Finding Joy in the Odd

You could say I'm known around the cafe as being the cook who puts odd combinations together - but in delicious ways.

Like this salad I made for the 4th of July



As you know, I love to mix fruit in with my salad, but this time I added a garnish of hemp seeds that were healthy and delicious!

My odd combinations had me thinking, so this post is a collection of photos of things that popped up in odd places.

It started with this.


I was walking to work and noticed the pretty roses - and then I realized they were growing in the middle of a huge evergreen.







That got me noticing other things.

Like this flower that sprouted from a crack in a front yard.




Or this pinwheel in a garden.





Probably the funniest was this random ear of corn sitting on the sidewalk. I'm assuming it fell out of someone's shopping cart.







As you can see, it made a great dinner for some critter since this was what it looked like 24 hours later!


I noticed these signs today. Someone has a sense of humor.



There was another one that I didn't take a photo of because the sign said it was only for crows, so if you were a human, stop looking at it!


As you might imagine, living in the city, I do a lot of walking. Noticing all the unusual or pretty things along the way helps pass the time.

So, tell me, what unusual things have you noticed in your neck of the woods?


Edited to add this - sometimes it's weird and unnerving. My daughter texted me this photo from her subway. Someone left 2 cartons of eggs sitting in the subway car. A suspense writer's mind goes wild.
