Would you?
Of course you would.

Love a corroding wall.
Hate a corroding country.

New thought: lets augment banging our heads against (beautiful) walls with banging on our elected representatives' doors.

A new wall to bang my head against.

Making a melodramatic tragicomedy with cranberry beans.
(cue the ominous music)

If you listen carefully, you'll hear the sounds of fiendish glee.

I don't know about you but when I visit places, I like to bring back a pebble or a stone.

P.S. I highly recommend this as a gentle, low impact creative exercise. You'll be amazed what you start to focus and fixate on that will impact your larger photographic practice.

Coupla objects and a whole lotta feelings. We're gonna need a bigger memory card.

May your bowl be super;

Your plates, too,

We all have (at least) one junk drawer in our homes; where the random thingamabobs, doohickies and whatnots, not to mention the stray rubber bands, paperclips, old scissors and other stuff gets tossed.
Where you may see a spring cleaning project, I see an hour or two of delight with my camera.

So much fishy stuff going on these days...thought I'd throw in a version that is equally eye rolling...but in a totally delicious way.

On a personal note, I need to be marinated more often.

So many feelings in one stoopid week.

Accosted.
Exhausted.
Disgusted.
I miss being flabbergasted.

Even my flowers are pissed.

I often get to eat truly extraordinary things in my line of work but this...OMG...this is bread made with pumpkin and seaweed filled with uni...this is umami on a whole nother level...this crazy extraordinary revelation might just be an all-time, top 5 "bite."
