Ahhh, SWEET WILDERNESS...Sour Stomach, but Sweet Wilderness


Nothing like having breakfast outside on a camping trip...unless you get food poisoning. You're a long way from medical attention out in the woods. You better make sure to NOT put mayo on anything before you leave home.

As to what's going on here? I'd say these folks are not paying attention to the family member writhing next to the tent. Did he eat something gone bad? Is the woman in the foreground smelling the bread thinking, "Oh geez, this is gone bad. Wonder if anyone has noticed."

 This is my submission this week for Sepia Saturday. Just hang the sign on my door "Gone Camping!"

And no idea why the second photo is green. The original isn't. The one uploaded isn't. But then this page has been a nightmare to create.

  1. That's my kind of camping. Real organic gear with solid ash wood and sturdy canvas duck. None of that cheap nylon and flimsy aluminum junk.

    Seriously, it's a beautifully toned photo, almost an impressionist painting along the lines of Mary Cassatt, Manet, or Renoir. But with a writhing photobomb guy in the background.

    1. I will forever wonder about this fellow. I will wonder about this entire family. It's a long ago purchase.

  2. I'm laughing too hard to comment.

  3. It probably wasn't the mayo that had gone bad but what was with it. Contrary to popular belief, mayo is actually a preserver of a sort. I do feel rather sorry for the poor fellow on the ground, though - whatever did him in!

    1. Luncheon meats? And I did not know that about mayo.

  4. Why is he wearing a baseball uniform?

    1. Yes! Exactly! I wondered too. Was this some sort of weird training camp? Of course not, but what gives with that uniform?
