Simon and I have gotten into the habit of taking a brisk walk every morning. Well, I have gotten into the habit. Since Simon is is not mobile and is in the habit of hanging out wherever he is placed, he rides along in the mei tai, looks at the world for 10 minutes and then falls fast asleep. But, to quote Annie, I digress.

While Simon and I were on our morning walk/nap today, I really wished that I would have had my camera with me. There were two images, completely different from one another, that I had a strong urge to photograph.

There was an elderly man in the yard of one of the houses I walked by. He was bent over low and shuffling along with tiny steps. I was momentarily concerned and getting ready to offer assistance when I noticed the white and brown spotted rabbit about 4 feet away from him. It was a fleeting shot, one I never would have captured anyways unless I had been walking around with my camera at the ready, but I would have loved to have tried to capture the moment.

The second image is one I wanted to photograph due to its sheer absurdity. I was walking by a house with a couple of cow statues in the yard. I am not sure if this is common in the rest of the United States or if it only a Wisconsin thing, but yes, stores sell small statues of cows to put in the yard as decorations. This home had a little family of mama cow and the smaller calf. Walking by, I noticed that mama cow had been decorated for Halloween. She was wearing a pig mask. It tickled my funny bone.
