Balls of the season

Globes that fill our summer's end with a great taste and wonderful pastime. The tomato and baseball playoffs are the big payoffs for cultivating the fields and gardens. This photo was taken in West Dover Vermont by a late bloomin gardner but a long time fan of the ball and bat. Very nice tribute Eddie.

I gotta love this photo

Being a photographer and tender to a flock of laying hens this photo accompanying a NYTIMES article about keeping chickens in other than rural settings peaked my interest. The practical, agricultural hobby described in the attached story has been on the rise in urban communities. Seen in backyard alleys, on rooftops, basements and on ships docked in harbors it has become a practice in unusual urban locales. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/19/dining/19yard.html?ref=dining
That being said this image is filled with symbolism, almost dreamlike in its composition with a young woman holding a basket of eggs wearing overalls, a ballcap backwards and Chesire cat smile. It is open to so many diverse interpretations some them reflections of the viewers inner mirror but all of them fully appreciative of the strange and wonderful world around us.

I Can't Believe she said that!

YOKO ONO will never use an environmentally friendly car - because they are not as comfortable as her Bentley. The wife of late Beatle John Lennon has snubbed the Hybrid car - which is popular with Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz and Leonardo Di Caprio for its low pollution levels - in favour of travelling in luxury. She says, "Can someone make Hybrid cars as comfortable as a Bentley, please?"

It is interesting how in just a few decades someone's political orientation can do an about face. I would be curious in learning how this evolution transpired. I suppose in Yoko's case the adage holds true:" If you are not a liberal when you are young, you have no heart. If you are a liberal when you are old, you have no brain. OH YOKO!
