These bushes growing in the water and providing great reflections attract me for some reason. Then I got to playing with editing and this is the result. Happy Tuesday.

Yesterday during my walk I found 8 lovely lemons (which I had to carry with me for over half an hour!) I also saw this. And I wasn’t even anywhere near Area 51! Bulk trash pickup is what they say, but I don’t believe it!
I did mention I had more edits from from with editing the other day. Here are a few I had fun making using the Matter app. Thankfully I’ve never seen anything like this at the park, although it would be quite something! 🙂
Used an iPhone photo taken through a window with a screen, boosted the color, then used Lomo-ish from Picasa with a bit of a vignette. I think it looks a bit like a painting. Just gotta have some fun.
Spelling is often abused, not always with humorous outcomes, although auto correct has its moments. However, these spelling bloopers might, to quote a famous rock group, “make a grown man cry.” I suppose now it should read “make a grown person cry”, but as they say: “Whatever!”
Again, all from Anguished English, by Richard Lederer. Please, if you don’t buy it, at least check it out (literally as well as figuratively) from the library!
Mrs. Malaprop was a character in 1775 comedy by Richard Sheridan who misused words in a way that created unintentional humor. From her, we get the word “malapropism”, a particularly enjoyable type of humor.
Malapropism:
: the usually unintentionally humorous misuse or distortion of a word or phrase; especially : the use of a word sounding somewhat like the one intended but ludicrously wrong in the context
One of my favorite books of comedy, Richard Lederer’s Anguished English, has a number of examples, a few of which I’m sharing with you today. You survived Monday; you deserve some good laughs! And if you enjoy word play and, as Lederer says in his subtitle, “accidental assaults upon our language”, I urge you to get the book immediately!! You won’t stop laughing for hours. But beware. It’s addictive!
Yesterday I shared a quote by Thomas Jefferson. Today I’m sharing a thought of my own. It may not be as deep as the one from TJ, but I feel it’s quite relevant to many of us in ways that it would not have been to him. What do you think?
