Odd Bits















After I had finished packing for my trip to Glimmerglass, I went for a walk, and found the crumpled trash can on the edge of the curb.  I like the lovely destruction.  The trash can is old. It may have been used to burn garden waste, which would explain the holes.  It's finished now, probably crushed under a truck.

I decided to take pictures of man-made objects, like this fire alarm with its eave and cornice..   



















But as soon as I reached M.K's garden I could not resist taking a shot of her tomatoes.  She grows them in enriched soil, which she buys and piles in tee-shirts stretched over wire, neck-down.   She uses this method because the ground may be contaminated with lead.  The yield is tremendous and heathy.  Not a bit of rot, even in these weeks of swampy weather. 

Her dahlias are flourishing among the sedums.
