This is what happens when you spend $10,000 on a deck made from TREX. This deck is only two years old and is literally disintegrating, we’ve been in contact with the TREX company and they refuse to honor their, so-called, 20 year unlimited warranty. They insist that we buy new TREX material (and only TREX if we wanted to replace it with redwood they wouldn’t cover it) out of our own pocket, pay for labor out of our own pocket and then apply for reimbursement for the cost of material only they won’t pay for the labor to reinstall the deck.
We are currently part of a class action law suit that has been filed against the TREX company.
I am currently producing a video about my deck and my experiences with TREX and TREX company to be posted on Youtube.
I've had these Sketchers Shape-ups for some years but haven't worn them for some time. So, I decided to wear them now.
One batch of photos is after I walked a mile in them to the Chinese take-out. The second batch is after I walked back home. (On Flickr, if you select to see them with most recent photos first, you'll see the batch after I got home first).
The foam mid-soles are rotting away. Pieces crumbling and falling off. They are still wearable, but I won't wear them in the house, I keep find bits of foam rubber all over the carpet.
It will be interesting to see how they feel as they continue to disintegrate. They have always felt different as they have a negative heel lift.

tarpaulin sack buried in the sand. This bag would eventually degrade into smaller microplastics which may be consumed by other critters and enter our food web. In this case, one can also see the distinct split hooves of wild boar foraging around for food amidst the trash. Which is yet another reminder that we live in a connected ecosystem.

This afternoon I was in town for a whole pile of appointments, and when I had some spare time, I wandered out on to the waterfront since it was a stunning day.
With my fisheye lens in hand, this caught my eye.

"I think it's dark and it looks like rain"
You said
"And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world"
You said
"And it's so cold
It's like the cold if you were dead"
And then you smiled
For a second
"I think I'm old and I'm feeling pain"
You said
Sometimes you make me feel
Like I'm living at the edge of the world
Like I'm living at the edge of the world
"It's just the way I smile"

This disintegrating wreck has been located on the shore of Bembridge Harbour, The Duver for decades; and I imagine will be a permanent fixture forever.

This was in an old disintegrating album I found with my grandmother's collection of photos, but I have no way of knowing whether these are family or acquaintances or what. If these are part of my grandmother's family, then they are probably from Michigan or Pennsylvania, my grandmother's roots. However, she spent years researching her family; to my knowledge, she identified and labeled all of her family photos. So what are these???

Thin strip of beach between the cliff face and water of Lake Ontario at Chimney Bluffs. The bluffs are a drumlin that's being eroded by the lake. The drumlin is made up of an aggregate of clay, sand, pebbles, cobbles, boulders, etc.
I've struggled with this photo since it was taken, trying to create a good final image. The light was striking that evening with a clear sky. I liked the relief of the water eroded sand created by the low angle of the sun. This is Lake Ontario's high water mark where it is undermining the drumlin. I'm drawn to this delineation at Chimney Bluffs where the aggregate that makes up the hill is being sorted by size from sand particles to boulders.
I got down low with a wide angle lens to include detail in the sand and the distant monument at the west end of the bluffs.
The final image was changed very little from what was captured. I increased the contrast of the sand slightly to emphasize the water patterns. I warmed up the image overall to match my perception of the late evening light hitting the reddish earth.

This little leaf is disintegrating! It's caused by some sort of fungus if I remember correctly, but it looks so pretty!

(17th October 2011) - The mini drama of the disintegrating bag was finally finished today as I went to Diesel and bought myself a lovely new leather bag.
Walking back to the bus stop, I took the miniest of mini detours and walked around St. Ann's Square for a bit, looking for some photo inspiration. And I found it!
This memorial is dedicated to the Manchester Regiment who fought in the South African War. The inscription around the side of the memorial reads: "To the memory of the following officers non-commisd officers and men who fell in the war in South Africa 1899-1902 gallantly serving their sovereign & country." (Info taken from: www.nmbs2001.com/id25.html)
And that's something else I've found myself doing when I've got a camera in my hand - actually looking up and seeing what's around me. I've walked through St. Ann's Square hundreds of times but never really bothered to pay attention to this memorial (or anything else around there). I'm hoping to discover more of Manchester this way.
