an elephant in the room by summerfield

an elephant in the room

far as i know this idiom means there's an obvious problem that everyone is trying to ignore.

a few days ago, i found a curious looking box and inside there was an old suit which i used during the late 90's and attached to the blazer was this little elephant brooch. heaven knows i've been looking for this brooch for ages. there was yet a smaller bag within the curious looking box and it contained about 25 little boxes with old trinkets and more brooches. i don't know what i shall do with those as i am nearing retirement.

the elephant in the room is of course the gazillion boxes containing more personal effects that every time i plan on working on them, i get sick and don't have the energy to start on them.

last of the apple, i promise, as i, too, am bored with it.
Such a sweet brooch! Love your image!!

Love the double meaning of this shot, and I like the shot per se as well.

Very clever Vikki! Doesn’t every relationship have at least one elephant in their room? 😊

Superb on black! You have managed a week of spectacular photos with your Apple in spite of your ill health! I am certain you will think of lots of ways to combine your little treasures that you have just found into photographic opportunities

Fun shot and story. Like finding treasure even if it is yours.

What a beautiful brooch and photo. Might have taken me awhile to figure out it was an elephant it's so sparkling . Vicki I can't remember if you live in Toronto ? You are on my mind as I watch the news .

you have done well to keep the apple going all week. I love your narrative and I think this is my favourite of your apple series. I think you know what all those little trinkets are for - I look forward to seeing some of them on here! The rest of the boxes - well one thing is certain - there is always tomorrow!

Green Apple looks very well after its scuffle yesterday with Little Blue. I have enjoyed your creativeness. And lucky finding all the trinkets and brooches. So many new photo props. I do hope you are feeling better. If not, perhaps a call to the doctor is in order.

@lesip - thanks, les, for your concern. it is far from downtown toronto, but sadly enough it is only 9 kilometres/5.5 miles away from where i live. it was a really sad incident as as of right now, 10 people are reportedly dead. but the one little good thing is that they have the suspect in custody.

I like your lighting.

I know you will come up with something clever to do with all those pins- maybe Little Wahoo can help! As for this little fellow- he's quite endearing!
