Things That Look Strange

In the past I have posted about beautiful things. Now I will post about strange looking things.

This a sock and shoe combination that would make my mother squirm. I went out in public looking like that. I thought it was great.



These are globe thistles. They are quite bizarre looking. I think they are one of my favourites.

These are the cattails that Pam and I cut from the ditches and hung on the line to dry. She'll use them in the autumn for fall arrangements. They made me think of the black keys on pianos, hanging there on the line, bobbing in the wind.

This tree has a face on it.

And remember the Queen Anne's Lace?

This is what it's like when it goes to seed:


It's like a birds nest. Or a teacup.

And this isn't strange at all. Just beautiful.

It is the golden glow that grows by the granary. I'm told people used to plant this around their outhouses.

Tomorrow we're doing something very exciting which I will tell you about later. I hope you can bear the suspense.

Happy Friday night.
