The Editor notes "Florida Flora" at Flipped Again and prays these muddy alligators are not in the immediate vicinity of Palmetto. 

Muddy Alligators, Florida -- John Singer Sargent 1917

Happy Memorial Day weekend back atcha!

Wild Eyes

The Editor imagines Salvador Dali (L) is surprised by the number of recent posts on his work at Flipped Again. 

Photo caption: Salvador Dalí and Man Ray in Paris, on June 16, 1934 making "wild eyes" for photographer Carl Van Vechten

Man Ray seems positively livid by the mention of his horrible break-up with Lee Miller on 

Les Larmes.

 Sabal Palmetto

Or maybe Pepto-Bismal.

"But I don't like Spam, Spam and Spam!"

The Editor recommends 

Alka-Seltzer. 

Doodle Dandy

The Editor is amused. Either every Google home page in America has this doodle today, or some geek in the Doodle dept. knew when to send me a birthday card. 

Thanks Google!

On The Tōkaidō

Perhaps the Editor is feeling generous. 

Flipped Again mentioned The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō by Ukiyo-e artist Hirosage but didn't bother to post a picture on the Toward Japonism post. 

The Tōkaidō was the main road from Shogunate-controlled Edo to the Imperial city of Kyoto.

36th station : Akasaka 1832

Architect Frank Lloyd Wright collected Hiroshige's prints. 

He described his prints as some of "the most valuable contributions ever made to the art of the world."
