Snapbooks: The X-Files Earth Children Are Weird

https://youtu.be/0_Ggj92FUik

I love The X-Files, and this children’s book is a fun foray into kid-sized Mulder and Scully adventures.

The illustrations by Kim Smith are adorable. Little Fox and Dana are cute, but the aliens steal the show as far as I’m concerned. I love Little Green Men!

I’d recommend this for adult fans to read to the littles in their lives. Kids will like the surprise ending, but this longtime X-Files fan loves it for its kitschy appeal.

weekly photo challenge: weathered

This week’s challenge, to take a photo of something weathered, thrilled me. If nothing else, I love pictures of old things. The uglier and more used up it is, the more I see its beauty in years of use, or possibly, abuse. I love this selection because of the juxtaposition of the once useful cast iron now rusted and the wildflowers growing around it. It looks like a fallen tombstone in an empty field — the name worn off and left as an anonymous reminder of our mortality.

Or maybe it’s just a pretty picture.
