Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #8: COLORFUL
First things first. Apologies to Tina and all Lens Artists fellow-bloggers for MB’s correct spelling of the word ‘colour’ in his post title. Seems that ever since you guys threw all that tea into Boston harbour (not ‘harbor’) (& the cost of which you still owe to the Brits), the spelling zone of your brains has been fried, for want of a decent cup of tea perhaps?! And MB doesn’t give a fig for the Webster’s English Dictionary. The WED is a Yankee creation, is it not? And in the opinion of MB, a mere smokescreen for the Yankee misuse of ‘or/our’ and ‘s/z’.
But enough correction of your Yankee friends MB. Get on with the Challenge….
OK, ok, guys.
MB and daughter MB2 were in Bucharest for 5 days this past week and did much exploring and unearthing and checking out ‘Dracula’ stuff and such like, of which more in the future. For the moment, MB will just give y’all a colourful shot he took in one of the nicest bookshops he ever visited – called ‘Carturesti’ in the centre of Bucharest. This bookshop sells, in addition to books, vinyl records, tea sets, wine (yes, wine!), backpacks, tea shirts, and much much more.
But for Tina’s challenge, MB has selected a shot of a table selling tea sets.
Voila:

Your colourful commentary made me smile Micheal!! do you know that when we type it as coloUrful that the WP editor corrects it?! Funny enough, I actually thought about the many international readers when I spelled the word. As for the tea, it’s probably the healthiest thing that’s been dumped into Boston Harbour 🙂 in centuries!!

Thanks Tina. Yes I am aware of the IT bug in the WordPress and Microsoft systems and am presently lobbying both organisations to sort out this very sorrowful and highly embarrassing spelling situation. I have also made reference to the fact that WP have plucked the ‘WordPress’ word from a James Joyce novel (which I may reveal to the Joyce Estate legal eagles) and that Google is headquartered in Dublin where MB has much influence needless to say (I have referred them to the very low tax rate they presently enjoy, which could disappear in a click of MBs fingers). Who would have thought that a simple ‘colourful’ photo challenge could take us all in such a colourful direction. Google & WP v MB. Last man standing takes all!
