From around Nashville - March 2010

I hadn't planned on snapping photos during my walk today, but the flowering tree at the corner was beautiful, and then there was a magnolia with such luscious petals several blocks later, and my brain was unknotting itself from its must-do lists and snatches of Chess in Concert and not-yet-solidified poems-in-progress...

...and then I remembered Lori-Lyn's 8
Things Observed By Me post from last week, and my brain happily decided to wheel along in that groove for a while. Which I meant that I paid extra attention to:

1. A patient doggie:


2. A multicolored fire hydrant:


3. The illustrations on a local bbq joint:


4. The things on the dashboards of parked cars, such as this child's painting:


Several streets away, on another dashboard, there was a program for the funeral of a young man. :-(

5. Monsieur Snake, chilling out on the corner of a driveway:

6. A man walking his dog looking at me strangely after I stood back up (since he couldn't see the snake from across the street, I guess - I probably looked like I was photographing the sidewalk for no reason at all).

7. A lost purple glove that seems to have taken up semi-permanent residence on a nearby wall:

8. A kid at the library wearing an All-State Band t-shirt.
