Found object during daily dog walk. Passed this thing for a week before finally picking it up and photographing it. I was impressed by the flatness of a previously round, volumetric object.

This note was caught up on some blackberry bushes near the Richmond Bike Park.

One of my all time personal favorites :-) This was made after I got out of the hospital last year after the heart attack. I know that everyone there meant to be kind, but it got to be wearisome to be told over and over how 'young' and 'great' I looked.... when this was how I was feeling inside lol!

It also occurs to me that this represents how I feel all the time! It can be difficult even to convince my doctors to take me seriously since to them I 'don't look sick'! :-)

Just working on better shots/different angles etc...

I found this today, the first of October. What an awesome way to start the month. Unfortunately, somebody had already taken the free unicorn. dang it. always a day late and a dollar short!
