abandoned furniture – Ruth E. Hendricks

Fabulous Find in Spain- a Guest Blog

I received this fabulous photo and message from fellow blogger Darlene Foster. (You can click her name to visit her blog. )

Thank you for thinking of me, Darlene. International abandoned furniture made my day!

“It was on Calle Cerise in Orihuela Costa. Calle Cerise means Cherry Street in English. I was on my early morning dog walk when I saw this abandoned red couch by a garbage bin. I immediatly thought of Ruth and quickly snapped a picture while the dogs waited impatiently.” Darlene

Darlene Foster is the author of the Amanda Travel books series that my granddaughters enjoy reading. Prema especially loved Amanda on the Danube as they were living right next to the river

It’s Been a While

Tuesday morning on the way to breakfast with my friend Vincie, spotted this couch on the curb. I pulled over in the next block, got out and took the photo.

She asked me what’s with the attraction of photographing the abandoned furniture? These discards?

It’s hard to explain in words but I can tell you they make me feel something.

I think if the furniture could speak, there would be many stories.

I realize they are inanimate objects, unwanted and worn out.

They can’t speak so I have to use my imagination of what they have seen and endured.

Pittsburgh and Columbus have the most couches at the curbs. Chairs, too.

Sit a Spell, Curbside

Laura sent me this photo she took in Columbus, Ohio. It’s a good one.

I appreciate my family and friends seeing curbside discards, thinking of me and sharing a photo. I love the light on this one.
