I went to Cypressmede Park to look for signs of spring wildflowers. There were the glimmerings of little shoots here and there. This little Red-backed Salamander was a pleasant find on a warm early spring day.
On the other side of the fence, Mr. Zoom and I crossed the street to get a better look at the building from which we'd just escaped. I was happy to see that Mr. Z's eyes were clear again. He asked if I still had the paper I'd pulled out of the one-fingered hand. I patted the pockets of my pants. Yes! But only part of it.
We stood huddled together, trying to find a clue in the words. If we were to believe the Statue of Liberty, Demi only had to look for the signs to find her other half. Originally we were just humoring Demi, helping her with her quest. But now we felt that if we followed the signs we might find her.
Part of a headline remained. We read it together at the same time...out loud.
ines Contribute to City's Demi (and the paper was torn here)
Huh? City's Demise was a good guess as to the rest of the headline. But what about the beginning?
A bit of wind ruffled the paper in my hand and my eyes were struck by the words etched in the sidewalk.
IN DIRECT LINE WITH ANOTHER and THE NEXT.
Mr. Zoom and I looked at each other, puzzled, and in a way, more frightened than we were with the Bruce Lee look-alike bearing down on us. Could the partial headline and these odd words have a connection to each other....and to Demi?

Does anyone else's head hurt?
This is the continuing story of Demi Less and her quest to find her other half. The quest has led her...and us, from Virginia to New York City. If you are just joining us, you might want to read Part 1. Start at the last photo and move forward.

I so should have taken this sighting of a buzzard high up in a dead tree at the beginning of the trail as a sign and not walked down it a week ago today. But it was called the Woodland Trail with a promise of an overlook where we Might see ponies and I thought... Woodland would indicate a nice shady walk under thick full trees. Right? Wrong! The temps in the early morning were as cool as they would be all day (upper 80's). Out in the bright, HOT sun we trudged along. I tried to pretend I wasn't melting. I haven't done all that much walking since the hip replacement either. Hot sun and Mosquitos! I was pretty sure they had plans to carry me off. We had gone about a half a mile in these conditions when we met a bicyclist coming toward us so we asked how much further and she said... "Oh just a little ways". Well a little ways to someone on a bike and a little ways to someone walking can be two very different things indeed! I went around the next curve and saw no end insight. I just stopped in the middle of the oven baking road and looked at Anita and said.... "That's it. I'm done! no pony or bird is worth this torture!" at which point about 20 mosquitoes landed on each bare leg and began feasting. If I could have run I would have! Eventually I was able to drag myself back all the while keeping Anita in laughter with my comments about sweating and heat and how we were all going to die out there in the wilderness. Happily I Did survive it all and we were able to go look for the ponies elsewhere having never seen one on this trail and no birds either except one dove and one cowbird! Well, it's cooler today and we are off adventuring! Have a wonderful, mosquito free day everyone! :)
An odd assortment of horizontal and vertical lines in the advertising when I looked up from getting gas.
A collection of signs found in the Old Railway Workshops when they closed down. They now form part of the permanent exhibition at The Museum at Inveresk in Launceston. Walker Evans would have loved them.

Did an Urbex trip into Detroit recently.
4 years and counting, since this #cocacola ghost sign was revealed when the building next to it was torn down. I figured the sign was from the 1930s. Slowly the building is falling apart with graffiti showing up inside the structuring. Not sure what those red painted areas are, since they did not exist four years ago. Maybe someone painted over some offensive tagging.
