All In the Details


My floral-designer sister is coming for a visit tomorrow along with my mother, and she will be arranging the flowers for Eustacia's grad party. One of the things she'll be using for a "vase" is a miniature watermelon with colorful flowers sticking artfully from carefully placed carvings.

With that in mind, guess what this picture is cropped from? Click on it for the full image.

BAH! I could have sworn that was some sort of scary sock monkey close up. I'm still confused but delighted by the full shot. :) A very whimsical fruiting indeed!

You think I'm strange, Dive? hee hee. I didn't make this thing myself. It was part of a display on the cruise we took at New Years.

He really was a masterful storyteller, even when rambling on about the poorly designed door knobs in Florence or in describing the Countess Massiglia, who he described as a "pestiferous character." About her, he said, “She is excitable, malicious, malignant, vengeful, unforgiving, selfish, stingy, avaricious, coarse, vulgar, profane, obscene, a furious blusterer on the outside and at heart a coward.” And I laughed out loud.
