The Frog, The Circus and Oliver

06.17.2015 by Peter J. Crowley // 7 Comments

Three and the world is imagination, magical in the life of a young frog. June second arriving at the Lacey Library. There are more frog books to add to the 64 she has read.

_DSC0354 Ss15 Froggie getting Books at Lib 6-2-15Time at age three is not really understood or necessary. It is either now or last year. So last year, April 7th we took her to one of her favorite places. The CapitalDome one word announced every time we drive by or if a photo of the Capital is seen anywhere we go it is “Capitaldome.” She has wanted to go visit and explore for close to the last year. Spring break and mommy and I go there with her. We both wonder how long she will like it, but after 2/3s of the second time we took the tour and 40 minutes of wandering and questions. Well she loved it, the man giving the tour said to the group that the last stop was to see photographs of the construction of the Capital. No one wanted to see that except The Little Excavator more questions more knowledge absorbed.

A recent Sat. visit at my apt a fly flies by “Grandpa a fly” well Inara that is not any old fly that is Oliver he stopped by to visit. That look grandpa you’re silly. Oliver goes somewhere out of sight. “Wheres Oliver?” you know flies they find a spot and rest they are hard to find. Twinkling eyes wander around “Oliver, Oliver, where are you Oliver?” Oliver is now real a friendly visitor at grandpas. We play some more and Oliver reappears and disappears a number of times. Mommy will be here in a half hour  to pick us up and the adventure will continue. But wait “Grandpa lets walk up to the restaurant [market where they have Starbucks and cookies] and go on the CityBus. Mommy will be here soon. “We’ll take the CityBus and meet her.” So shoes back on train picked up we head out I lock the door, she turns and says open the door grandpa. I do she sticks her head inside “see you later Oliver.” Just magic the adventure continues.    peace pjc

Jan. 22nd Norwich Ct Blizzard Watch.

Jan 23rd after the snow

I’m not that person anymore.

Out in the new fallen snow, the driver to all the beautiful places, Adventures. I watch through the window on the screen. I’m not that person anymore. Peace, Justice, Antiwar. I can’t separate the consumer from the artist. I’m not that person anymore. “Look what’s happening out in the streets” Nothing! It’s an emailution Volunteers in easy charge card chairs. I never was that person. When did activism become so singular? So elite so anti social. I signed an email petition Click Click I’ve done my part. Delete Delete and your liberal senators aide has done theirs. See you in the shallow end of the gene pool. Red State, Blue State, Purple State, Das State, My State, I’m not that State anymore. Something must be done. Done not Spun I’m not that person anymore! Who am I?

Images made digitally film soon, pretty new to Digital B+W but beginning to get some I like but contrast is lacking till I take them into PS. Used to control contrast by film choice and filters now there is an app for that LOL.
