Bring on the Clowns
Are you afraid of clowns?
Should animals be subservient to man or live in their environment?
Are clowns fun, funny or humorous? Certainly preferable to animal entertainment in circuses.
Since when did clowns become scary?
Actually, when I was a child, I went to a few circuses. I never really liked clowns except one who was completely white, Coco. I thought him a little more captivating than the ones that threw buckets of water.
I was more enthralled with the high wire and acrobats. At that time, I didn’t know how some animals were treated, and I loved the horses, tigers, and lions.
Now, I see circuses differently, with no glamour and poor conditions for animals.
Most certainly, I haven’t been for many years, but memories remain of clowns that were mostly unamusing and of horses trotting around with plumes on their heads. And the moustached ringmaster was cracking his whip.
Many circus animals were left to starve in war zones, and I can't imagine the trauma of jumping through a flaming hoop.
In which case bring on the clowns.
Animals should be able to live freely in their environments, which are being encroached upon by man.
What are your memories of circuses and clowns, and animals in circuses? Did you enjoy any circus acts? Or the terrible music?
Post memes, gifs, music, and trailers, enjoy chatting with friends and posting music.

Snap, Crackle and Pop, Breakfast Time!
A toast to you, enjoy LFE, chat with friends, or breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Is the sound of milk on crisp breakfast cereal.
Snap has many connotations.
Cereal or toast? Coffee or tea? My breakfast is usually toast with Brie, strawberries when in season, or white grapes or honeydew melon, love fruit, especially blackberries or mulberries. Actually, no tea coffee or champagne, only cool water.
Would be nice next to a crackling fire, in the winter, and to breakfast.
Perhaps the pop of a champagne cork if celebrating. (just kidding).
What’s your favorite breakfast? Is it an English Breakfast, egg, bacon, sausage, beans, tomatoes, toast and marmalade? Kippers…ugh!
So…
The theme is examples of snap, crackle and pop, breakfast. Post memes gifs, music, trailers.
Remember, No politics, No religious comments. Most of all, enjoy!

Reflect over coffee
Are artists misunderstood?
Why are there so few women artists?
Portrait of Georgia O Keene
Made her name as a feminist artist.making flowers look like female parts.
Do you buy art?
Who is your favorite artist/ musician?
I would put Marilyn on a wall but not a soup can.
Better still a Salvador Dali dream.
Do you like abstract or figurative work?
Post memes, gifs, your favorite musicians, artists, and pictures on your walls. Remember, no politics or religion, and respect all commenters.
Enjoy!

And remember Red in your thoughts, wishing him support. Red appreciated all good wishes and prayers sent to him and thanks everyone. It meant a lot to him that you all cared.
Sssh The sound of silence and other sounds of music
What is your favorite instrument?
Being born a townie, I remember the first time I heard silence, it hurt my ears, I was deep in the countryside, it rang in my ears. Also, at night alone on the moors in pitch blackness that enveloped me, scary…
Listen to the sea
I live in a town again, not my real choice after the space in Australia, bush, and beaches.
At the moment, we are enduring road building, construction all around.I think Im the only person feeding the birds here, they wake me up chirping for plum cake every morning.
They boldly fly into my room, onto my chandeliers, bedside table and are extremely inquisitive. I love the chirping of my wild sparrows.
My favorite sound is being woken by the bush in Australia, that's heaven for me.
There are two places I know of where birds don't sing. One is Auschwitz the other, is ‘The silent city of Mdina’, there is nothing for birds to eat there, in that part of the Mediterranean, cities were built without gardens. Animals lived in the ground floor of the house, and every house by law had to have a well. Its a small island built on a rock.
Also the voices of people I know can bring happiness. Favorite music too, and my friends on LFE.
The first image is my mill room,
And then….
The silent city
Mdina
I love the sounds of the sea, and singing whales.
In Italy I used to hear crickets, I used to hear them here too, but not since ruthless construction started.
If I am in the front of the house, its a cacophony of redirected cars, lorries delivering goods and neighbours gossiping. My home, however, is in two parts, a townhouse and an old mill, hundreds of years old with three-foot walls filled with earth and somewhat soundproof to those around me. It's a hundred square meters and I live mostly in that room, and in the garden come summer. I could be a million miles from my noisy town,
which, apart from locals, has been devoid of crowds since covid and roadworks, businesses closed down and could not struggle on.
Everyone on LFE loves the sound of the blues, and wild music, and chat…
So post your favorite sounds, discuss sounds you may like or dislike, of course, post your favorite music, memes gifs, trailers, and observations. Chat with friends.
Most of all enjoy and respect others.
