Weekly Photo Challenge: Tiny
Although, it isn’t the prettiest thing in my collection, but it sure is the tiniest! I got it off the desk of a co-worker on a working Saturday. You can gauge its size considering that it has its base rested on the open end of a standard pencil-sharpener!
Life Free From Hinderances

Weekly Photo Challenge: Red 2
When the cars whiz past you, everything comes to a stand still on the traffic signal. But when the little red guy appears, its time for the pedestrians to stand at the curb and see the cars zoom past. Alas, the challenge for the week is red, not green, or I would’ve had a crisper image!
Weekly Photo Challenge: Red
I love a good read, and after using up all my other red inspirations, I decided to look for some ‘red’ literature. I am no communist, but one thing I did notice was most of the red, marron pink colored books, all dealt with either love, or crime. I guess we all thrive on extremism!
Liven up the Decor
Another interesting was to decorate a place specializing in Italian cuisine. I guess that’s how you tie up a the ingredients and ambiance to make it snazzy!
