“You are growing tired, so very tired Space Wanderer…..Stare at the faintest star, Earthling, and think how heavy your limbs are growing. ...”
from The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

I just love to connect through photos with my reverie. To free associate and see where they take me. I wonder where this fellow takes you with his eyes? I would love to hear about that.

Shot at the Melbourne Zoo. A huge thank-you to the very warm and generous Bubblers Rosemaree and KristinaK for taking me under wing for a few hours yesterday, and teaching me more than the little I knew.
