    Wow! What an amazing gift! All these images are incredible, forcing me to slow down and really drink them in, one at a time. But for some reason I was completely arrested by “Rock and Window.” Mind blowing!

      Thank you, Russ! I really appreciate it. That rock was in my building’s garage window and I always admired it and finally photographed it. Soon after, someone took the rock. Sad. I was so glad to have documented this extraordinary everyday scene. 🙂

    terrific images: I love ‘Blind Ambition’, partly because of its clever caption and the zig zaggy lines on the stone steps. I’m a follower 🙂

    I enjoyed the images Jane. I wrote something to almost all of them. I liked them all. They were very interesting. You definitely have an eye for the unusual. I particularly lke Blind Ambition as well, because of the title. Great work.

    Thanks Mitch for sharing. 📷📸

    The fork is my own favorite among these mundane miracles.  Increased sensitivity to such things is a partial consolation for the limitations of getting old.
