Waterworld (only without those scary guys on speedboats)

Can I say I'm tickled by this houseboat hoop without sounding vain?
I love this little bird, kind of stoic, manning the helm. I love that it looks like maybe they've got a potted tree along in order to plant it when they reach their destination. (In my imagination, it's an orange tree. It's going to be warm on the island, and who doesn't like an orange?)
I love how those little jelly fish are checking out the boat, like a couple of curious cats.

Mark--you know, my beloved--isn't as fond of this hoop as I am, though, because he says it reminds him of Waterworld, which basically gave him a three (four?) hour panic attack. Well, you can't please everybody all the time. ;-)

Melissa Crowe said...

Oh, yes--it could be an olive tree. This peace does have a bit of a Noah's arc feel, doesn't it?
