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.
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
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.
