This is a strange world indeed. I think that this overwhelming attitude towards the human body lends itself to devious behavior. (The Talented Mr Ripley: "How's the peeping, Tommy?") *smile*
Happy Friday!! Have a good weekend.
Life is always the winner.
Regarding #4 -- You're wrong for that -- got a sistah jonezing for Krispy Kreme! You are just wrong...wrong...wrong.
Have a blessed weekend-mine is off to a great start :-)
I'm so glad I came by here today.
Thank you Stephen!

That's crazy! We pretend to be more decent that we portray. This is why we have so many peepers. :)

I really like those two as well. I put them first for that reason. Thanks.
The flower looks soo pristine against the dullness of the contrasting background.
HOWD YOU DO THAT??
:-D
GnightGirl pointed me your way. Be well.
Great picture of the flower. Of course, it takes a talented eye and a full heart to notice beauty at one's feet.
Blessings,

Yes, chaotic beauty. That's sort of like a quiet storm or peaceful riot. :)Maybe not, but I like the words.
