Thanks, and I'd have love to have seen your witty comment. I decided on further reflection that my initial title "Thanksgiving leftover" was just too obscure. But these HAVE been left (over) in this spot for at least two summers!

Glad to hear the toothache is gone. Wonderful "essence of kitten".

Wonderful. Well seen.

I love the contrails. They suggest there is some zinc in the staples, which when it washes down the wall prevents mold!

Beautiful. I love how the plant and flowers frame the right side and bottom of the image for us, with beguiling curves and textures, and even a bit of back-lighting. The bee is surrounded by bokeh but manages not to interfere with our enjoyment of it.

In the thumbnail, it almost looked as if Clooney was evaporating in a cloud of steam. Magnificent capture of his eyes.

Love this, squares within squares, with a medley of textures and colors. Well seen.

Wait a minute ... that's unreal (the something else you mentioned, that is). How much of it is due to the hand of man? Fascinating capture. Love the tones.

ETA: Congratulations. I got so carried away by what I was seeing that I forgot to say that !!

Great catch, so much to enjoy ... the leading line provided by the railing, reinforced by the direction each woman is facing; the other railing jutting in to anchor the lower right area; the textures; the grayness of what appears seems to be an approaching rain storm; then the bare feet and the flip flops lined up below which some reason I find rather endearing!

On a completely different topic this caused me to look at a map to see how close Ballarat is to the coast, and where Torquay is, since for me that name is associated with Devon, England. That led me to the realization that I've never appreciated that Melbourne is located on a large bay. Thanks for the incentive to refresh my geography!

Great perspective, and anchored to each corner. But it's the birds, silhouetted at that, that make it!
