Maybe you like to mess with the classics

Or your nights are spent making music ’round a campfire

You might get your kicks out beats and the sounds of synth

(created on this)

Or you just like to geek out with  music and fireworks

Perhaps you like to karaoke. Maybe you play the Ocarina. Just hit record then spin the world to hear global harmonies belted out in passionate unison.

Maybe your air guitar days have become a cyber reality

It could be that you just like to scratch

And when you’re not scratching your rapping

What do you think? A musical instrument? Musical conduit? Sonic expression? Bells and Whistles?

And now imagine a child living in rural or remote areas with an iPad, or an OLPC tablet. Learning. Playing. Creating.

Now Press Play

Just because I CAN blog about a unicorn singing Culture Club’s “Do you Really Want to Hurt Me”? And because Chewing Gum should be this much fun. Puppets rule, OK?

It’s my contribution to the3six5 project, created and run by Len Kendall and Daniel Honigman from Chicago.  They’re nearly halfway to creating a log of 365 posts from different people around the world explaining how their day went. There are so many unique experiences and life stories being shared, it’s really worth taking the time to have a peek!

What do you see?

It reminds of  stencil art or sidewalk chalk. Something amongst the landscape of Twitter reminding us of the possibilities. Symbols. Poetry. Tanka. 140 character dreams. Urban memes. Who’s your favourite Twitter artist, poet or Twitter Disruptor?

Howard Errey shared this moment of Wonderment, discovered in the doorway of a construction site. Are you on the lookout for Wonderment today?

Okay, so iPhones aren’t really suited to macro photography. But this creative challenge hasn’t been about taking technically perfect shots.

It’s a reminder that there is wonderment to be found in any given moment, any day. It’s the delight of shiny red seeds from a  pomegranate thanks to my in-laws garden. It’s the discovery of a gumleaf near the letterbox cradling pretty rain droplets.

Do you have a photo you’d like to share? Please leave a link in a comment or add it to the Wonderment group and I’ll share images that inspire in my next post

I only took two photos so I played with some different apps. In the end I selected this blurry shot which I also processed using the ShakeItPhoto app. It reminds me of one of my mum’s glossy, colourful oil paintings. I found wonderment in the metamorphosis of crystals into a sugary-swirling-multi-colour-palette-platter.

I’m enjoying the reminder to notice these things. What kind of wonderment have you glimpsed today?

How could I resist?
