Comment by Joan Denoo on April 8, 2013 at 12:39am: Tony, the flying fish photos are so pretty with the unusual form and skyborne fish, its color, and the blue of the water make it enchanting.

Comment by Joan Denoo on April 8, 2013 at 12:36am: OK, I give up, Dallas; you wrote, "This is the only version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" I like listening to. For very obvious reasons."

Care to take the time to help me understand your reasons?

Comment by Tony Carroll on April 7, 2013 at 11:55pm:                                          Flying Fish

Always reminds me of the poem by Rudyard Kipling, 'Mandalay'

On the road to Mandalay,
    Where the flyin'-fishes play,
    An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the Bay!

Comment by Dominic Florio on March 31, 2013 at 6:13pm: Could it be Dallas the Phallus that you are a friend of Dorothy's? LOL

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on March 31, 2013 at 5:05pm: This is the only version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" I like listening to. For very obvious reasons. : )

Comment by Joan Denoo on March 31, 2013 at 2:11pm: Dallas, I am on the opposite end of the spectrum as far as the rainbow song. I do know what you mean, some songs just make a thud for me.
The Elephant Blog delights me; so many fine scenes and images of family. Thanks for the site.

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on March 31, 2013 at 1:49pm: An Elephant Blog. Seems to be abandoned, but some beautiful photographs still available for viewing.

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on March 31, 2013 at 1:45pm: Okay, that would have been so much better had it not been accompanied by "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." I friggin' hate that song. But the imagery was beautiful.
