Random: or the Interconnectedness of Things



Every morning I look to see what's on my camera from the day before,
 since I try to post really current things - however dull.
 It is better to have a theme for a post  -like "A Day at the Beach"
but life tends to be a bit random -- one makes the connections later.





Yesterday morning lots of fire trucks rushed to a hotel
 on the other side of the road
 but it must have been a false alarm.



In the evening, I tidied my desk so I could close it.
 All sorts of interesting bits and pieces in there:
 the  business card
from the shop where Buster's collar came from
 and matches from India.



In the afternoon a cat slyly observed us on 22nd Street.



This morning, at six o'clock, the moon was still up.


Robert Frost suggested that 'way leads on to way.'
So here is the path:
men in uniform lead to mailman
black cat leads to black cat behind bars
bars lead to bars on the roof of the building
over which we see the moon

  4. Wow, I love those matches, Elizabeth. WT brings matches back from everywhere he goes. But, I've not seen any quite so cool as yours!

    My post today has to do with interconnectedness. Is that a word?

  8. Fun random connections. Liked the business card from the pet shop especially. I saw that moon this morning. It looked like a big pizza crust waiting for a layer of tomato sauce and toppings.

  10. I think that my screen is sometimes not very clear- I missed the black kitty for awhile - loved the curtains and the scroll iron work of the window- the kitty rather got lost. Packaging is everything- lOVE the card and matches!
    You actually clear your desk? I am envious of that sort of order.

  11. It took me a while to find that cat!

    I love finding unexpected and charming bits in my desk . . . or handbag or pockets.

    I can't believe that there is still such a solid moon at 6 am! Perhaps I should rise earlier and check for myself?
