32 YEARS LATER, I STILL MISS MY BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUES STORE, HERE IN ATLANTA, WHERE I SHAPED A FEW AESTHETIC TASTES, IN PREPARATION FOR THEIR LATER LIVES....HOPEFULLY, WITH SOME CULTIVATED PREOCCUPATIONS WITH BEAUTY

going through yet another box of photos.....taken during X-mas of 1994, at my Shop, in Atlanta...... Here....the very young Ann O'hara Wilkiemeyer and dapper Thomas Lenoir Woltz pose, confidentlly....

The 'GOLDEN RULE': BEAUTY IS TIMELESS

THE WHITE AZALEA BLOSSOM, WITH ITS SLIGHTEST HINT OF PINK, AFTER METICULOUSLY COORDINATED DISASSEMBLY, IS A DELICIOUS TREAT FOR THE NEARBY ANT COLONY THAT CARRIES THE PETALS AND STAMENS TO THEIR UNDERGROUND DINING ROOMS FOR FEASTS

Aren't ALL of the GODS just grand, confabulatory delusions of Men, with whom they are perpectually in conflict?

On the journey from Troy, back to Greece...AKA 'THE ODYSSEY', according to Homer, anyway, ......Poseiden, although he gets to swim around in the Sea, wearing a crown, bearing a lovely mermaid tail and a fabulous necklace, gets riled up over Ajax and drowns .......those Gods!.....always battling....like the Humans that designed them........
