Led sign of foot massage stands out, even though it isn't the largest sign, because of the led lights it is made of- it catches attention.
I've been really busy and I've no photos to show for it. I'm going to be busy for the coming weeks as well. I was thinking about the celebration of the visual that Flickr is and I was thinking about what language it might be that photographs speak. I didn't pin the answer down in my mind, but I did decide it is a cerebral, thinking language. In contrast, I think music and sound could be an all together different language. Perhaps a language of the heart or of the soul. I recently remembered a piece of music that is so beautiful I honestly can barely listen to it. If feels like there is an emotion center in the brain that someone has put an electrode to causing me to feel all of these intense emotions out of the blue when I listen to it. I do not know if it would be the same for someone unfamiliar with it. I do know that music is a language that transcends most everything.
By the way, this Earth was really big. Taller than me. It was at an Earth Day celebration.

Not even sure that is a word but sometimes there isn't a word in this language and neologism is the order of the day. Joyce eat your heart out!
My darling spouse will eat fish and seafood but has mild persistent phobia since an unfortunate childhood experience. Hence she doesn't do 'fishy' fish, if you know what I mean. Only the freshest and trimethylamine-free cuts, really.
Fish-heads freak her out; it is the eyes, apparently. Whilst I'm not one of those weirdos that sucks the jelly out of animal eyes, I'm unfazed by the eyes. You see an aspiring gastronaut always looks at the eyes to tell how fresh the fish is when buying it.
Anyway, you can't go to España without tucking into a dish of the paella. And I know you can get various meat-only or veggie versions. But, to me, a proper paella has to have a decent amount of seafood in. So, my darling spouse indulged me.
When it arrived, bristling with crustaceans, her concern was almost palpable.
It was delicious and she ate a goodly quantity although I was dismembering the residual prawns and dabbing grains of saffron-y bomba rice out of the pan long after everyone else had finished.
After eating the lion's share I, much like a lion, felt like a long nap afterwards. But putting your head on the table and grabbing a some z's is unfortunately frowned upon. So my siesta had to wait awhile.

70 early childhood teachers attended a six hour hands-on teacher training workshop conducted by Dr. Diana Wehrell-Grabowski. Teachers were introduced to approximately 90 children's literature titles that can be incorporated into the early childhood classroom to reinforce science, language arts, math, art, social studies, and cultural concepts. Teachers conducted a wide-array of hands-on explorations to investigate: shapes and patterns, building with blocks and other materials, animal camouflage, exploring the characteristics of meal worms, and plant concepts. Teachers had a fantastic time and expanded upon their content knowledge as they built structures, made animal camouflage masks, made a sprouting bird seed necklace, explored with bubbles and more.
