“You are a Grammar God! If your mission in life is not already to preserve the English tongue, it should be.” In reality, however, grammar takes a bit of work. “Congratulations and thank you” may be in order but, I am just a humble writer and visual artist!
How grammatically sound are you?

A friend called me late last night to talk. He usually calls me late at night but, it was right when I was about to turn out my lights to go to sleep. We finally hung up about 11:10, later than I wanted. Anyway, I didn’t hear my alarm go off this morning and what did wake me was a helicopter about two blocks away. I knew when I opened my eyes and saw sunlight that I was late. I looked at my clock and I had fifteen minutes to get out the door. Gawd, I hate a three hour class on an empty stomach! All that said because today’s image is what I saw as I drove into the Univ. parking lot today. A beautifully sunlit lake with some waterfowl and pigeons here and there soaking their feet (as if pigeons really need to soak). I’ll have more time tomorrow morning to provide something.
Sorry, I don’t know the name of this very small flower on the Univ. campus. Getting up early is bad enough without daylight savings time on a Monday morning. *sigh*
Here are my 28 questions and answers about writing and being a writer…
Today’s posting was supposed to be the 28 writer’s questions. I typed it all up but apparently didn’t save it so, when I opened the document to post it, it had only the questions. Maybe I’ll have time to do it over again this weekend. Anyway, here’s another image from the Univ. campus.
*Scale is one visual element that is deceiving here with the largest clover being about 1.5 cm – 5/8 in. each. Pattern is obviously the predominant element however, the blades of grass poking through provides an added form that is diagonally directional as well as texturally counter to the clover. Shapes, size, and even the nuances of the coloring of each leaf create a multidimensionally rich and visually deep photograph, although it is very simply presented. Location: Univ. campus near visual arts complex and bird wading pond.
