NOT A PANCAKE TALE

This story is about everything at once. I feel I am expanding, and it could be that I am just getting fat, since I like to eat. Or it could be that the world is so nice and I like to taste it, and in doing so I make myself large. Since I haven't visited any pancake houses lately, it must have been just those delicious purple-blue grapes and strawberries that I not only admired, but nibbled on.

THE COPPER PLATE BUG

The Bug with a Glittery Back. Photo by MK. ...................................................................................................... I am in the process of making my second collage on wood, and its working title is "Not All the Glitter is Gold". Today I found this intriguing looking bug that knows how to camouflage himself. He was sitting on H.'s laundry pile when I captured him. 30 minutes later I took him out by the canal to release him from the mason jar. When he was out in the sun, I noticed his shiny, glittering back - metallic looking plate in the shape of a leaf.
