CORNER Ben H. at WordPress created the weekly photo challenge
La Esquina, New York City 114 Kenmare Street, Soho – seemed a perfect response.
I was standing catty-corner(ed), watching traffic whiz by, taking a few photographs when I was visiting my sister.
I’m not in NYC today- from the archives.
“What about you: what is guaranteed to distract you? What is your “Ooh, shiny!”?Weekly Photo Challenge
Garbage. Unexpected.
I’m fascinated by trash. Litter, too. Funny thing is, I find it difficult to throw things away. Here are previously featured found garbage photos. I even did a Garbology post. “the study of a community or culture by analyzing its waste.”
Here’s a sample of my photos of cat trees, toilets, chairs, aquarium, couches, champagne bottles, old televisions.

Plitvička Lakes National Park Croatia
Click above link for a virtual tour.
The waterfalls and pools are everywhere you look. We took the boardwalk you see from the aerial view photo, a bus on winding roads with no guard rail through the forests and a boat ride on a glacial lake. Good photos for water and earth, but no fire.
Erica V. at WordPress writes about the photo challenge she created- elemental
“For this week’s challenge, explore the classical elements of earth, air, water, and fire. How do you capture something invisible like air, or the movement of water?”

Funnel Cake
I try to keep the blog in real time but these images are from the archives.
My bowl of ice cream with the fresh peach and triple ginger cookies from yesterday got me thinking about how desserts satisfy.
I photographed these desserts in Ohio.
I didn’t eat it myself but the the satisfaction factor was there for the nice woman who bought it and ate it (after she let me shoot it!)
and here is another person’s funnel cake – unadorned – well, a dusting of powdered sugar
