A Day of Many Options!

First had some splashes of rain frozen in time photographed. But all were a touch underexposed.

Then was thinking a snail brought out from the rain was a good choice. But was beaten to it by hebsjournal. And she did a much better one than I.

Took a run to the landfill. These signs made us laugh greatly. But again not the best photo. I could've been much closer, taken it from a more interesting angle, yadda yadda.

Finally came upon a "Leave something/Take something" area. Stuff that was ok for someone. But you had to get tham out of your life. There were a few slightly damaged toys. I liked this mighty stallion as a photo subject.

But in the end I had to go with this broken trainer from a future Tour De France Champion.
