Crocus with Foot
Good Enough Self: (turns to the audience, apologetically) As you see, I have relented.
Big Baby: (pitifully, also to the audience) I have hundreds and hundreds of flower pictures, but she won't let me post them
Good Enough Self: For the last two weeks, we cannot pass a spring flower without stopping to shoot. Because it's only a waste of electrons (and hard disc space, my computer just warned me) I have indulged your impulses. However, this is supposed to be a cutting edge blog, and four hundred crocuses does not a cutting edge make.
Big Baby: What about pretty ? They're so pretty.
Good Enough Self: You are beginning to sound like Helium, dear.
Big Baby: Pleeeeeeeeeeease
Good Enough Self: We have published this particular crocus, because it had the good sense to grow at the foot of a griffin, and, thematically, we have a small Gothic foot festival going this week. In additon, it has a substantial shadow, which always counts for something around here. I do hope that this is not the thin edge of a wedge, as the Mitfords would say.
Big Baby: More, MORE
