Every time you go to someone's place for dinner or what-have-you, you know that if they're going to use paper plates, they're going to look like this!

We have an ancient measuring cup a lot like this. I guess the dishwasher removed all the numbers and lines. I still use it, because why not? It's fun to guess, and sue me if there's any big difference between a third of a cup,  and a quarter of one. 

Someone's desert Mansion appears heavily fortified.

On the other hand, when people decided to abandon this mossy-roofed farm, they seem to have said, "Let's get outta here RIGHT NOW!," leaving behind a ladder and who knows what-all else.

I also don't know what happened to this tree. Could be wind damage, maybe kids bouncing on a weak limb, but it showed a lot of heart❤️.

People will speculate about this forever, but who can say why, with acres and acres of total destruction in the Palisades fire out west, this one blue VW microbus escaped unscathed? 

This week's free wallpaper shows an on-ramp at the beginning of a beautiful day, or an off-ramp at the end of one.

It doesn't have to be a glamorous setting. The best photos combine light and dark, angles, and something special that makes you keep looking. 

Paul Simon once described a "freshly-fallen silent shroud of snow." Here's some snow sliding off a car hood like a plush snuggly blanket.

I don't know if it's a porcupine or a platypus, but ain't it cute?
