I think this is just brilliant! Enterprising and unusual. Why can’t people be creative and do more things like this?

Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There’s something wrong with a society that drives a car to workout in a gym.

World's Tiniest Meme
World’s Tiniest Meme, originally uploaded by kcm76.
This week we have a midweek Flickr meme, called World’s Tiniest Meme!
These photos are not mine . . . please click on individual links below to see each artist/photostream. This mosaic is for a group called My Meme, where each week there is a different theme to send you out on a hunt to discover photos to fit your meme. It gives you a chance to see and admire other great photographers’ work out there on Flickr.
As usual here are the questions and my answers:
1. What’s your favourite quotation?
It’ll pass, Sir, like other days in the Army [Anthony Powell]

Daffodils in Our Garden
What I had forgotten, momentarily, when I took this is that these daffodils are growing on the spot where we buried the Floss Cat’s ashes — it was his favourite sunbathing spot. They’ve been there for 11 or 12 years now and are still going strong, unlike many naturalised daffodils.
