Sunday, i was a Pomona Widder.
a Pomona Widder, for those of you not in the know, is a wife, not interested in cars (except to drive) and therefore is NOT interested in going to a HUGE MASSIVE ALL DAY LONG AFFAIR car parts (and everything else) swap meet out at the L.A. County Fairgrounds in Pomona...about 40 minutes from our abode.
now, i have done this swap meet before, or, as i call it, the Death March of Pomona. it seriously does take you all day to go through it. in the summer it's hot and you come home looking like a cooked lobster, sans drawn butter. go in the winter and you likely will freeze to death, gladly looking for the local beer stand so you can warm up.
beer can do what coffee can't.
so while Husband had some male bonding time, i was left to my own devices. and those devices turned out to involve a photo field trip.
California State University Long Beach is home to a small, but impressive, Japanese garden. it's closed on Mondays & Saturdays (not sure why on Mondays, but on Saturdays they're closed for weddings. i was at one there once...lovely, but hard to hear and no chairs. you stood for an hour.)
so i decided to go have some fun.

while the whole place has a wonderful calm air in it, even with about 25 other people there - along with a couple in their early 20s who apparently had nothing better to do than to walk around and take pictures of themselves.
gaaaah that was annoying.
colorful, yes. graceful and stately, yes. but uggggggggggggggg-leeeeeeeeeeeeee.
U.G.L.Y. you ain't got no alibi you ugly - hey!hey! you ugly!but you do photgraph well. even for my own lucky shot.

Psh, I think some of the best pictures of me are ones that I take of myself!
Ok, maybe not so much after I've had a few drinks, but they look good at the time! haha.
You are right UUGGGLLY fish.
You had me laughing out loud at that UGLY cheer! Takes me right back to junior high school!
(Around here, this time of year, we have Huntin' Widders. Thankfully, I am not one of them.)
Oh but you do take purty pitchers...you truly do!
And you never fail to make me smile. : )
Love,
Sue
