Table in the bar, with candle

On Wednesdays my friends and I meet for drinks after work. We usually get the big sofa in the corner, but on this particular Wednesday, it was occupied by someone else.
That wasn’t as bad as I thought: it gave me a not-noticed-before view of this little table.

PS – OF COURSE you’re invited to join us. Maybe today we can reclaim the sofa.

Across town, in a new commercial development, I found a nice set of rectangles.
Have I mentioned lately that I am indeed fond of a good rectangle?

This was a remarkably well-ordered picnic site, with two tables, a grille, and a trash barrel all lined up more or less on that little island. I am pretty sure the barrel on the right is making sure they stay in formation.

Just because I felt like it*, I rented a camera for a week, and to feel like I was getting my money’s worth, I took it everywhere. I used to do that with my regular camera, but got out of the habit.
I went to the park (which you saw here and which you’ll see again tomorrow). There were lots of things to see, because I was looking on purpose for things to shoot. I used to that a lot, too, but got out of the habit.
So an unexpected consequence of the rented camera was a reminder that I’d gotten lazy, and was missing a lot of subjects as a result. That made a week’s rental an especially good bargain.

*or, to translate into Texan, I had a hankering.
