| Jules and Me |
Sitting beside a statue of Jules Vern of Two Thousand Leagues under the Sea looks easier than it was.
It was quite a leap for me to climbed up and sit beside him and remember for a minute both the book and the movie.
We had been on a walk around the area and I spent my time taking pictures of the cheeky seagulls.
Having so many boats around, and people around, and food around -- all of that makes them unafraid of anything.
They sit on posts so close to me that I think I could reach out and touch one if I had the appetite to do that.
Wyona occasionally chases them, here on the Canary Islands.
She was also a pigeon chaster back in the London in the East Street Market.
Some childhood childhood fantasies about catching one or them some day never die.

Go, Wyona go.
But not until I get a few good shots of them to remember what fun I had that day.
Hey! I have these same pictures in my shots of the day. Too bad you did not get my picture when I did my face plant that day.
ReplyDeleteRe your face plant that day?
ReplyDeleteI do have a picture of you and Alex in the grocery store a couple of blocks over, buying those sugary bun-like confections that you shared with us, just about 10 minutes before you took that face plant. Whenever I look at that picture, this is what comes to mind ... "that is 10 minutes before Wyona fell so hard that an ambulance was called".
And then I think about you telling the onlookers that you did not need an ambulance and to cancel it. Oh, you are a tough one. If both of your legs had been broken, you still wouldn't have needed an ambulance.
Only a picture.
