October 21, back to work

Of course the U isn't all about handsome Diagonals and fall-yellow hostas.

Many people think you can never have too many parking structures, and that the ones you have are always enhanced by expansion....................

A giant bag of discarded concrete.





A giant expansion of the Thompson Street parking structure.





Ok.

Turning our backs on that.



Maple.





What I really wanted to show, with this sycamore leaf, was how un-flat it was.

The place where the stem comes out of the leaf was at least two inches up in the air from the sidewalk..........

Then when I was getting the pic, I was so taken by the points around the edges of the leaf that I lost my original intent............







Crows on the front yard of my office building.

There were three, either on the ground or on the picnic table (bench at right).

I didn't notice the one up in a tree until it told the others that I was paying rather too much attention to them and they should scatter and gain some altitude.





I had my office window wide open all day.

I love these little IKEA dishes. I've been wanting a set of them every time I go in that place, and when we got the rugs, I decided I could have them if I want.

Don't they look nice?





Orange and green.
