Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw

Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw, originally uploaded by Rusty Marvin (feedback welcome).

P1400699 - Had a walk out the back woods today (to many little people in the main woods) and this tree has been resting here for x years still in good order and noticed these two half's of a whole, placed on the moss. So I thought I would give it a go with the 300 mm and see if I could get the light right:)

Or you might want to pop into the light box or take a risk and press .........................................................'L'

Disney at there best (IMHO) go on you you know you want to listen and it's a full 7 minute extract

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life

Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
'Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You're working too hard

And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you something true

The bare necessities of life will come to you

Just love those words and the simplistic view on life and how true so many of them are
