Interesting Things and Those That Make You Look Twice

I have heard that many of my readers enjoy a little prose while some of you prefer a just-the-facts approach.  Without a doubt, though, you all seem to want pictures!

On occasion, I have taken my camera on a walkabout to see what I can find.  Admittedly, I live in "Americatown" (as I have penned it), so cultural anomalies are fewer to be found.  I always have my iPhone with me, and hopefully I can stealthily ready it to capture the moment that makes me have a second look.

There is a human element that I long to capture, but I am too conscious of offending to take the photo.  I asked a beautiful old woman wearing a straw hat last week if I could take her picture.  I pointed at the camera then at her and she was all smiles, until I raised it to my face.  David says I need  to stand on the other side of the road with a big lens...just not there yet.  For now, here is a small collection.  Oftentimes, the moment is gone before I have a camera in my hand, but enjoy!

They take their TCM very seriously

This was a sock store in a children's clothing market
Piece of bamboo, some branches and wire...you have a broom!
































Then I realized that I could publish a whole post about the use of bicycles!

Look very carefully by the front tire.  He has a turtle hanging from a rope...dinner?


Every bicycle seat needs a sweater...
Not the most secure of baby seats, but a baby seat, nonetheless
I don't think the blender will replace pedal power.

This is not the largest load of Styrofoam I've seen hauled this way.
