'Do you realise That you have the most beautiful face? Do you realise We're floating in space? Do you realise That happiness makes you cry? Do you realise That everyone you know some day will die?
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes Let them know you realise That life goes fast It's hard to make the good things last You realise the sun don't go down It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round' - The Flaming Lips...
-- Dedicated to my mum. I hope you're in a better place now.
This photo is part of a series I took on (actually, slightly away from) the shores of Lake Alexandrina, about a ninety-minute drive from my place here in South Australia. As with the rest, I used a variety of filters and gum boots (for me feet) to get what you see here. No seals or polar bears were harmed during this photo shoot. However, there was plenty of caffeine that never saw the light of day again.
Help yourself to the blue cheese, but stay away from the green one.
Very beautiful!

It is indeed most BYOOOTEEFUL!! Worth putting on the rubbers, dude. But I'm thinking unless you had sweated out the caffeine, it still found the light of day... sorry, couldn't resist... ;-)
None of my business category: Did your Mum pass away recently Sash? Or is this an anniversary of such? Either way... my heart is out to you, my friend.
