Many thanks to Danette for hosting this week's challenge. She's come up with a great theme, I'm looking forward to seeing the odd, strange or unusual things folks have photos of!!
Here are mine:
1) Funky Cat. You'd think this guy would live in or near a kid's playground? No, I found him at the Lowell Astronomical Observatory in Flagstaff, AZ!!
2) Back To Bass-ics. I saw this quirky wooden sculpture at the National Botanical Gardens, Wales.
3) Cool Dude. This guy can be found outside Crusoe's shop in Saundersfoot, Wales. Each Spring and Summer he wears a different hat and clothes.
Cool cat, cellist and dude
ReplyDeleteThanks Anders :-))
DeleteLOL cool "Quirky" shots Mitch love em all nice work;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Baz :-))
DeleteThat cat is quirky and way cool. The wooden man with the bass... had few man hours involved (unless he was a chainsaw sculpture) either way he is fantastic! The last shot is a cute little guy in an odd and quirky way. All three are great shots for the theme!
ReplyDeleteThanks Danette :-)) The wooden sculpture is all hand-crafted.
DeleteHi Mitch, first thank you for choosing my photo for the banner. I am very honored.
ReplyDeleteI understand astronomers are known for quirky sense of humor, so I find your blue cat right at place at the Lowell Observatory. The ring around his eye is a nice touch. Then the wooden bass-ist: very unique. Was he sculpted from the tree upon whose base he sits? And the cool dude is cool! Quirky, but very cool. I wonder about the yellow flower pinned to him. Three great shots.
Thanks Benni :-)) I don't think the wooden sculpture was carved from a single tree-trunk. There appears to be at least two different types of wood in the sculpture. The yellow flower pinned to the t-shirt of the 'cool dude' is a daffodil. That shot was taken just after St David's Day. St David is the patron saint of Wales, and the daffodil is the traditional symbol for it.
Deletehi mitch strange things so quirky indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nico :-))
DeleteNever realised that Wales could be such a quirky place. Love the bloke with the hat and the base player. An interesting cat sculpture
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat :-)). Yes, lots of quirky things here in Wales!!
DeleteWow...no doubt, three quirky shots!!! The bottom one is my favourite...very cool guy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Belita :-))
DeleteWow, Mitch! Theses are indeed quirky shots. I think Danette selected a great theme. My favorite is the wooden man.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robert :-))
