hanging by a thread

I don't have a lot of patience for this sort of thing.  I saw the leaf flapping in the breeze and spent ages (probably less than 5 minutes) waiting for the thing to keep still.  

It's the tiny threads that amaze me.

Yesterdays blip: seems to have mystified some people.  99 Red Balloons was the first thing that both Anniemay and I thought of.  

Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
