Then I guess this app wouldn't help - I used it to locate keys with my phone - and reading glasses etc, but my phone always stays with me in my pocket - that's just the rule :)

A beautiful photo of a delicate bloom, @slowwalker. You were able to detach yourself from the flower and edit the photo to bring out its fragile beauty. The Lotus itself is the very symbol of detachment

A gated house enclosed by a huge wall - I wonder who is being walled in or walled out? I'm always intrigued by houses with nobody in them - this one reminds me of a Joyce Kilmer poem: I never have seen

I wonder how many artists mislay works in progress and never find them? - at least you did, Alan. Me? I do my best work on restaurant napkins. Deb's given up on buying me nice notebooks...as for my study,

Ha, ha ... I thought you were referring to your digestive system rather than birds on a wire... but speaking of birds, I find women tend to slow things down in a conversation and I end up having disco
