Parking (270/365)

I don't believe in angels, no. But I do have a wee parking angel. It's on my dashboard and you wind it up. The wings flap and it's supposed to give you a parking space. It's worked so far.

I don't have a parking angel, but I do have a reserved parking spot at work. This past weekend they resurfaced and repainted the lot.

Although seldom do you see caterpillars dead on the grill of a car. Squished under the tires maybe ... but seldom on the grill of a car!

Odd title for this photo, don't you think? Here is the story ...

As I was leaving work Friday I was looking for a photo that would capture the storm we had. I don't usually consider what people will think when I'm taking photos, I mean, I have a camera - what else would I be doing?

Up drives the President of the company. Calling this guy an egocentric douchebag would be a compliment. He slows down as he approaches me. Honestly? This guy never even acknowledges me 98% of the time. As he slows down he rolls his window down and asks (quite sternly), "What are you doing?"

I've got a camera in my hand - I'm pointing it at things and snapping shots - what do you think I'm doing?? OK, I didn't say that, but instead responded with, "Don't mind me - I'm just taking a few shots trying to capture the storm."

To which he replied, "You aren't a terrorist are you?"

It would have been funny ... except he was serious ...

Patch (113/365)

“The smallest patch of green to arrest the monotony of asphalt and concrete is as important to the value of real estate as streets, sewers and convenient shopping.”
~ James Felt

PLACE: Cubicle Hell Parking Lot
SUBJECT: Patch

We are now reaching the point where it's highly unlikely (although still possible) that we'll have another hard freeze. The grass takes quite a beating in Podunk. Between the frigid winter and the plow blades, there are quite a few spots needing a little patch. Reseeding is a beautiful thing!
