Fresh Eyes

I have long been aware I would be an unreliable witness. I don't notice anything. I can't remember what I did yesterday, let alone six weeks ago. I can't remember what people are wearing when I scan a crowd looking for them...I even sometimes remember them in what they wore a few days ago, rather than what they wore this morning...(This has always been the case, not a new sign of deterioration)

So it was little surprise when I said to my friend on our morning walk "Are these new? Someone's been busy" and she politely (though I'm guessing a little incredulously) said "Er, I think they've been there for awhile". I'm guessing the 22 in the signature means it's been there for 2 years....opps.

Lovely work either way....

And the pelican looked cute all fluffed up by the wind so I'll sign off with him.

  3. I have the same problem. Well sometimes mean. But it is not a problem as long as I think it's no problem

  8. Beautiful murals, lovely details and images. I love pelicans. I sure wish they flew up north, but I have to fly south to see them.
