Odds and Ends

 

All kinds of things catch my eye and since I'm carrying around a camera on my iPhone, I snap a lot of photos.  Many of them get deleted but some hang around ready to be used in some way. Here is a few from the last three weeks.  Above is a row of green chairs sitting outside a restaurant.  

I spotted these new bike racks in a pedestrian area near the art museum.  It's designed to use the abbreviation for Phoenix, PHX to form the rack.

While I was admiring the bike rack, I turned to see the late afternoon sun making shadows on the side of the art museum.  

I also saw a display of one of the self-driving cars that are now being tested on the streets of Phoenix.  The company is called Waymo and they are starting to take passengers on test drives.  There will be a driver on board during this test period.

These last two shots are just for fun.  I recently bought a pair of shoes at Nordstroms but they didn't have my size in stock so they mailed a pair to me.  When I opened the package, I found two shoes in different patterns.  Needless to say, I returned them and finally got the ones I wanted.

I snapped this last shot so I could text it to a friend.  In 1991, I traveled to Paris with a friend and while we were there, we took a train to the site of the Paris Disneyland that was under construction at that time. The theme park was going to be called Euro Disney back then.  I bought this sweatshirt as a souvenir and I still wear it today.  It's over 40 years old and still looking like new.
