<br />
This sculpture mounted on a limestone plaque makes a convenient mount for the bandolier of bullets, for the contrast it creates.<br />
Similar to guns & roses.<br />
<br />
The two were never juxtaposed like this till recently.<br />
I was showing the bandolier to a friend, & just hung it there for convenience at the time, but I`ve grown to like the theme it evokes.

Friends are fragile & precious too<br />
Their smiles or tears are just for you<br />
Keeping them, demands real class<br />
They are as precious as Tiffany glassKnuckleheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04733105237141682139noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55892249698893833.post-10762355554794428262012-02-01T07:11:00.000-08:002012-02-01T07:19:16.862-08:00Chester, Go Home!<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/37knucklehead/6801555349/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7019/6801555349_c21d32de1a_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt=" GO HOME CHESTER DSCN2512" /></a><div><br /></div><div>This is Chester, our street, pig.</div><div>He`s been here for 15 years, & belongs to an old friend of mine.</div><div>Lately, Chester has been getting out more often.</div><div>In this image, I`m getting him to skedaddle back home.</div><div>Just the other day, two police cruisers turned down my street just ahead of me.</div><div>They slowed down & one made a u-turn & parked while the second one pulled over & parked on the right, opposite each other.</div><div>I stopped between them & asked them if they were looking for a pig.</div><div>They were quite surprised, since indeed they had gotten a report of a black boar wandering down the street.</div><div>I schooled them on the who, what, where & when of Chester & we all had a laugh.</div>Knuckleheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04733105237141682139noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55892249698893833.post-76613719227489262972012-01-27T22:10:00.000-08:002012-01-27T22:13:57.326-08:00Cross Canyon View<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/37knucklehead/6531577941/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7142/6531577941_985cb4deba.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="DSCN1840" /></a><div>A bit of what home is;

the first step, wondering what to do, or at least that`s what we thought her expression meant.<br />So now Teri has a mission.<br />She`s made a little "mouse house" for TOOTSIE to figure out what life is all about.<br />I figure the little mouse is very recently weaned & got separated from it`s mother.<br />I think if it survives the night, it will be well on it`s way to a bright future.<br

paradise all over again.<br />I`m hoping to take 4/5 months off to spend at the beach.Knuckleheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04733105237141682139noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55892249698893833.post-8717599670157920362010-03-16T01:10:00.000-07:002010-03-16T01:13:44.204-07:00BACK

This one was about 1 month in the making, while the one on Planet Earth, is about a 4 day effort.<br />No, we don`t sit around doing these puzzles all day.<br />They are on a large table & we work on them a few minutes at a time, or 30 mins at another time waiting for dinner to finish cooking, for example.<br />We both have completely different methods of putting it together.<br />Teri works by the shapes of the pieces, while I work with the image on each individual piece & match it to the image on the box for it`s location.<br />I use my big magnifying loupe for that.<br />May your days not be so puzzling.<br />Peace.Knuckleheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04733105237141682139noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55892249698893833.post-80427387204367917142010-03-10T22:47:00.000-08:002010-03-10T22:51:47.345-08:00THE CONTORTIONIST<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/37knucklehead/4424413690/" title="DSCN6076 by 37KNUCKLEHEAD, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2677/4424413690_6e3c3ef0e2_b.jpg" width="1024" height="683" alt="DSCN6076" /></a><br />The writhing antics, seemingly impossible to control, from such a basic animal as an anemone, are, in my eyes, a natural mystery.<br />This is my Purple Anemone.<br />There` a few flowers & ferns over on Planet Earth.<br />Have a great day.Knuckleheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04733105237141682139noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55892249698893833.post-28126845697661712472010-03-09T22:51:00.000-08:002010-03-09T22:55:30.271-08:00DON`T HAVE A COW<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/37knucklehead/4422016878/" title=" 2 DSCN6051 by 37KNUCKLEHEAD, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2781/4422016878_48b5a3683e_b.jpg" width="1024" height="683" alt=" 2 DSCN6051" /></a><br />I stopped by to have a little moo with my bovine friend today.<br />I brought her a little `grass`, but she said she was OK for now.<br />Next time I`ll bring her an udder kind.<br />After you finish groaning, have a nice day, & be kind to animals.<br />Please.Knuckleheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04733105237141682139noreply@blogger.com2
