Los zunzunes y las artes (VI)

Traemos hoy el poema "The Hummingbird", de Fiona McKimmy:

Came the spring, I picked a corner and

set my mind to making a flower

garden in the midst of this mass of

weeds unattended through

Winters toughening of the soil.

I tilled, and pulled, and turned, and broke, and bled...

The soil was perfect now...

But, alas! The puppy was fervent in her efforts to help me dig!

So I cut, and I sawed, and I nailed,

and created the most beautiful little picket fence with a gate.....

and planted a tree......

and planted my flowers...

and tended and watered and weeded

and nurtured all through the Spring and Summer months....

To this day, this perfect Autumn morning,

while standing in my doorway,

sipping that first cup of coffee....
I saw the fast-beating wings of that little faerie,

flitting from flower to flower...

was all worth it in that one moment.

Y las obras para decoración en las casas de Thomas Kinkade (las pueden hallar en el sitio http://www.collectiblestoday.com/) que como verán, son una belleza:

Los zunzunes y la numismática (II)

En un blog [coincharrua.blogspot.com] encontré esta moneda rara y bella que quiero compartir con ustedes. Se trata de un zunzún en una moneda que es un holograma, según se afirma en dicho blog, "lo último en la tecnología".

Aquí ven la moneda de Sao Tomé y Príncipe, de 1,000 dobras, que data de 1998.
