Fun with 3D

I got my 3D lens! Check these photos of the Green Apple bookstore on Clement St:

The annex:

The main store, from the entrance:

Further in the store:

The key to seeing the 3D effect is to have your eyes looking into the distance, so that the left eye sees the left image and the right eye sees the right image. You can hold up a piece of cardboard or paper on edge, splitting the image down the middle. That will help.

Leaf

When all my sisters and brothers were gathered together
When screams of laughter scattered them
And they were gathered again
I was still
Holding on to the branch even past the first frosts
The last rains coated me with ice
I could say that I couldn’t move but I would be lying
I only have to let go
Let the wind take me
Maybe into the neighbor’s yard
Maybe over the high hedge I’ve seen it happen
Crushed by a car, pissed on by a dog
End up in the compost heap, food for worms
See that? that was a caterpillar
Took a bite out of me when I was young
But I survived, I’m a survivor
Hanging on
