Fragments From Floyd

Well I suppose this is an omen. Up since 3:30, I had decided that, since I didn't have anything nice or wise to say for all my ruminative wee-hours wakefulness, I'd post an image instead. I've actually been behind the camera again, as you might have noticed, and it feels mighty good. Failing to find the thousand words, I would post a picture this morning.

And when I attempt to upload an image in MSIE from the MT page, I get a little notice that a popup window was blocked, and no image is uploaded. I've disabled popup blocking through Tools/ Internet Options and it's still blocked. I've rebooted, no improvement.

No wait! It's Yahoo Toolbar's fault. Turning off that popup blocker unblocks the upload screen, obviously, because you see the image of Deptford Pink from the pasture.

Dianthus armeria is a tiny pink flower, a close relative of Dianthus caryophyllus, the common and much larger and more showy Carnation. It grows as a naturalized wildflower in the east (a native of Eurasia), adding mere dots of color to the monotony of a pasture or field. To see it this close requires one to slow down, get close to the earth, and take a good focus on the near at hand--a good grounding when one loses the bigger picture context of where they are and where they are headed.

My file upload is unblocked. My writer's will and focus is not. So...
