ABC Wednesday—G is for "giraffe"


At the gift shop in the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg,
Florida, is this "burning giraffe" model based on
ones in some of his paintings (and his film L'Age d'Or).  
They also have small stuffed versions that 

you can buy for all the surreal children in your life.

Shadow Shot Sunday


I find myself hoping for sunshine and
searching for shadows wherever I travel—
and
found both in abundance at the
Dali Museum
 in St. Petersburg, Florida.

ABC Wednesday—R is for "Rainy Rolls Royce"


At the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, 
they've created this homage to Dali's original
"Rainy Taxi," first displayed in 1938 at
the Exposition Internationale de Surrealism. It was 

fitted with pipes to make it "rain" inside the car—
which held two mannequins and 200 live Burgundy snails 
(and, I hope, some of whatever it is snails eat).

Skywatch/Reflections


My first thought when I visited this building recently
had nothing to do with the fact that it's the Dali Museum 

and everything to do with two of my fave memes.

I was even inspired to take a selfie
(something I hardly ever do).
