1st of June.
Marilyn Monroe was born 1926.
Helen Keller died 1968.
It is also Oscar the Grouch's birthday today.
If you're a farmer you might know today as Gypsy day (unlikely even that you are reading my blog, but hey you never know).

Something I have enjoyed hearing lately is people say 'small things'.
Whether it's about the little things in life they enjoy, poking fun at the oddities of others, it's a new saying to me.

Some small things I've enjoyed this week:
the sound of lentils being poured into a jar
watching someone bend down to pat a cat on their walk home
the smell of Vic Books coffee
clean feet in fluffy socks
cutting a persimmon in half, seeing it's sun shape, then sharing it with a friend.
Debbie Carlos series entitled Micro.
So cool.
In enlarging her negatives she picked out parts of photos which were background details, seeking out those little things, the image inside the image. This is a particular fave.
