Mirror Lake Saturday late afternoon.
I was on my way to pick up Maura from Synchronized Swim Camp. I pulled over and rolled down my window. After I picked her up we drove by again. The sun was gone by that time. Glad I caught it when I saw it. Elusive light.
Laura and James and Charlie’s neighborhood.
I’ve noticed a tremendous increase in Halloween decorations in Pittsburgh, too.
Guess people are feeling the spirits?
Do you have one in your home? Do you have a door that will swing shut if it isn’t held open with a doorstopper? We used to have a cast iron iron.
I saw a window full of vintage door stoppers, mostly painted cast iron. There are animals, people, flowers. Gnomes. Right now I use a concrete (or is it cement?) owl. I bought the owl in a gallery in Mansfield Ohio.
People collect them. Vintage and Antique Doorstoppers or door porters as they are called are written up in Collectors weekly

On Wednesday, when I was filling my gas tank in Connecticut, this sign caught me eye. There were more warning signs on the fence around the dumpster out back.
You know I’ll drive around the block to photograph an abandoned couch or chair.
A toilet or two. More images for the collection.
These two pieces of furniture were found in a single day as I was driving through Connecticut on Wednesday September 29th. .
