On a related topic, the weekend thaw of the snow piles has resulted in a surprising amount of garbage and gloves on the sidewalk. I think there’s a connection between the litter and the gloves, but I can’t be sure.

What would have been just a run-over can with rings turned poignant with a plastic straw sticking out the top.

Don’t worry, it’s more high school than milk carton. Litter would make me crazier if I didn’t find the occasional treasure, like this.

Found object: the letter E

The letter E is popular because it’s a vowel. Still, there was no explanation why this letter was on the sidewalk outside a fast food place. It looks like the lowest bar of the E is contemplating a getaway, but for where?

This is the largest found object ever featured on the blog. The hurricane dropped this wrecked jet ski on the sand and it’s not going anywhere.

Let me share this broken shuttlecock with you. I’m short on pictures of Brooklyn at the moment and this has been sitting on the counter waiting for some attention. I guess it can be recycled with the plastics?
Found object: Photo of girl on horse

Cute kid, cute horse. The photo I found was little, so there were probably a few of them; I’d feel bad if I found an 8 x 10 of this. I’d also feel bad if the person holding the horse were wearing Livestrong bracelets.

The rain hit this tea biscuit and it swelled up and now looks like a lilliputian life raft.

Seen on the pavement. Discarded Little Trees often come in sets. There was a yellow one nearby, but it had white letters printed on a yellow background, so I couldn’t tell what its scent was, and I wasn’t going to get real close and read it.
