“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.
We were going to use it
Waiting for garbage day pick-up.
Do you know someone who purchased exercise equipment and regretted it later?
Or joined a gym and after an initial effort, quit going BUT failed to resign so paid a monthly fee for years? Hmmmmmmm
Target – making it easy to be green
Waiting for recycle truck pick-up, New York City. Sent by my sister 7-4-16 via cell phone.
What a great find. Thanks, Mary.
Saw the clean-outs on the curb and thought I should do the same- tackle my third floor and basement! Take it to the curb
Blogging curbside in Bloomfield after breakfast.
Today’s idea for a post was Laura’s. She’s the one who spotted the bottle of OJ by the Halloween candy display.
“This should be a blog.” she said, when we came across another example.
Once you start noticing the items out of place, they are EVERYWHERE!
Look as you go around a store and you will find your own examples.
People change their minds when they shop, sure. But placing a refrigerated item on a shelf across the store?
At least take it to the register and state, “I decided to not buy this after all” and it can be reshelved appropriately.
And then there are those who litter the shelves. With garbage.
Good point, Mary.
Now I get it!
Two hour delay for school this morning. Teachers to report on time or as close to it as they can, safely. I was making it!
I drove by “the find”. but when I got to the top of the intersection by school, I turned around on the snowy hill and went back and captured what I saw in the trash.
Snow on a discarded cat tree started my day.
The snow on the cat tree shapes caught my eye.
Across the street( from my second turn around) I saw these windshield wipers standing at attention.
Then on the way home from school, I thought I’d see how my favorite tree in the nearby park was looking with the snow on the branches. Looks identical to my other photos of this particular tree in the park when it snows but I felt happy it was there.
I like it when a color photograph looks black and white
The snowman was a bonus and I even got out of my car and trudged through about 6 inches to find him with sunglsses, branches for arms and a carrot nose. As my friend V, who had been shoveling earlier, said “The snow is perfect to make a snowman.”
How the light changes throughout the day. When I got home, The Mary statue I rescued from someone’s trash a few years ago had a halo of fresh snow. She was painted by the puppeteer, Laura O.
Our Lady in the Snow
