Yesterday, we went to a nearby antique mall because I wanted to get some new photos. Pickings were unfortunately pretty basic and slim, so I only ended up with a few.
The one I’ll be sharing today is this 18" high barbwire ball sculpture. It caught my attention for two reasons; it was on the floor in the path of travel, and I was wearing shorts and not paying attention to the floor. Yes. It’s real barbwire. Apparently we do stuff like this in Colorado.
Your ball of barbed wire reminded me of something…
I have seen this in the real world—it’s in my neighborhood in Minneapolis—though I don’t have my own photo to post, so I’m linking to photos taken by other people. It’s a real bird’s nest made of wire, that was found during the reconstruction of my local public library branch. It’s in a vitrine on display right near the front entrance, opposite the check-out desk. It’s so charming that I always stop and look at it for a while and think about the birds that made it.
This is an older photo from my camera roll. We have a hamburger joint in town called Freddy’s Steakburgers. I don’t know how far ranging they are, but I’m certain they aren’t local, so you may be familiar with them.
Awhile back they started advertising “The Great American Funnel Cake Sundae”. The first time I saw the advertisement, I was greatly amused. I’m sure most people just saw this:
Wow, you have the best stuff. My local charity shops never have anything that bonkers.
OTOH, at least it means I don’t end up in arguments with my wife about whether we really need a bear with a straw hat and a parasol (in a pony carriage?).
I’m starting to feel like I’m posting in this thread way too often compared to anyone else. I’m trying to keep it down to once a day or so. Should I keep going, or give it a rest?
