Dreamin' of vacation

Reader Eileen spotted this one in her neighborhood. We love suburban carnage!

Shallow

Unemployable

Friend of the site Howard Weaver rediscovered this one from 2004 in a recent compilation of GWB press photo highlights and thought of us!

Run down

Can't handle

Karen has a great eye for spotting this remnant. Thanks, girl!

Lemon

Well you can quite see
How this one's going to end
Not recycling week.

Dustpan

Remember when I thought Dutch Umbrellas were such a raaaaare, exotic find? Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket.

Rorschach

What do you see here?
Remember - no wrong answers!
Little Miss Muffet.

Rustic

Another oldie from the 'I'll just carry this enormous 35mm around with me all the time. How hard can photography be?' file.

Benched

Ran to the 8:12
Early torrential downpour
Still waiting for bus

Snapped by Adam who also wrote the haiku! Thanks for making our job easy, and, um, keep those taxi numbers handy!

Spare a quarter?

The younger (wiser, taller, funnier) sibling has been on a roll lately. Thanks Karen!

Gordita

Think outside Gortex
And see what happens? You lose
Now feed me taco.

Dehydrated

Flowers need water
We Umbrellas need water
Sigh. The irony.

McDone-for

I don't know hunger
My life has just one purpose
I'm not lovin' it

Another from Karen in Spanish Harlem. Thanks girl!

Hangin' out

Oh I'm not done yet!
Showing off my best feature
Hoping to be saved

Little sis amazes us yet again. Thanks, Karen!

No shirt, no shoes

I know how this looks
Emergency script, right? OR
Half price Christmas snacks!

Spotted outside a midtown Duane Reade. Thanks, sis!

Reservations required

Me and coffee cup
Bringing down the curb appeal
Of Philly's Vetri


Special thanks, Whitney!

The elephant in the room

Oh come on! What if
I was a dollar bill, then
you'd see me here, right?

Love this one from Alanna!

Len spotted this one in Chester, PA. Thanks for sending in another, Len!

S'no excuse

A wrinkle here, there
Leaving in a hurry, see?
Fashion Ave roadkill.


Guess who? Thanks, Chayoung for sending our first winter weather shot!

Babushka

Judgey McJudger
I'm just sayin' – this isn't
Some dude's umbrella

Stop the presses

Tucked in the corner
How did you end up right here?
Inquiring minds

Thanks, Whitney!

Missing Mary

Poppins made it look
So easy, breezy – but Not
Supercalisoaked.

Thanks to reader Volkan for spotting this flyaway in Manhattan's West Village!

The rainbow connection

Rainbows are visions.
Rainbow 'brellas that cover
Are just illusions.

Oh bother

Funny little bear
Stick to eating the hunny
Not keeping kids dry

Tracked down

Broad Street train station
Reader Jaime spotted this
Blown or thrown? Who knows?

Thanks Jaime!
