You are reassuring about repetition. Thank you for that too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-41180884268827173062008-11-02T16:48:00.000+00:002008-11-02T16:48:00.000+00:00Those leaves look remarkably similar to maple.Tapi...Those leaves look remarkably similar to maple.<BR/><BR/>Tapies is one of my favourite artists. I was thrilled to see a large exhibition of his works in a museum in Germany several years ago. Nice souvenir you have there, so full of possibilities, as you say.<BR/><BR/>And I feel the same about the repetition, it's part of living and seeing. Too often we can stop seeing that which is there everyday. Thank you for your daily observations and notes here!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
