Forty Years On, and counting!

Relics ii
 
A couple of long, lost relics? Not a bit of it! Two of the greatest of friends, closer than ever, enjoying the opening night of Vancouver’s Bard on the Beach 25th Anniversary brilliant production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

This is knot: a painting – homage to Rene Magritte

I thought I would follow up my submission to the Daily Prompt: Make Me Smile with this homage to Rene Magritte’s painting Ceci nest pas une pipe.

Its partner piece is entitled not a painting or Ceci n’est pas une peinture in keeping with the homage, since it really isn’t a painting, but as you can see is indeed a knot…in a frame…which by the way is not for sale!

Finally, this week I submitted for the first time to the Weekly Writing Challenge.  This week’s challenge is to write a story in exactly fifty words. I entitled it Knot at Home (sound familiar?) It is another homage, this one to Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, as you will see if you visit the post on my other site theotherpalette.
 
OKI think it’s time in the immortal words of George Burns to “Say Goodnight, Gracie”…

Daily Prompt: Come Fly with Me

“Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.”

FourMileBeach ii
…A few years ago we travelled to Port Douglas in northern Queensland, Australia. One morning we rose early to walk along the famous Four Mile Beach to see the sunrise. It was a beautiful morning as we walked south along the beach for about an hour. Not a person in sight; just us and the rising sun. Where was everyone on such a perfect day?

It was on our return that we saw the sign.

The reason for our solitude was explained, and we were alive, happily, to tell the tale!
