Okay, follow along with me on this one, because this is how my crack squirrel-filled cranium works…

So, I was walking around work last night, you know, like I do, and I thought to myself what a cool expression ‘the grapes of wrath’ is. Then, I started wondering where one would keep one’s grapes of wrath, like in a barn, or a a wine barrel, or wherever, and this led me to see the possibility of a joke in this idea somewhere, and I found the joke. It goes like this:

Where does Donald Trump keep his grapes of wrath?

Right next to his nuts of petty jealousy.

Well, obviously, this led to me trying to come up with other ways to make grapes of wrath funny, which unavoidably took me eventually, after many winding turns and dead ends, with crack squirrels bouncing around in my head, to the idea of this cereal, which is a real cereal, except that it doesn’t contain any wrath at all… or grapes… or maybe not even nuts, now that I think about it. I haven’t eaten grape nuts in a long time. Somebody should Google the ingredients.

The very last of my wet web photos… probably…

a 1

These are the very last of those pictures I took where I sprayed some spider webs with mist from a spray bottle, thereby making fake dew.

a 2

I also spray ‘fake dew’ on flowers. If you are in to photography, I suggest you put a small misting bottle in your camera bag.

a 3

I decided not to do any digital magic with these. I saved the best for last, and they speak for themselves.

a 4

However, I might save a few, just in case the crack squirrels that live in my head ever want to do something weird with them.

a 5

But, as photographs go, I am rather proud of these.

a 6

I do feel a little bad about faking the dew part, but it was that or wait for another misty morning.

a 7

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

a 8

Besides, when I did have a misty morning, the light wasn’t as good.

a 9

And these are all about the interplay of light and shadow.

a 10

Okay, full disclosure.  I did crop that one and the next on just a little.

a 11

Some of the web with the sun behind it was a little washed out.

a 12

And I thought the dead insect was distracting. HA!

Messing with art and history; a ‘spot what’s wrong with this picture’ game… part 19…

I really like that one. They are both such strong characters. They typify the hard life on a farm. But, if you remove the gender biases, it raises a startling series of societal questions. Which sex is really the stronger? Who works harder? Who has more responsibility, or gets more respect for what they do? And mostly, which one could kick your ass???

Well, it is a little easy to spot the changes I made, but it is adorable.

See, now that right there is sarcastic irony.

Whereas that one is more silly social satire.

That one… well, that is just rude. Also, I couldn’t find a hand flipping the finger that was facing the right way, so it doesn’t even make sense… from a physiological standpoint.

Our dogs practice being cute.

And they dream of being firehouse dogs, I guess.

My wife took that one. Hey, I work nights, and they won’t let me nap!

That isn’t even my dog.

But all dogs… and babies and horses… love me.
