Last night (during the full moon) Annie and I went to the movies to see Alice in Wonderland. Our neighborhood has an association (not really sure what they do for the neighborhood) and they sponsored a movie night at the park. Really how many times can you take your dog to the movies? There was only one other dog (she was 14 years old) at the movies so Annie was really bored with no one the play with. As soon as Alice fell down the rabbit hole, I got the call to go pick up hubby at the airport so we missed the rest of the movie. It was more fun watching the families who don't spend a lot of time outdoors. The amount of food (it was like the kids would never eat again) bundles of clothes (we are in the middle of summer here) and chairs that most of the kids could sit in for only a few minutes. Annie is not used to walking in the evening so she will bark at almost anything. As we were leaving the park she saw a large shadow near the swings. She started barking her big girl bark like Godzilla was going to attack. I'm sure she scared everyone there. It was a bike leaning up against the swings but the handle bars did look sort of weird in the dark. I did make a note I have to get her out more after dark.
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
