walk v. ride

I haven’t been out making new photos lately – other stuff has taken priority, etc. But luckily I have a gigantic archive of photos that I never got around to editing.

So, anyway, today kicks off a little series that I’ll call When I Went To Boston.

The way the part-of-a-person seems to be striding so confidently past the row of bikes makes me laugh and you probably know by now that if a photo makes me laugh, I’m gonna eventually post it…

liberty + rules

Let’s go ahead and call this folk art, because I’m not what else it might be.

The Statue of Liberty is made from a stump of one of the town trees that died; it was carved by a regionally-famous chainsaw carver.

I don’t hate it – in fact I really like repurposing the old metal tank to make sort of a retablo. But I am not a fan of the giant ten commandments over there in the background. But if you feel the need to go read them yourself, here’s Helpful Hint: there’s a spotlight on them so you don’t even have to race sundown with the short December days and all.

And, finally, here’s a Fun Fact: all of this has been assembled by the town’s mayor.

Chuck Norris found seasonal work

I’m as surprised as you are that Chuck Norris has taken a seasonal job as Joseph in a roadside nativity scene.

But if you think WE are surprised, check out Mary; apparently when she got the news it was so shocking that it made her head break open.

PS: Also, this is literally Jesus of Nazareth.

I almost talked myself out of posting this. It’s uncomfortable to look at and even worse to think about. (Plus the spelling errors…)

But of course I realized those are reasons TO post it, so here it is.

(I did find out a few details about this situation and they are pretty much what you’d expect them to be.)
