Each Wednesday is a quiet blogging day for me so I am going to post a photo or two I took today and write a short story/explanation about it.

You are welcome to join in and share your Wednesday shots as well.

It could be something you see when you get out of bed.

Your own bleary-eyed face could be included though I know mine could be troubling to some and be not necessarily a good way to start your day.

The shot can be of anything you saw during the day.

Good or bad doesn’t matter as you’ll see with many of my efforts.

I would like you to tell me the story about your photo and its backstory if it has one. Try and restrict your enthusiasm to tell me to 100 words.

When I was working one of my students did a performance piece about a woman who loved cacti. To help with the performance, I bought her a small cactus. It had a resemblance to something phallic and so became known as the penis cactus. Its the smaller protuberance you see next to the larger green cacti….the naming had nothing to do with a reflection on me I can assure you…I think….since then it has flourished with neglect in my garden.
