Another image from Saturday's Worldwide Photowalk in Lakeland, FL ...
Water splashing down the tri-level fountain at Munn Park in downtown Lakeland makes all kinds of interesting patterns.
Thank you all for hanging in with me, in spite of my inability to respond - you all are the best of Flickr. A little story to share that is emblematic of where we are as a country right now - yesterday a lady came in to interview for the job in my room. I guess she was maybe late 40's or early 50's and I asked her about her background. She replied education, so of course I asked what level. I almost keeled over at her reply - she has just finished getting her Master's, took out a second mortgage on their home to pay for it and now there is no work. She is reduced to looking for work in day care. Yikes. I do this, even tho I have a degree in biology, for many reasons, but to be faced with that?? How awful and how very discouraging. Poor lady. And of course, she is now facing that dilemma - will anyone hire her because she is so over-qualified and they fear she will leave as soon as something better comes along. Probably not while she is desperate. How sad ....
Happy Bokeh Wednesday to all - I will be happy to see this week end as it has been busier than I ever dreamed!! :-(
