When your last name is 'Weiser' ...

Fall Colors In The Rain

Sorta perks up the bus stop, doesn't it?


Fall colors frame the Steensland Mansion

It used to be a thrift shop for the Bethel Lutheran Church but it's been closed now for quite a while. It desperately needs somebody to move in and make it a home (not a block of flats). If I had a million dollars ...

Riddle in the Fridge

I'm sure there was a very good reason for these three empty egg shells to be so carefully kept on a special plate in the back of the fridge. Maybe some day I'll even find out what it was.

Hideous Kinky

I took my camera to the streets of Madison over the noon hour, looking for a subject I worthy of these pages.

What would I find? Something with an autumnal theme? Something historical? Maybe college coeds enjoying the last warm days of summer?

And then my eyes beheld it: The ugliest apartment block I'd ever seen.

Hideous Kinky III

The owner attempted to dress it up a bit with some colored flags. Looks like an art project done in the last fifteen minutes of the night before it was due.



Hideous Kinky IV

Please. This is too painful. Make the pain stop.

Mars Attacks!

These lamps frame the entrance to a cafe outside the National Gallery.



In the lobby at the National Gallery

This Calder sculpture swings and bobs in the updrafts.



On the lawn at the National Gallery

I'm pretty sure this is a spaceship masquerading as sculpture. Pretty clever camoflague, really.

Gen. George Meade gets some help with his coat

Join the army, work your way up to general, slaughter thousands of your opponents' troops and thereafter naked nymphs will attend to your every need.

I've heard about something like this ...



Death gets a nose job

Standing at the back of Gen. Meade's memorial, Death's impact is lessened somewhat by appearing to have a drunkard's nose.



Seen on the Streets of D.C.

This is the bicycle (tricycle?) I want for Christmas!
