Ah. Lovely. I had a design in mind for my non-existent wine label, which would be the moon screened onto the pale blue bottle in white ink. Now for the hard part.
uselaine -- very funny. Surely you've come up with a name to put on this lovely label—which is . . .??? Must admit that when I'm buying by the bottle (and not the usual Chateau Cardboard), I am occasionally influenced by the label—graphic artists working for wineries, take note (as I believe you already have).
If you look closely, this moon resembles the yin yang symbol. Now if my daughter were looking at it, she'd say, "Dahdee, I see a bunny!" Yeah, I can see that too. Alexa, did you have the moon in mind yesterday when you were photographing the cheese? Because we all know of what the moon is made, eh? ;-) [I would have rather ended that sentence with a preposition...it sounds so stilted without the "of" at the end.] Gawd! After two days, I'm already thinking like a high school teacher again. Just shoot me now! ;-)
Coltrane, a question to the high school teacher : wasn't it in ancien India that there was a story about a rabbit (a hare as a matter of fact), a fox and a monkey, and at the end, the hare is sent to rest in peace as a reward ? Alexa, nice picture and not so easy to shoot, especially with the lights of the city.
ming -- actually, I was up at 5:30 to get to an early yoga class (I know, I know). My ex went to the park to try to get tickets for us. He showed up at 11, by which time the line was about half a mile long. They hand the tix out at 1, but the first people in line told him they got there at 5:30. He figured you probably need to be there by 9:30 to have a shot.
coltrane -- don't fret: grammar counts! (says the copy editor, who can't read anything without wanting to—at a minimum— re-punctuate it)
marylene -- here's that tale you're thinking about.
Alexa, thank you. I loved this tale when a little girl and scared at the same time to see how far you can (or have to or could) go in order to help others.
Alexa and Marylene, what a beautiful tale. I honestly had not heard of this story. I've just printed it off to read to my daughter. I'll let you know how Elena responds to it. I know she'll love it. I did!;-)
coltrane -- please do let us know what Elena's reaction is. My own daughters loved this sort of tale when they were little, and also preferred the darkest of the Brothers Grimm's tales (little girls aren't nearly as "soft" as we think they are!).
And Marylene, thanks for bringing it up in the first place!

What are you doing up at 6 AM in the morning?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI want to see "Hair" too. How do I get tickets to the show? I saw the 1979 movie version of it on TV just last weekend.

"Moonshine"
ReplyDeleteWow, Alexa, for both this shot and that story - I hadn't read that story before.
