On my walk through the neighborhood today I noticed this.
Last year, the same street looked like this.
Yes. The municipal authorities are obviously fed up with trees parking on the sidewalks and have taken measures to prevent it.
It clearly works as I did not see any illegally parked trees on my way home.
On my walk through the neighborhood today I saw this.
Yes, a blue-eyed crocodile about to eat a gas pipe.
I pointed it out to the tall person and he smiled and said that it reminded him of something that Steve Irwin, the famous Australian wildlife expert, once said about crocodiles, “There are 23 species. Seventeen of those species are rare or endangered. They’re on the way out, no matter what anyone does or says, you know”.
Hmm. I’m not surprised they are endangered if they insist upon eating gas pipes.
On my walk through the neighborhood today I found this.
Yes. Someone has stolen my street! I pointed it out to the tall person and he said that perhaps road builders from another neighborhood had run out of road and needed part of ours.
Hmm. I understand that it is sometimes necessary to borrow things but I think this approach to road construction is unsustainable in the longer term.
On my walk through the neighborhood today I found a row of still life subjects waiting patiently for paint.
I think they have been waiting for a long time.
I pointed them out to the tall person and asked him why no one had painted these wonderful subjects. He shook his head sadly and agreed that they deserve some special attention. He said that seeing them reminded him of something that George Bernard Shaw once said: “Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course”.
Hmm. A useful quotation tall person and one which clearly emphasizes the importance of doors in art.
On my walk through the neighborhood this morning I saw this.
A truck bowed its head in greeting. I bowed mine in return. It is so refreshing to encounter politeness and good manners.
On my walk through the neighborhood today I saw this.
Yes. Sleeping bags for sleepy trees. What a great idea!
The tall person told me that he had seen a painting of a Georgian tree. He knows I like art so he agreed to take me to see it. I must admit it was not what I had expected.
I asked the tall person why the tree had been painted and he said that it was probably because the tree had strayed onto the road and the white paint would help drivers avoid it at night.
Hmm. Silly tree. It should have stayed on the sidewalk.
On my walk through the neighborhood today I saw this.
I pointed it out to the tall person and he smiled and said that Aladdin should be more careful – he lost his magic lamp and now he has lost his shoe!
Hmm. Aladdin must be hopping mad.
On my walk through the neighborhood today I saw this strange sight.
The car was obviously so full that the other passengers had to hold on to the outside. One man was obviously tired and was desperately trying to get in but it looked too full to me. I’m afraid you will have to keep running mister.
