Interesting & different picture, Kerouac. I just went through this entire thread from the beginning. It's full of wonderful images. The last one on page four, #119, apparently got completely overlooked when the thread went to the next page. Go see -- it's fabulous!

Did people cluck their tongues as they walked by and saw you photographing this poor unfortunate, K2?

No witnesses. Unfortunate? This is a Parisian! This is on the Champs Elysées! Aren't all Parisians fortunate?

Was he barefoot all winter? Does HE feel fortunate to be a Parisian? At least, if he gets hungry, the garbage cans behind the restaurants probably hold better discards than the trash cans in other locales...

He had moon boots under the bench.
However, there is a filthy, really disgusting barefoot bum who lives on the Champs Elysées. He even walks around barefoot in the snow. This winter I saw a poor naive tourist give him a new set of sneakers and a jacket, which he had obviously just bought for the occasion to multiply his karma. The very next day, the bum was barefoot again, out of choice. No jacket either. He either threw away the sneakers or sold them -- who knows?
I saw him the day before yesterday, totally black with filth as usual. He seems happy.

MARMITE!! And not one but two jars. I've gone right off you Cheery. And peanut butter, tut tut.
What's the little yellow jar to the left? Lemon curd? And you have Carnation?

The two jars is the first thing I noticed, too. I also know now who buys tinned potatoes.

In my defence the marmite and peanut butter are for OH and son (I can't stand the stuff)...and the tinned taters have been in the cupboard for over a year (got them in for son when OH and I went away for a holiday)....I'm not a baaaaad person really....and I wear groovy socks.

Lemon curd is for the cakes I made for comic relief, as are the rest of the cherries and the icing sugar....ran out of room on the 'baking products' shelf.....(damn but you've got good eyesight Mark!) and OH is the Carnation addict....

No worries, Cheery -- I have some grim inmentionables in my cupboards as well, and I can't even claim that they were bought for other people. I think I might have a jar of peanut butter that is more than 10 years old.

Oh, belated thanks for the kind comments above!
These are amazing pictures. I like how the visual surprise is hiding in plain sight in Kerouac's, the delicate coloration and extreme contrasts of texture in Cheery's, and the wonderful forms in Kimby's. Kimby, you even managed to capture the sparkle just right -- hard to do! The spoiler pics are great too.

The inside of the bark from a beetle-killed tree. The tunnels caused by the larvae eating their way through the cambium layer "girdle" the tree, starving it of water and nutrients, and it dies.
