Story pictures

It's not often I give a whole post to a single blog, but I just found this one and it's so magical that I don't want to wait to share (besides which, I'm not sure what I'd group it with). It's called Things Look Like Things, with the tagline Blogs and photos as fable, fairytale, fiction and fact. It's a sort of photoblog of Flickr selections showing not just simple resemblances, but also poetic transmutations and dreamy narratives, with titles like "What a Bat Might Dream" and "The Planting and Harvesting of Cupcakes". (It turns out that quite a lot of things look like cupcakes.)

I almost wish I hadn't scrolled down to the bottom of the page to the older posts that include text, because the newer ones fare much better without it -- the caption and a sequence of images are all that is needed for these miniature epics.

Shown below are two of the shorter series, "Sometimes We Rise" and "Blue Eyes".
