Pasadena Daily Photo: Zen Monday

On Zen Monday, you tell us.

No need to tell us what's really happening in the photo. Forget about what's real. Maybe there's something unreal or surreal or hyper-real going on. It is what you want it to be.

**********

Good news: activism got us an extension to the public comment period for the County DPW's plan to scrape Hahamongna clean of vegetation and animal habitat. We now have until January 21st to comment.

I'm biased. Read the plan for yourself. All the information and links you need are here. Sample letters are here. Then please send your comments (best in the form of questions) to:

EMAIL - reservoircleanouts@dpw.lacounty.gov (Include "Devil's Gate Reservoir Sediment Removal and Management Project" in the subject title)

or

WRITE -
Los Angeles County Department of Public Works
Attn: Water Resources Division - Reservoir Cleanouts
P.O. Box 1460
Alhambra, CA 91802-9974

and

County Supervisor Michael Antonovich
fifthdistrict@lacbos.org

Not in a mood for funny yet wishing to provide you with Zen Monday, I'm re-posting a Zen Monday from 2010, including the comments that prompted me to post the second photo. There are quite a lot of them, and room for you to comment at the bottom.

Boz provided us with love, exercise and endless entertainment. We will miss him always.

Welcome to Zen Monday. In case this is your first: Zen Monday is the day you experience the photo and give us your thoughts rather than me telling you what I think the photo's about. There's no right or wrong. We're here to have fun.I look for a photo worth contemplating or, failing that, something odd or silly. Unless I absolutely must say something I stay out of the comments box to avoid influencing the discussion, because when I get in there everything goes down hill.

Update: To understand this photo, please read the comments.

Bellis said...: Boz hesitated at the cave's mouth. It was, he knew, a back entrance to the Mines of Moria, a place swarming with orcs, spiders and dog groomers. But his master, Frodo, had gone that way earlier and needed his help. Boz shrugged off his fears, held his head high, and padded in.; June 28, 2010 at 8:26 AM

I hope he'll forgive me.; June 28, 2010 at 10:54 PM
