Here I am taking the quotes of Georgia O’Keeffe

“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else.  Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower.  I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”

The next set of pictures from the Streets of Västerås a city in central Sweden. A baby in the trolley. She is interested in the taste of a juice which her mom had. That’s why she is trying to get the taste of it from the straw her mother used. Instead of the milk in the feeding bottle. I think it’s a human nature right from the time of born. That we are more interested in new and what others have, even if we have with us what we need.

Two birds on a wire.  Seems like they are strangers, who doesn’t know each other. Or lovers after a fight. Reminds me the song of Regina Spektor.

Two birds on a wire, one tries to fly away
And the other watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well
But he is a liar

With so many eyes, it’s a bit surprising that they usually don’t have good eyesight. Instead, they probably just see light and dark shapes moving around. When they’re hunting they make up for that bad eyesight with an excellent ability to sense vibration and taste.

I took this picture, when is fly is resting on the tip of a empty beer bottle. May be the taste of beer gave him the confidence to pose for this snap. The common housefly is one of the most widely distributed animals.
