What's this all about?

It's partly a photo contest, partly a word challenge.

•  We're looking for photos and definitions that come together in a thought-provoking, clever, or humorous way.We hope you have fun with it.
   (By the way, you can see some sample entries on the contest home page.)

  After frightening away a (hidden) bird twice 
when watering this large pot,
a second look seemed advisable.

More garden stuff at Bayou Quilts. 

Still working on drafts to schedule.

Just finished an outstanding novel, 

It is one of those that I have to wait to review;
it will be published in September.
But it was so good, I had to mention it.
Beautifully written.
May be my favorite of the year.

Have just finished:
Frame 232
A Dangerous Fiction
The Lavender Garden
Betrayal in Burgundy

Reading:
The Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch
(and still reading The Long Emergency and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle
a little at a time; both nonfiction)

Next Up:
Gold Web
VWars
The Bellwether Revivals
and at home, 3 ARC s that came in the mail.

But I can feel this reading frenzy slowing down.  
my eccentric figures are calling me
after months of neglect.

These heads have been waiting since November!

I left them aside while I worked on others,
but now, maybe I know where I want these to go.
Not exactly, of course, but sort of an idea or two.
