The Stag was once drinking from a pool and admiring the noble figure he made there. “Ah,” said he, “where can you see such noble horns as these, with such antlers! I wish I had legs more worthy to bear such a noble crown; it is a pity they are so slim and slight.” At that moment a Hunter approached and sent an arrow / whistling after him. Away bounded the Stag, and soon, by the aid of his nimble legs, was nearly out of sight of the Hunter; but not noticing where he was going, he passed under some trees with branches growing low down in which his antlers were caught, so that the Hunter had time to come up. “Alas! alas!” cried the Stag: We often despise what is most useful to us

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting / On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; / And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming, / And the lamplight o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; / And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor / Shall be lifted – nevermore!
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, / Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, / While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, / As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. / ”’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door – / Only this, and nothing more.”
This tee tells the tale of Glenda, illustrating that life is too short to be miserable… enjoy!!!!!

It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more. Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow
Once upon a time there was a Miser who used to hide his gold at the foot of a tree in his garden; but every week he used to go and dig it up and gloat over his gains. A robber, who had noticed this, went and dug up the gold and decamped with it. When the Miser next came to gloat over his treasures, he found nothing but the empty hole. He tore his hair, and raised such an outcry that all the neighbours came around him, and he told them how he used to come and visit his gold. “Did you ever take any of it out?” asked one of them. “Nay,” said he, “I only came to look at it.” “Then come again and look at the hole,” said a neighbour; “it will do you just as much good.” Wealth unused might as well not exist
A Peacock once placed a petition before Juno desiring to have the voice of a nightingale in addition to his other attractions; but Juno refused his request. When he persisted, and pointed out that he was her favourite bird, she said: Be content with your lot; one cannot be first in everything

This is one of over 200 exposures made on December 23 2007 at Kensal Green Cemetery in North West London. There was a very thick fog that had closed the airports and brought much of the UK to a standstill. It seemed obvious then that I should go and shoot some images in the cemetery which is about 300 yards from my front door. Interestingly, Kensal Green Cemetery is said to be one of the earliest “modern” Cemeteries, dating from the mid 1800s. Cemeteries all around the world based their design on that of Kensal Green. Part of the intention was to integrate the cemetery with its natural park-like surroundings, a place where death nurtures nature. Having been shot with a rather ancient Canon 10D at ISO 400, this image is slightly ‘noisy’, but think it adds to the ambience. Canon 10D / Canon 28-200mm @28mm / 1/90sec @f11 / ISO400 Tweaked in Lightroom – desaturated a bit, colour temp lowered slightly, contrast enhanced a tad.
A great conflict was about to come off between the Birds and the Beasts. When the two armies were collected together the Bat hesitated which to join. The Birds that passed his perch said: “Come with us”; but he said: “I am a Beast.” Later on, some Beasts who were passing underneath him looked up and said: “Come with us”; but he said: “I am a Bird.” Luckily at the last moment peace was made, and no battle took place, so the Bat came to the Birds and wished to join in the rejoicings, but they all turned / against him and he had to fly away. He then went to the Beasts, but soon had to beat a retreat, or else they would have torn him to pieces. “Ah,” said the Bat, “I see now, “He that is neither one thing nor the other has no friends.”
It happened that a Countryman was sowing some hemp seeds in a field where a Swallow and some other birds were hopping about picking up their food. “Beware of that man,” quoth the Swallow. “Why, what is he doing?” said the others. “That is hemp seed he is sowing; be careful to pick up every one of the seeds, or else you will repent it.” The birds paid no heed to the Swallow’s words, and by and by the hemp grew up and was made into cord, and of the cords nets were made, and many a bird that had despised the Swallow’s advice was caught in nets made out of that very hemp. “What did I tell you?” said the Swallow. Destroy the seed of evil, or it will grow up to your ruin
One day a countryman going to the nest of his Goose found there an egg all yellow and glittering. When he took it up it was as heavy as lead and he was going to throw it away, because he thought a trick had been played upon him. But he took it home on second thoughts, and soon found to his delight that it was an egg of pure gold. Every morning the same thing occurred, and he soon became rich by selling his eggs. As he grew rich he grew greedy; and thinking to get at once all the gold the Goose could give, he killed it and opened it only to find nothing. Greed oft o’er reaches itself
By an unlucky chance a Fox fell into a deep well from which he could not get out. A Goat passed by shortly afterwards, and asked the Fox what he was doing down there. “Oh, have you not heard?” said the Fox; “there is going to be a great drought, so I jumped down here in order to be sure to have water by me. Why don’t you come down too?” The Goat thought well of this advice, and jumped down into the well. But the Fox immediately jumped on her back, and by putting his foot on her long horns managed to jump up to the edge of the well. “Good-bye, friend,” said the Fox, “remember next time: Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties
An Aesop’s Fable / Aesop’s Fables or Aesopica refers to a collection of / fables credited to Aesop (620–560 BC), a slave and / story-teller who lived in Ancient Greece.

The fables remain a popular choice for moral / education of children today. Many stories included in / Aesop’s Fables, such as The Fox and the Grapes / (from which the idiom “sour grapes” was derived), / The Tortoise and the Hare, The North Wind and the / Sun and The Boy Who Cried Wolf, are well-known / throughout the world.
A bit of fun here. My wife bought one of those “microwave” herbal water bottle type teddies. Anyway I was giving it a go at the weekend and I could not help feeling a complete and utter b**d watching the sad-looking teddy go around and around in the microwave. I know it was a only a teddy….but I’m a real animal person so I felt EVIL doing it. So I decided to have a play with the concept. I found an old microwave and hijacked the kitchen one afternoon. I have tried to get everything as miserable and as grubby looking as I can…..just to add to the “cruelty” factor. Please Note* No real animals were hurt while creating this piece of artwork :D Hope you like it. All constructive critique welcome
I don’t understand why you’ve gone, / only that i was left behind / I’m too sad to cry, too sad to die, / I miss you, and wish you were here. note. all and any proceeds from this one go to the Geelong Animal Welfare Society.
Why is it that some days, everywhere you look is dull and grey. It’s like someone has taken all the colour from your life. Even if the day is bright, blue and beautiful, you seem to be the only one that is looking in monochrome, and through rain covered glasses. Cold, lonely and miserable.

Les Misérables known as Les Mis or Les Miz, is a musical composed in 1980 by the French composer (person who wrote the music part) Claude-Michel Schönberg with a libretto (words) by Alain Boublil. It is the most famous of French musicals and one of the most performed musicals in the world. In 2006, the show celebrated its 21st anniversary and became the longest-running West End (England’s equivalent of America’s Broadway) musical in history, and is still running (albeit in different venues). Susan Boyle sang this on Britian’s Got Talent, her number was 43212…I was inspired.
