When Bunnies Attack

I don’t know why I never post photos here. But I take pictures. And lots of them. By the thousands. Don’t ask why I have the spasmodic trigger finger. But I do.

Some friends were heading out to the Fire Arts Festival at The Crucible in Oakland and I tagged along.

They had some really impressive displays, some which I’m not at all sure were safe. Flaming dragons, horses treading through fire gardens, playing Dance Dance Revolution with fire being thrown in your face (Dance Dance Immolation). And they had an entire theatrical production called The Fire Odyssey based on Homer’s Odyssey.

I think the best thing about this was the hands-on nature of it. It gave you an appreciation for the craftsmanship and heart that went into creating these artpieces. OK, maybe it was more about people showing off what cool things they could do with computers and live fire…

There is a group for everyone on Flickr. Do you like lizards? What about ping pong ball enthusiasts? Or maybe 101 uses for mayonnaise?

I recently went to check out the Cherry Blossom Festival here in SF and on my way over I snapped a few pictures of various things. One of them happened to be macros of some flowers in a McDonald’s storefront flower bed. I usually like to give people context, so I also took a picture of the McDonald’s storefront itself. And, what do you know? Someone actually asked me to post my picture to a group dedicated to … yes … McDonald’s Storefronts. Oy!
