POTD: Fallen 1

This week, we will have a series I call “Dying Snowmen Of Rockville.” Our snow people are slowly melting. There is something about them that fascinates me.

POTD: Bullet

Again, just across Gude at the big rusty storage tank. I like how the fence post looks like a bullet, or a rocket.

POTD: Gate

This is not technically in Rockville, it is just the other side of Gude. But I thought it was a cool image. There’s this big storage tank — for what, I know not — and the juxtaposition of the gate and the rust attracted my eye.

POTD: Pillow

I love this bare set of branches, used as a lawn ornament. It never has any foliage. Its starkness is appealing to me. Once in a while, I see things hung on it, as if it is a bit of a lost and found. Usually it’s hats and mittens. Never a cervical pillow!

(Yes I know this was taken before the snow . . . but not long before!)

POTD: Intersect

Another cool shot by Rockville Central reader Temperance Blalock.

POTD: Corner

Cool night shot in the snowy aftermath by Rockville Central reader Temperance Blalock.

POTD: Slide

Thanks to Rockville Central reader Linda Bozzonetti for this scene depicting some of the aftermath of Snowpocalypse 2011.

POTD: Honk

Yes, that’s the King Farm house in the background.

POTD: Thanks

The other morning, I found this at the foot of my driveway.

POTD: Death Ray Veiled

Another cool one by Cindy Cotte Griffiths. “At this very moment they are covering the death ray windows. I don’t have a contact at the GSA but i really want to find out what they are doing! Is this the solution?”

POTD: Amphibian On Ice

This one is by editor Cindy Cotte Griffiths. Of it,she says: “He can’t read the “NO SKATING” sign. We caught this little frog fellow at Stoneridge Pond during his slippery journey. Once you get out to the middle, there really is no turning back.” Indeed.

POTD: Flowers

I think this is a very handsome display in a neighbor’s front window. I love it when people put indoor flowers in places people can see.

POTD: Hoop

I love brightly colored artificial things when they contrast with white snow. Like this strip of plastic.

POTD: Path

You might have noticed I am sort of doing a ‘study’ of the Chestnut Lodge housing development. . . .

POTD: Irked

Here’s a sign on the lawn of the neighbors of Pumphrey’s funeral home. They appear to be exercising their First Amendment right to let people know they are unhappy with the outcome of a recent vote by the Mayor and Council. The sign is generating some heat in local residents’ email inboxes.
