A Walk on Meragang Beach with Mickey

left:  Mickey in 'The Birth of Venus'

I met mickey when I was walking with my dogs on Meragang beach. He had been washed down the river and had been brought in by the tide. He was kind enough to consent to travel with us on our stroll and to share his insights into Art and nature. Few of us live such dangerous lives as most cartoon characters. How many, for example, have been washed away in a flood and landed up on a tropical beach in Borneo? His experience of the Art and film of the 20th. Century is second to none but it will be for the roles he played in "The Birth of Venus' [above] and 'The 3rd of May" [left] that he will be remembered.
