Apocalypse in 9/8

I just need to post something because, arbitrary as it might be, I love today's date.

I feel so evil! Over lunchtime, I destroyed complete ecosystems, relocated those who lived there, and swept the remainder into the dustbin, all in the span of two hours. Me vs. Weeds In Front of our House United: 1:0.
However, there's either two small or one huge ant's nest under the steps in front of our house. Not good. Beside the fact that they are undermining our entrance, I now feel as if I have ants in my pants.

Next, shower, shopping, library, home in time for tea, and then band rehearsals for the gig on Thursday which will hopefully take place - it's an open air thing, and if rain comes, the gig will not.

When I first got my digital camera, I made a lot of pictures, most of them rather, shall we say, experimental. Ok, let's call a spade a spade - they were crappy, and not really meant to be good; I was simply messing around with the camera. Don't we all?
Anyway, I rarely deleted pictures; after all, bytes don't cost money. And when I was asked to contribute to an "art contest" in an online community I frequent, I was only happy to do so. I sent in the picture you see here, which I actually quite like, not least of all because I know the owners of the hands.
And it won.
I have no idea why.
