What sticks

Well, seeds. Seeds stick. This is a picture of my legs covered with grass seeds. I did try to get a picture of the grass stalks that are covered with these little black seeds, but I am still having an amazing amount of difficulty getting this camera to focus on anything in "macro" mode.
And that includes this other picture of a deer. I saw it and took a picture but forgot to take the camera off "macro" mode and so it is pretty fuzzy. Sigh. Oh well. If you squint really hard you can see an orange blur black there in the green. That's the deer. There were several. You'll have to take my word for it.

The seeds stick and sometimes I wear them for hours after I get home because I get distracted by other things, like eating breakfast and watering the garden and stopping sweating. And then I'll have to drive somewhere and it'll be while I'm waiting in line at the checkout counter or maybe while I'm pumping gas or visiting friends that I'll look down and realize my legs are covered with the detritus picked up from walking in the woods. If I walk on the beach I get legs that are covered with tiny shells. My legs are magnets for small things that long to travel. I don't mind.
