Decomposition of organic matter produces heat. On rare occasions compost heaps have been known to spontaneously start smoldering. So I've come up with this: "ROT is HOT".
An X-ray image of a dandelion puffball reveals its skeletal structure, which ominously resembles a crazy staring eyeball.
I'll bet anything that door hasn't been opened in quite some time.

I continue to be slightly under the weather, and I've also stayed awake all night for several days in a row, sleeping during the day, so lately my outdoor activity has been drastically curtailed. But today I felt a little better than I've felt in days, so I went out and took a light walk around the neighborhood.
I'd thought the azalea season would have been mostly over while I've been self-confined, so imagine my surprise and delight (nay, shock and awe!) when just three blocks from my door I turned a corner and beheld this sight!

Verbal synchronicity!
Just now I was checking out the blurbs on my YouTube recommendations and simultaneously listening to a video about a movie. Just as my eyes alighted on the words "...blah blah ever made", I heard the narrator in the video say "...blah blah ever made".
(By the way, the movie review was of Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky and the video recommendation was about The Ambassadors, the painting by Holbein the Younger. I guess they both deserve the hyperbolic description in their respective ways).
No idea what this used to be part of, but now it sure looks like a face groaning "Ughhh...". Maybe it was struck by that rock (that Goliath-style rectangular "bruise" high up on its head does look rather suspicious).
This image is an old one. So old in fact, that I was very surprised to find I had never posted it here. But I checked three times to make certain and the results were negative, so here it is, belatedly.
Exploring old rundown buildings as I like to do, coming upon a likely candidate with an ominous shadowy staircase, starting to climb down -- then suddenly realizing I'm being watched, have been under watch from the moment I took the first step inside. By an upside-down cartoon character. With huge round staring eyes.
Almost had a heart attack.
But just sometimes, Real Life can also mean something humorous.
I'm pressing on the upward way
New heights I'm gaining every day...
I'm not formally religious, but I am friendly disposed toward a few select religions, Christianity being one of them. When I saw these two iconic objects fortuitously juxtaposed in the golden light of the setting sun, it was the best visual pun on a hymn ever.
I was on my way out when I came upon this pair of runners in the lobby.
It was late afternoon and the lights hadn't come on yet, hence the bad lighting despite my effort to lighten the images. Anyway, a couple of hours later I came back; now the lights were on (still not great though) and the shoes were still there in their corner, but in the meantime someone had taken the trouble to straighten them out neatly.
