June 10

.

Walking at lunchtime.

Rose, in the sunshine (the translucence, the shadows.....).





The Toledo Zoo isn't the only place with clematis and roses in close proximity.





Store window, with yours truly, sigh.

One problem with holding the camera a significant distance from your face is that it sees different reflections than you see.......





Luckily, with such a nice plain background, it was easy to clone over that distracting reflection.

These windows were "in process;" not sure where they are going......


Looooooooove these wonky bricks! Don't they look like cartoony buildings?

It's a good thing no one was offering these to passers by. I wouldn't have been able to resist.........





Much later, walking Wilbur. Too dark to take pics of things on the ground, but the sky is still light enough.

I saw my first lightning bug of the year on this walk.



"They" promised it wouldn't rain until late afternoon the next day. Which was garbage day. So I put out recyclables.

Recyclables sit near the curb in open bins, for the moment, so I don't put them out if it is going to storm (because I don't want to be picking them up all over the neighborhood!), and I don't put out any sort of paper product (paper, boxboard, cardboard) if it will be wet.

Let's hope "they" weren't lying.........

LOVE the bricks! Very handmade looking = lots of character, yes? In fact, I love them against that background. I would totally hang that photo on my wall like whoa.

cheers,

I expect Dr. Seuss-y characters to be looking out the windows.... :-)

I agree, handmade looking. Lots of character, yes. :-)

I suspect they were rejects from a factory, but wonder how they made it through the firing process rather than being tossed back into the hopper to be re-wetted and made into usable brick. I guess I don't know how the automated process goes; maybe there's no inspection prior to firing.....

Thank you for the kind words. :-)
