR floating in the puddle are all options that depend on state of mind and depth of the problem. A puddle is subject to perception and its container. There are useful puddles such as the one in my backyard birdbath (above) as well as annoying puddles that a loveable puppy can make.
There are also hidden puddles under bridges where wildlife and lily pads grow ... like the ones I did not manage to capture while visiting the Japanese Memorial Garden on Mayne Island in B.C.
There are huge puddles that carry big B.C. Ferries.
And there are tiny puddle houses where pet fish (like our now deceased Betta) contentedly blow bubbles.
There is the fictional Puddle who feels real and gives my imagination wings.
Often, the puddles we see before us are mere illusions just as water on the road ahead can be a mirage appearing to mirror fleeting clouds in blue skies.

If I Were A Boat ...

IF I WERE A BOAT I would love to float in Vancouver, BC, waters. This photo I took a while ago got me wondering what anchoring at the False Creek area of the city requires. If I were lucky enough to possess a vessel that I needed to dock, I would likely find it more complicated than parking my car at a meter. The rules might be somewhat similar but probably take the wind right out of my sails. The people in the high rise apartments towering over the bobbing boats must be adrift with dreamy views of the harbor. (Click on photo to enlarge image.)
