dark alley
Maybe it’s just the way my brain works, but that pvc pipe working its way up the passageway and into the darkness feels rather umbilical.
Additionally, I don’t want to admit to how many different ways I tried to spell “umbilical” before I got it right. I think there might be something wrong with my keyboard.

butterfly/garden
I walked out after lunch to an absolute flurry of butterflies; it’s been a long time since I’ve seen more than two or three at once and I think there are fifteen or so in this image.

conjoined twins
These concrete cherubs were doing hard work holding up one end of a bench. Maybe their task was made easier by the thin spider web that connected them.

the land of complicated signage
If you want in, here is a comprehensive list of steps to take to gain access. I like how it says “get me” without any clue as to who “me” might be.
I saw signs like this (and they were always hand written) in several store windows in Chickasha; it was almost like someone was pranking me. There was one sign that gave about eight complicated things to do to get to a framing shop. Another one listed the price and all the color options for something called Petticoat County Western Lingerie, with the added note that the price was firm. And one at an antique store tried very hard to convince shoppers that their Christmas platters would be the perfect gift.
Oh, and please notice my restraint in not even mentioning the missing apostrophe there where it says Mitzys.
