Interesting things I saw that are only stored in my brain

I saw a gorgeous patch of tall yellow tulips when stopped at a red light.

A vehicle that was briefly in front of me (made a turn) has a design that feels to me like it could hover over the road. No brand insignia, I have no idea the name of the maker.

Waiting for my Dunkin at the drive-thru, I saw a man at a pump holding a bag of chips in his hand. He was just chewing away like he hasn’t had a meal all day. Handsome, light scruffy whiskers, I thought that has to be thee most beautiful and earnest chewing I’ve ever seen. It belongs in a movie. 

Waiting at a road construction stop, I watched a field of tall grass waving in the wind. The pattern follows the plowed rows. The scene reminds me of the 1985 Harrison Ford film, “Witness.” As I recall, the movie opens with a windy tall grass field. 

Glancing towards Lake Champlain, I saw the evidence of brisk winds in the many white caps. 

I didn’t make my usual stop to take photographs today. At home, I realize there’s no pictures to edit. That feels weird to have that sense of separation from a lens.

  4. People watching is the best! When the RC and I were dating we didn't have much money so our idea of a great date was to go to a big mall and find a bench and just sit and watch people. Endlessly entertaining.

      That is so romantic. I think you can learn a lot about a person that way.
