OPEN POST: Peckerwood Field Trip-Animal Rock Zoo!

By

I didn't think this was real until I saw it was in Alabama. Of course! Where else would you find a zoo full of jankily painted rocks that are supposed to look like animals? I know the history behind it sounds sweet; Granpappy saw a boulder in the road, said it looked like a bull, tried to find a professional artist to paint it, couldn't, so, dangit, he did it his own damn self. 

People pay money to come to a zoo with nary an animal to behold but a field of rocks painted by someone who should be banned from every paint store in the universe. There is a level of fun absurdity about it that would be a wacky good time to see when drunk or high and do fucked up photo shoots all over the zoo. Channeling 70s fashion would be our theme. 


Camel toes were the thing in the '70s. Apparently. 










I just wanted to offer you some fashion inspo for the trip. 

Alabama Rock Zoo awaits!

Uncanny resemblance to...um...er...a cow seal.

A frog?

OPEN POST: Little Girl Looking Downstairs at Christmas Party

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's  RIGHT HERE .

  Here we are: the shortest day of the year, the longest night. Nature is slowly but surely continuing its cycle of rebirth and we will see brighter days ahead. It's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and consider what kind of light you'd like to bring into your life. A time of hope and renewal. I wish you all a happy Solstice!

OPEN POST: Take a Breath, Why Don't Ya?

By

Lots of holiday rigamarole commences next week, so if you can, carve out an hour or so today just for you . If you're lucky enough to have a puddytat, observe their silliness and play with them; if you have a dog, take them for a walk or to a dog park. And if you're bereft of furry creatures, take yourself for a walk, stop at a cafe, and drink a hot cup of joe or a cocoa - but without looking at your phone. Just sip, clear your mind, and do some Cyclic Breathing. Have you ever tried it? It's my favorite breathing technique: inhale deeply through your nose, follow immediately with a second breath (you can do it), hold it all in for a sec, then very slowly exhale through your mouth. Repeat several times. The slooooow exhale is what makes it so very relaxing, I promise. Cyclic Breathing is different from other breathing-type exercises because it involves a double inhalation and a long, even audible exhale.  But, hey, whatever brings you a few moments of peace today is worth do...
