Oblong hope...

Here's a delicious little morsel for two thousand eleven; a sphere of potential in a simple shell, incubated in creativity and ready to hatch.  This photograph of oblong hope {by Sharon Montrose} is a lovely way to delve into the new year.

Hooves and horns...

Up on the roof there arose such a clatter...

This handsome fellow {and he is handsome} is from the lens of Sharon Montrose.

Knobby knees and numerical creatures...

The moment I set eyes upon this set of knobby knees {at Unruly Things}, I felt my own knees get weak.  This print of Stanley, Baby Giraffe No. 3, is perfection - adorable and sweet perfection by Sharon Montrose.

A few more shutters of Sharon Montrose's perfection {and more Stanley, too}.
