FREAKS OF NATURE

From Webster, South Dakota

On a cross country drive I went 500 miles out of my way to see “The World’s Largest Hairball”.

Found in a cow’s stomach, it is 37 inches around.

Upon closer inspection it seems to be from Kansas, but no note as to why it now resides in South Dakota.

 

From Pray, Montana

A double rainbow over my front yard.

The second of two that I saw that summer.

 

From Ketchum, Idaho

The sheep and the sage looked like they were made from each other.

As I took the picture, he noticed.

TOP HAT AND …

From Amenia, New York

Found at the top of the closet in a run down McMansion.

A ladies’ beaverskin riding hat.

Circa 1920

Such beautiful curves that I wanted to steal it.

 

From Saugatuck, Michigan

On a cross country drive I stopped to visit my cool friend Ken Krayer.

He lent me this.

Here it is closed.

 

You turn the end, and it opens like this.

“What is it?” I asked

“I don’t know.” he said, “But objects find you, you don’t find them”.

It looks vaguely sinister.

11 inches long.
