Thoughts Askew -- Who Knew


When things aren't as they appear.....
The longer we live the more we come to understand things aren't always as they seem. ....and worse, no matter how much you do your share of the work load.....often those around you won't follow the outlined fashion carved out for us so accurately and uniformly, .......then things begin to fall apart......

My first reaction from a slightly small perspective and not ever seeing ships sailing through my city


Oh my...this appears to be ......... "Are we under attack?" (per first photo below)

Ah...."Instinct is the nose of the mind." - Madame De Girardin





Aha....just a group of tourists....


and this is simply .......



where trusting my instinct to absorb the larger picture is so important



"Nothing reaches the intellect before making its appearance in the senses,-" Latin Proverb



tour along dear friend....and know that whether it be March Madness or not, when you live in America and vacation in England ...many things can be named accordingly to their liking.......not yours.....

like when I hear the name gherkin...the first thing on my mind is not


This lovely sculpture called The London Gherkin Building....Oh no, I'm thinking green and tart and oh so yummy...... is eating a gherkin pickle any time of the day!

Karen that amazing buildings you've captured. That's the first thing which caught my attention... boat, what boat? lol I don't know why my eye gravitated towards the buildings, maybe because I've never seen anything quite like this. This is in London? I'm wowed! Have a great day!

Karen: Things are never as they seem. That's what makes life so great!

"Instinct is the nose of the mind." I'll have to remember that.
