Sunny Sunday walk

March 17th, 2008

031608 - Allie & linens

Some things I saw on a late afternoon walk yesterday afternoon around our neighborhood in Ann Arbor. (Okay, so that one above may not technically have been taken on our walk, but if Allie could have come with us, he’d have given up his sunny spot on clean sheets in a heartbeat.)

031608 - Turtle 1

Turtles seemed to be something of a theme…

031608 - Turtle 2

…sunning themselves on rocks.

031608 Turtle 3

Perhaps this last one’s pushing the theme a tad, but it seemed sad to leave it out.

031608 - Water pump station

Above is a very cool building near our house, a series of small-scale lofts nestled just off the street. The building used to be some kind of water station pump thingie. I’m big on details.

031608 - Mulholland Ave

One of my favorite streets, Mulholland Avenue, with its pretty painted houses.

031608 - Mailbox

A bright and cheery mailbox.

031608 - Thingie & Branch

A curious yard ornament against a yellow house.

031608 - Bench

A sunny spot to sit under a tree.

031608 - Boxes

Two silver boxes on a blue sideboard on a porch. Did I mention I love this town, especially on foot? I’ll never run out of cool little things to notice.

    I like your photographs, but having been a native of Michigan most of my life, what is so unusual about these? Are they not found where you came from? Or are you just extolling on the ordinary?

    I’m not sure there’s anything unusual about them. I just take photographs of things I like. I definitely enjoy noticing the small things I might otherwise overlook. I’m not sure they need more meaning than that.

    I see. I thought it was sort of a ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’ sort of situation, especially when you were commenting on our snowstorms and the fallout from them thereof. It has been an odd year with the on again/off again snow tap.
