The 26th Autumn Leaf

A photographic journal of my 26th year

Lucy Rip

“You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.” These words by Robin Williams are the inspiration for this blog. Since I found that quote I have been on a quest to find the ridiculous madness in life - the kind that makes you laugh long and hard at its absurdity. I've decided to share my gems of discovery here. A candle loses nothing by lighting other candles and I suspect madness works in much the same way.

A bit about me... I'm a twenty something, living in South Africa. In my spare time I embark on ambitious house decorating projects, bake cookies with my Russel Hobbs cookie maker and hack my way around the occasional golf course. On a more serious note - I write for a digimag called illumin8. Visit www.illumin8.co.za for details or email "subscribe" to illumin8ezine@gmail.com. Its FREE!

We climbed Skiddaw, the fourth highest mountain in Britain. It took our
legs the rest of the week to recover!

To give credit where it's due - this photo wasn't taken by me. I was still
a bit sick so not at my photographic best, and this one definitely
deserves photo of the day!

PS Salad Freak, I hope you don't mind that I used it!

This is my cousin's eldest son. He's nearly two and put away about 50
olives in one sitting. And that's a conservative guess!
