Musings
Last week, it was leaf-blowers. This week it’s air-hammers and saws. And these guys. See the post on the ground on the other side of the street (by the far orange cone)? I saw that a week ago and thought, hmm, new post somewhere. And, when I saw these two bucket trucks from down the street, I thought: aha, that new pole is going up! But…………………no! Will revisit this street tomorrow and see what the fix-it status is.
In other news, the first volleyball practice I’ve seen this year here. Two groups!
Some trees are blooming…
…and some are not. [There wouldn’t be that skinny shadow if there was more vegetation on those branches.]

Parked train.
We ventured out toward the ’burbs to a civic center to see model train layouts and the miscellany that vendors bring to such shows, table after table of tracks and trains and fake trees, and fake all kinds of landscape and small town elements. [We managed to not buy anything. Yay!] I did see a snack-baggie of scale model coal for $5. Wonder if the vendor bought it as “fake coal” or as some kind of generic project plastic granular sand or something….
Somehow, I managed to photograph this carnival ride that wasn’t even in a diorama. Somehow, it seems more interesting….

This pairing kinda confounded me. I’ve upped my walking minutes, so I can go farther afield…and in new territory (new lately, that is), I found this. I’m still pondering it….

Back in the mists of time, I read that Swiss farmers who had fields/pastures on steep slopes…
…monitored the effects of gravity, and when too much soil had crept downhill, they dug it up and moved it back uphill, so as not to lose it to the owner of the next field/pasture downhill. Farming is tough. [Moss has a relatively limited root system, so it’s almost a cheat to show the creeping soil under moss….]
In my private world of kitchen experimentation, I’m making broth from the chicken leg bones from the other day’s bake…using the simmer burner for the first time. Burble. Pause. Burble.
And for Friday fun: a yard piglet. Winsome.

Chew-bot is a robot goat, a Canadian transformer-like toy. As seen on “Corner Gas.”

Detritus/graffiti from the Sunday footrace…
Broken sidewalk slope zone…will return to discover what it’s been converted into.
Color and shapes…I’m regressing. Or retro.

I left earlier than usual, having heard the meteorologists say: rain later! I set off on a typical wander, looking for photo potential. Mmmm, maple “helicopters.” Perhaps for red maples? haha
Mmmm, a lion detail on a planter…. Hmmm? where’s the traffic?
Oh. Foot race. Hence, streets closed off, so, hmmm, an especially traffic free neighborhood, even for a Sunday!
Tranquil until the thunderstorm! Which now has passed. Whew. All is well. Wet, yes, but well.

Checked out the BeltLine over by Ansley, where we haven’t walked in…well, since The Foot. It’s time…but didn’t happen today. Notice that the golf course green is still a bit brown….
And the headline is from this “Temp Tag”—fella, ya better hope a cop doesn’t stop you!
You can’t tell it from these photos, but the sun did come out a bit for a bit. Wan sun, though.
March! March, already! Whew, this year is flying by!

Do I lead with the avian mural?
Or the decrepit machine?
Or the vegetation patterns on a stone wall?
I rather prefer the last one, but I’ll just leave it here at the end….

It’s all about juxtaposition.
It’s all about shadows and shadow-makers. And orange cones? Wha?
It’s all about bathroom interior decoration…light fixture/ceiling…dare I say?…juxtaposition.
