I recently purchased this image from a lovely lady in the UK. Neither of us have any real idea about what the photo shows and there are no details on the back to give us a clue! The little glass jars\/lanterns are not only strung across the water but perched on the rocks too.

Rohan and I did manage to step out on the town &#8216;Ellie free&#8217; with my lovely sister and her partner in crime Tim, who were visiting from Sydney. We went to see <a title=\"Puppet Up!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.puppetup.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Puppet Up!<\/a> in the stunning <a title=\"Princess Theatre\" href=\"http:\/\/www.marrinertheatres.com.au\/hireprincess.htm#\" target=\"_blank\">Princess Theatre<\/a>, (part of the <a title=\"Puppet Up! Melbourne International Comedy Festival\" href=\"http:\/\/www.comedyfestival.com.au\/season\/2007\/show\/408\/\" target=\"_blank\">Melbourne Comedy Festival<\/a>). It was brilliant! My sister and I are both longtime Henson fans so it was really exciting to get a glimpse of what it must have been like on set. Incredibly clever and very funny.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Puppetup!\" src=\"http:\/\/www.butterflyrocket.com\/BR_IMAGES\/2007A\/puppetmontage.jpg\" alt=\"Puppetup!\" width=\"435\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Not much luck on the thrifting front aside from this trim (quite substantial lengths too!) and an signed <a title=\"Alison Lester\" href=\"http:\/\/www.laterallearning.com\/authors\/lester.html\" target=\"_blank\">Alison Lester<\/a> book. I do however have a new toy which I am fumbling around trying to learn how to use&#8230;.sneak peak bottom right.

I didn&#8217;t realise those reading via Bloglines and the like may not see it. The dancing girls photo is one of my absolute favourite photo finds. I know adding wings is hardly original but it seemed appropriate and it is my little corner of the world after all!
