...

She was behind the tree
And I was near -
Captivated, and compared thee
As well
But to a summer tree.
Yuriy Ku (Drop)

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate...
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."

William Shakespeare

indeed...the words and the pictures make a real treat:)

A contradiction went out walking

A contradiction went out walking.

“Walking Contradiction”

Do as I say not as I do because
The shit’s so deep you can’t run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
My wallet’s fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then I’ll hit you again
I’m a smart ass but I’m playing dumb

Standards set and broken all the time
Control the chaos behind a gun
Call it as I see it even if
I was born deaf, blind and dumb
Losers winning big on the lottery
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue
Constant refutation with myself
I’m a victim of a catch 22

I have no belief
But I believe
I’m a walking contradiction
And I ain’t got no right

Do as I say not as I do because
The shit’s so deep you can’t run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
My wallet’s fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then I’ll hit you again
I’m a smart ass but I’m playing dumb

I have no belief
But I believe
I’m a walking contradiction
And I ain’t got no right

I have no belief
But I believe
I’m a walking contradiction
And I ain’t got no right

Yellow

I’m not loving it! What about you?

Via IndiaInk:

The announcement by McDonald’s on Tuesday that it would open a few vegetarian-only restaurants in India next year marks the fast-food chain’s latest attempt to appeal to consumers in an unlikely market.

The fast-food chain has been on a nearly two-decade slog in India, one marked by both controversy and success. On Tuesday, the company said it planned to open vegetarian outlets near the Golden Temple in Amritsar and a Hindu shrine in Jammu and Kashmir.

I Sat Under a Cherry Blossom Tree (via The Farm, The Sea and The Big City)

A wonderful story with TREEtastic pictures!

And got lost in the profusion. Which I almost missed, but not quite. That this abundance comes straight out of the barrenness of winter is the wonder of it.  The blossoms do not slowly come out, one by one, like flowers from the ground.  No, it is cluster upon cluster of blooms perched heavily or hanging languidly off the branches.  All at once.  The white ones so like pure snow.  An umbrella of white beneath blue skies.  Breathtaking and joyful, … Read More
