recent random photos-

some random photos from the last week or so:

a grate (or drain?) in the sidewalk that caught my eye- 
this pattern would make a neat stencil!


election season humor- Salmon Roe, hahaha!!
 Someone named Salmon running for Congress, 
and someone else named Roe running for city council. 
(Somehow I don't think their signs were put next to 
each other by the candidates!)  

amber waves of grain (fields of corn, almost ready to harvest) 
and purple mountains majesty (the Estrella Mountains)... 
on my afternoon commute home from work. 

 doodled details on a journal page- 
paint pens and black permanent ink


more doodles on the same page- 
white and black pen details on gray acrylic paint
(I've been into these 'pod' shapes lately)

an 'Olympic' soda display at the local grocery 
store- these kinds of displays are so neat! 
(I imagine the delivery guys who have to create 
them don't like them quite so much, though...)

thanks for the comments, guys; I enjoy blog visitors! I also do enjoy looking for those 'interesting bits' in my daily life; sometimes I get out of the habit, and feel like something's missing.

Desert Mermaid, we live in the town of Maricopa, so we'd probably be considered the extreme southern edge of the Valley.
