What I Found This Afternoon

It was a beautiful day. Day one of seriously trying to walk a good two miles. Everyday? that’s the plan. Laura said “No browsing or stopping to take a photograph! No dead couches!!!”

But there I was, pushing a stroller with my nine month old grandson Roy. And here’s what I found a few blocks after I started my walk. I could not resist.

Abandoned furniture, ready for pick-up. A couch AND a love seat.

Seen Better Days

My friend M said this couch has been in this spot for a long time.

Important Work

A very busy trash week.

One More for the Collection

You know I couldn’t resist pulling over, parking my car, getting out and photographing the loveseat/couch.

The rain had stopped. I was on Penn Avenue just past Children’s Hospital and I saw it. It’s not like I’m driving around the city looking for discarded furniture. It’s just there!

Mary always says, take the pic when you see it as later it might be gone. Good advice.

Curbside Service

Pull up a stool

Working From Home?

Looks like an office chair, curbside.

You know I can’t resist photographing these items.

Outdoor Seating Friendship Ave Two Views

You know I had to drive around, pull over to the curb and lift my phone for the shots.

Free! Works great. Take me. Guest Blog

Maura was in the passenger seat and captured this discard for me.

Ecru Couch Going and Coming

Another one for the collection. Garbage collection.

Laura was driving. I sat in the back seat on the left side on the way to the pool.

On the way home I sat in the passenger front seat. It was quick as she drove by.

I’d rolled the windows down.

I’d spotted the discarded couch earlier that afternoon but there was no place safe to take the shot. I knew we were going to drive that direction later d was hoping the garbage truck didn’t get there first.

Thanks Laura.

Going to the pool via Broadway
Oh my, there it was. On the way home.
I was so excited to capture it in the frame as we drove by. It would not have been convenient to ask her to drive around the block.
Too soon
