Raining Jacarandahs

In the list of flowers of longevity  the jacaranda falls to the bottom, but oh what a fall. As part of the Match Box Project I made this small scene with one blossom in mid-air  - well, really swinging on its trapeze of Silko.  I made five flowers, one for this box and four to give away as ephemeral brooches. My friend Sybille tells me there is one German word which means a copy of a thing that lasts slightly longer  than the thing! This somehow makes this tiny project complete.

Floriad's Ferris Wheel Iconographic Shadow

Ferris, parts patterned on a central spindle, shadow nearly not exaggerated by the five o'clock light, proves to be made of sterner stuff than the tulips, a mercy since S and I trusted ourselves to rise above it all in a gondola.

Pitched perfectly, an NAB ATM does Dorothy a deal.

At first sight, I wondered was this clever marketing?  Feeling, yes I know it's close to felling, but I felt nearly like a thief stealing this photograph of the NAB ATM in Mosman, its glossy read booth perfectly pitched to flatten a western witch. What was this?  Strangely most people just ignored it, well after all Toto it's not Kansas.  Any shoe shop worth its salt would hire the clever clogs who has put this slipper into banking.
