Scale

By Vladimir Brezina

Big fleas have little fleas,
Upon their backs to bite ’em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas,
and so, ad infinitum.

And the great fleas, themselves, in turn
Have greater fleas to go on;
While these again have greater still,
And greater still, and so on.

But, big or little, they are all overwhelmed by the incoming tide—

By Vladimir Brezina

This week’s Photo Challenge is Masterpiece.

A quiet little masterpiece that would not be out of place in the Metropolitan Museum, in its collection of Rococo decorative objects—

Weekly Photo Challenge: Lost in the Details

By Vladimir Brezina

This week’s Photo Challenge is Lost in the Details.

Big fleas have little fleas,
Upon their backs to bite ’em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas,
and so, ad infinitum.

But then the tide came in

Travel Theme: Oceans

By Vladimir Brezina

Over on Where’s my backpack?, Ailsa has posted this week’s theme for her Travel Photo Challenge: Oceans.

To my surprise, I find that I don’t have too many photos that really fit the theme. Yes, I have endless photos that show water that technically belongs to an ocean, but that isn’t the same thing.

So here are a few photos that, to me, suggest at least the beauty and mystery of oceans, if not their vast scope and power…

This, once more, was at Glover’s Reef Atoll, Belize, with Slickrock Adventures. Technically on a mere sea, not an ocean, but connected, ultimately, to all of them… More photos are here.
