My Week In Instagram Photos

4 Comments

I like Instagram for the simplicity of being able to post photos and tell a story in the process. Where I don’t always manage to blog, I probably have posted to Instagram. Here is my week in Instagram photos.

We’re busy with replacing the floors in the living area, and after a visit to the flooring people we needed a coffee and pastel de nata to make some decisions. We are still undecided though, about the flooring options…

This is how all good decisions about home improvements are done #homeimprovements #pasteisdenata #portuguesedelicacies

I remembered with nostalgia the time I spent at MAAT in April. I did a photo essay, here.

Waiting for Che to pick me up after a day at a client. I saw the bridge over the road and imagined it being a tree-bridge, like a tree-house…

Oh look! A tree-bridge! #jhbcbd

I hope you have a wonderful week!

PS: I know I have been distant of late. I have written about it but not posted the post yet. Maybe next week. Who knew that pressing the “publish” button could be so not easy.

Uncanny Resemblances Radiate Across Species

4 Comments

It is amazing that living things found on land resemble those living under the sea. And lest I forget, the mushrooms in the pic below, which resemble the blue bottles of the sea, also have a close resemblance to a non-organic human accessory, the umbrella – used on land – by people.

The tops of the mushrooms appear too heavy for their thin stems, looking ready to topple over at any time. Their milky whiteness invite a bold hand to touch them just to make sure that they are real. Their texture, soft and pliable to the eye may just belie hidden deception.

Nature is resilient and has had millennia of experience in protecting itself. It is not by chance then that uncanny resemblances that radiate across species has evolved over time ensuring the survival of even the most simple organisms.
