Lost Spork, Jax Beach
As soon as I wonder why only spoons are abandoned, someone tosses away a spork.
Fine graphics - and I had to laugh about the word "spork", hitherto unknown to me.
This is one of the gifts of photography, as I see it: learning to see (again, in my case) and enjoy those found things just for their visual appearance.
Thank you Markus. The spork is one of the most useless inventions of our time. The little fork tines can't pick up anything and make the spoon bowl useless due to leakage. It's one of those ideas that must have sounded good at the time.
There's a wonderful quote from Dorothea Lange that I have up in my office.
"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera"
I know this is supposed to be sand (okay, I think this is supposed to be sand) but with it's texture it looks like concrete. Same with the WOW! photo. I like this effect.

James, I remember this quote from her biography - a good read about a tremendously courageous woman - and certainly a sentence to behold.

You are right, it's cement, the sidewalk actually. I'd love to be able to get sand to behave this well.
