Pinterest is an online pinboard.
Organize and share things you love.
Gathered here things inspiring and beautiful and odd. (In going back to 3 boards in place of 6, I've lost previous beloved pins I ought to have rehoused. I am bereft. What is that they say about learning to let go?)

Searching the internet one finds all sorts of things. Curious images. Sad images. Of this photo I can tell you nothing of its background, I can offer no context. I found it on the tumblr, Animals Riding Animals. I am not too sure I am brave enough to look at the collection further. Sad circus images seem likely to soon appear.

I had pinned this once before and by accident deleted it. Found by way of the delightful egggg tumblr, I do not know who the artist is, and I wish that I did.
