this is why
I look down when I walk
by a gutter

Lovely picture. Thanks for walking by my way.

There's always beauty in the least expected places. That's a great shot, Clare.
Give Moose a big schmooshie kiss from Maisie!
Hi Rose! Thank you! I always enjoy stopping by your place, my dear!
:)
Hi Linda! Thank you! I've always loved looking at gutters because they are ever-changing art. Big schmooshie kisses back to Maisie from the Moose!!
:)
Ah, to see water flowing again ... that is a beautiful picture, Clare.
Have a lovely weekend,
kate ox
Very cool picture. You have a wonderful eye for finding beauty in the obscure.
And well you should! Unexpectedly refreshing imagery. I like it.
:-)
lovely photo and yes i look down at gutters too,
never looked at a gutter that way but the way you show it it does look pretty
Hi Kate! Thank you! I especially love gutter-watching in the winter when water flows and the way it positions leaves and petals and stuff -- yesterday was even more amazing out there, but it was too rainy to use my camera.
:)
Hi Herb! Thank you! It's fun to go out in the world and watch for things that are surprising and beautiful or even just plain weird.
:)
Hi A.Decker! Thank you! Nature always has amazing unexpected moments of beauty when we're not in a big hurry.
:)
Hi Crafty! Thank you! I bet you find all kinds of cool things for your crafts, too -- I think of you whenever I find stuff!
:)
Hi Marja! Thank you! What's cool about gutters is how the wind and leave-blowers and rain etc., arrange things in gutters -- I never move things around before taking a gutter-art photo because I like to have nature be the artist. It's fun.
:)
Ihaven't been by in ages and look what a beauty is here on the day I come. Beautiful!
That's a beautiful photograph, very delicate found image. Congratulations on your Best Blogging Buddies Award!
A beautiful picture. I'll have to turn over a new leaf and look down myself.
Great picture Once I found a twenty dollar bill in the gutter and that's why I always look down in a gutter!
Lovely photograph and words. It's amazing what you can see on the ground.
absolutely beautiful! I love the pattern of the ripples in the water. I wish I had more time to visit because you always inspire me!
You remind us the duality of things, that gutters can be beautiful. Thank you, Clare.
Nice haiku, Clare!
