As always, thank you so much for your visits, comments and faves!

Skippy and his stuffed tiger cross the log bridge…

  

As many of you know, I'm a big fan of the classic comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes. I wanted to create a playful tribute that references their legendary log bridge crossing.

 

Keep imagining.

Keep blazing trails.

And keep shining bright, my friends!

This is a detail from the Monument to the Discoveries which is a memorial statue dedicated to Henry the Navigator. It stands in the harbor of Lisbon, Portugal near the mouth of the Tagus River. It was permanently erected in 1960 to honor Prince Henry who led the voyages of discovery into the New World in the 15th Century. The Portuguese were legendary mariners & explorers. One can barely imagine risking the treacherous waters of the Atlantic Ocean in wooden boats powered only by sails.

I was out trimming some of the Hibiscus that grows next to my house, mostly trying to cut it back from the house itself, and of course trying to find a decent example of one or more blooms on the bush. I did eventually stumble upon a few blooms I liked, this is an Angel Eye Hibiscus. So, I began my little setup, worked around the scene, and began snapping a few photos. During my time trimming I had disturbed a whole lot of the beetles, one of which landed on the bloom here. I know they're a pest, but at the same time it added a depth to the flower I couldn't simply overlook.
