Showing posts with the label mistake

The more we elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.

This a very flat photo, but it does show off this 'come to bed' eyes very nicely...

Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.

Theme Thursday already? And the theme is what? Man, I'm almost of a mind to cheat and run with (wh)OOPS I haven't done a Theme Thursday post! Indeed, I could run with that notion and post this picture with the caption and here is Hobart's sunny eastern shore , knowing full well that a thick blanket of fog means that you can see nothing of the sort. [To get an idea of what I'm talking about, this photograph was taken from the same location on a clearer day.] But back to the topic.
