THINGS YOU SEE...

Heidy-Ho, Blogging Buddies!!

Hope you all polished off that Turkey-Lurkey and managed to do so with NO weight gain!!

So... over the past couple of months, I have taken a photo or two of things I found interesting.  One or two don't a post make... but a FEW photos?!?  Well, that's post-worthy.

Just wanted to show you these items with my comments.  Perhaps you have your own?  Please feel free to use them!

Recently, one of the cable channels showed "The Mist", a film based on a Stephen King book by the same name.  The movie was done very well and, as do most of King's plots, scared the bejeezus out of me!  As I took my morning stroll early one morning, you can imagine there was a considerable amount of hesitation on my part before I forged ahead into "the mist" that lay before me!!  If you haven't read the book and/or seen the movie, do it one evening when television is terrible and you don't want to have to think!
Looks a little scary down the road.
Whoa!!  This is really spooky!

Maybe I should just turn around here?
Obviously, I survived it and none of those nasty "creatures" resided in this mist.

On another morning walk, there had been a substantial amount of moisture in the air and I happened upon one of the most lovely webs I've seen.  Had to get a shot of that!  Hope you can see the detail that the water droplets brought out.
Really amazing stuff!
On another day, I was downtown and noticed a police escort setting up at one of the lights.  Thought I would wait it out to see what was going on... and even though I SAW, I still don't KNOW what I saw!  LOL!!  Anyone with information or even a good guess as to what I was looking at when I took the next picture is welcome to educate me!
Tenova brings up a lot of different things in Google!!  Still don't know what I saw here!
Finally, sometimes one simply happens across something completely unexpected.  I was driving on a road I take many times each week.  I crested a slight hill and immediately saw this couple along the curb to my right.  It was just so much fun, I felt compelled to find a place to turn around and return so I could catch this quick picture for you all.  Quite honestly, I think this photo speaks to the substantial manufacture of products back in the '50s and '60s!!  These clearly were not "throwaway" products.  Nope.  They were designed for YEARS of use... and held up quite nicely.  I salute them and the workers who made them!
Lining up for the last hurrah...
And so, I leave you with these things you see... with no real explanation as to why any of them found themselves in front of my camera at that given moment in time... but glad they did so I could share with you!

Until next post...
