Nearly every other person who passed this bike wheel stopped to check it out. From Chinatown.

Awesome! Congrats to the newlyweds!

Sculpture or Trash?

A friend of mine, who is actually an artist, says trash – I, who have zero artistic skills, think it’s art. What say you – sculpture or trash?

Is this Tree Dying?

This tree on 17th St, NW has me absolutely mesmerized. To be honest I think it looks amazing. Though I took field botany in college, I’m a bit rusty – does anyone know if this bark pattern indicates that the tree is ill? If it is, do you know if it can be saved?

Door of the Day/Ordinary or Extraordinary?

I was transfixed by the age of this carriage house door.

Think it’s really old or just weather damaged?

Ordinary or Extraordinary?

It’s been a while since I’ve posted an ‘ordinary or extraordinary’ post but I was mesmerized by this tree bark on 14th St, NW in Columbia Heights. I’m not sure if it was because of the rain or the prodigious amounts of Irish whiskey I had consumed to stay warm in said rain but I couldn’t take my eyes away from this bark:

Lawn Decoration of the Day

At first I just thought this was a pot turned over and actually that very well may be what it is, but the colors are quite striking.

I swear I wasn’t sniffing glue or doing anything of that nature when I spotted this tree. Tell me you see it? The eyes, the nose, the mouth?  I’ve walked past this tree 1000 times and never noticed it before. It is located between Mt. P and Cleveland Park on Porter Street. So cool. It’s nice to report some happier tree news…

Never underestimate the power of trees. I thought this was such a wild sight. It looks like the roots just busted through the brick wall. Totally wild.

I was blown away by how cool this wall looked with all the staples but no posters. Pretty wild, yeah?
