There I Was, Minding My Own Business
Every now and then one comes unexpectedly across a really strange creature.
This delightful critter is the creation of Kurt Halbritter and is called a barefooter (Barfüßer) or pedarius nudus peregrinatorum. Halbritter made sketches of the barefooter in the 1970s, and in 2016 Siegfried Böttcher made it into a bronze sculpture. It now stands and waits to surprise unsuspecting strollers in the Brentano Park in Frankfurt as part of several art objects titled “Comical Art”.

Sea of Traffic
The transportation grid operating on an infinite number of levels crashed to the lowest level because of a feasibility overload. Cars which were normally flying on an infinite number of levels while maintaining their same functionality suddenly had to watch their bumpers. It was turmoil!
Brown – but the Right Kind of Brown
The one in the middle on the right side is a little bit too dark. The one in front of it is a tad too light. I think the one in the front on the left has the perfect brown!

Men of a Certain Age
Am I man-bun shaming here? I guess I am.
(PS: It’s a full blown midlife crisis. I know him. He’s going through second puberty. A lot less fun than second childhood.)

Heliotropium indicum
One of the little plants I found near the beach in Cyprus, heliotropium indicum. So called because the flowers were believed to turn towards the sun (i.e. heliotropium), why indicum (i.e. Indian) I don’t know.

Little Edible Baubles and Bigger Edible Baubles
I have a new app on my cell phone and I have a suspicion that in future my last photo on the phone might usually be from this app. It’s a plant identifying app called Flora incognita and it has been very helpful on holiday but I’ve used it at home in the past few days. Although Brian wants no explanation but I am quite chuffed to mention that this is amaranthus retroflexus or redroot pigweed. That’s the last photo on the phone’s SD card.
I’ve been known to have popped amaranth in my müsli. Which is also true for grapes.
Last on my camera’s SD card.
