like a rug on a wire
Look! Here’s a rug that was stabbed onto the top wire of a barbed-wire fence. I can’t image why, but how about that color pallette?

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.

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.)

not the kind of night i am used to
I spent a little bit of time the other day looking back at photos I’d made in Nova Scotia almost a decade ago. Initially I thought this one was too dark or too blue or something and so I never edited it. Maybe it was my mood when I rediscovered it, but that blue really appealed to me this time around.
