My oldest son was gifted a "swim with the fishes" at the Florida Aquarium...by his daughter (who I hope also went swimming there, but didn't post a photo!)
A bored mind can be the canvas upon which innovation is painted, and the womb in which novelty is nourished
The great goddess form Çatal höyük, 6000 BC, sitting on a throne flanked by two felines. She is later known as Matar Kubileya, Kubaba or Cybele. Found at Çatal höyük, 45 kilometers south of modern Konya, Turkey
Finally found my google info so I can post again.
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying all your photos and posts. Especially today's dragons. Very happy to see you still have one of yours living with you.
Toes crossed you are enjoying 'tween week'
Loved your cup on FB this morning. Dragons are a good thing, eh?
DeleteSue calls it the relaxing side of Christmas, but we’re sick and not enjoying ourselves a whole lot.
ReplyDeleteNo fun to be sick...it just gives you an idea how much better being well can be! Get well soon!
Delete...I'm enjoying the quiet!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is a nice pause from daily activities, especially the extra ones of the holiday season!
DeleteI didn't know you could swim with fishes at aquariums. I wonder if ours does that? That was a great gift.
ReplyDeleteI was over the moon when I heard about this gift, and so glad he was able to take a photo. They were invited to bring waterproof cameras...but he didn't have one. Don't know who took the underwater shots for him.
DeleteSomehow it just seems wrong to swim in an aquarium although I'm not sure why. I'm sure it's a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
ReplyDeleteLove the snow dragon.
Yes , the public sort of doesn’t expect to see my son swimming there…the few times I saw people in the tanks they were working, feeding, or cleaning - and it was part of a show with microphones even!
DeleteIt's a strange interlude between Christmas and New Year, I always feel restless. I like your dragons, though the snow dragon will melt itself with its breath, surely?
ReplyDeleteHaha, snow dragons obviously must have dry ice breath!
DeleteI'm a fan of the Goddess!
ReplyDeleteI’ve loved her ever since she was found…and they have stopped saying she’s giving birth at least!
DeleteThe 'tween week has been quiet for us with no activities or events or road trips. We spent Christmas Eve treating a fellow resident to dinner here at home and Christmas Day and New Year's Eve & Day will be spent together at home. The entertaining will be Dec 30 when we've invited a few fellow residents to our apt for wine, cheese, charcuterie and friendship.
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds like a good balance of time and guests!
DeleteAdmiring your pottery on the shelf!
ReplyDeleteThe ones with painted leaves are by my friend Cathy Babula.
DeleteSuch a strange time, the days between Christmas and New Year's.
ReplyDeleteIt's always such an odd few days. Happy New Year!
