It’s a sign

This church, like many others, has a sign board out front, though this is the only one around here that’s a rather garish neon affair. I have to confess that when I saw this message my first thought was, ‘So, can I borrow his lawnmower?’ I’m going straight down to the hot place, I know.

The Numbers Game #73

This Gold Dust Day Gecko snagged a moth for lunch.

Instead, there’s reflections and layers of plants and mesh and glass at different levels, which I rather like.
