Showing once again that regular plywood is not durable in outdoor situations.
Showing that oak leaves can get beat up by MaNaychur.
Musings
Progression*
Wednesday, 12 June 2019
I set off on my walk, and soon was wondering what theme I’d come up with for my walk-pictures.
I thought fence/ivy…and then I found fence/azalea…yay! I thought…then I realized even at two, they had become boring already.
And…I found yellow door…and, aha, new direction to the pattern.
But, no other architectural details…only a shadow in the playground. Still not terribly rewarding.
So, finally, here’s a flower spike on, well, I know it as butterfly bush. Perhaps.
* Progression is not progress.
Roadside sights
Sunday, 2 June 2019
You would not be the least bit surprised, I bet, to learn that the street that goes along under this railroad track is called Arches Street. Poetic or pragmatic?
Abandoned building—not a fine place to sleep any longer. Does this mean that in each room there was space for a bed, dresser, and a few hangers—and that’s it? Or does it mostly mean no cooking facilities? I’m mystified.
Note: not Colombia. I find it interesting that the facade was expanded in 1969 to include a street door to the far right. We zipped by and I couldn’t tell if this bank is still open; however, a bit of searching, and yes!
After all day on state highways and a few US routes, we finally popped onto the interstate maze, and followed this for a few minutes as we approached the northern metro area. Time for you to generate your own caption.
Vultures over Deshler

No photo of the thermal-riding vultures, circling, circling (catchy title, however—heh). Instead: frost in the field.
Almost always a lane closed on the Big Bridge. Yay for infrastructure maintenance.
Rabbit wondering at roadside.
Sugar in towers. [Do you think of Ohio as a sugar producer? Nope? You aren’t alone, I’m certain. (Beets not cane (duh).)]
I hope you’ve enjoyed this exercise in prepositions. Overkill, in all likelihood….
Views

Valley view. Alternatively: split-rail fence view.
Barn view.
Root view. Note high water draining away after that storm that ended two days ago here.
Long view. And smokey-like. And bluish.
Hot mess

The Île de la Cité will never be the same. The gargoyles are still coughing (I’m pretty sure).
Tranquil Sunday
Sunday, 3 March 2019
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.
Jux stah…

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.
Suuuuuuhnee day
Monday, 18 February 2019
I liked the shadows, and the shapes of the leaves/vegetation that made them, juxtaposed with the warm browns of the wall stone.
For those craving flowers, here’s a deciduous magnolia…
…and forsythia—outdoor forsythia, somehow mixed with a holly. Seem to be strange phyto-bedfellows to me.
Full sun = vitamin D

Japanese magnolia bud. They were open on another tree, but this one was all bud.
Golden crocus. Croci.
Silver fireplug with two columnar friends. Buds?
