Some bird's nest!

Somebody's old mattress wound up in a tree after a recent downpour. I wish people would not chunk items into the creeks. My guess is that some homeless person was probably using this mattress to sleep on and it washed away.

I Lost My Head

Look up when visiting Uncommon Objects on SoCo and you might find some taxidermy you can get without killing anything.

Clever Decoration

Chuy's has always been known for clever decoration using old collections of stuff. Noticed the other day that the one on Barton Springs sports old speakers from drive-in movies on its railing. Remember those? They would hang in your car window and bring a crackling sound track to the movie on a giant screen while everyone else sat in their cars watching with you but in their own little cocoon.

Does not Access Internet

This interesting old Oliver Typewriter was for sale the other day at Uncommon Objects on South Congress.

Another Shot of Collectible

Yep, you can find almost anything on South Congress.

Uncommonly Elvis

Go collectible shopping on South Congress and these prizes can be yours.

Uncommonly Second Place

One of the most fun places on South Congress, Uncommon Objects, had a clever window display when we walked by last Sunday. Sad little vintage paintings of, um, questionable quality were 'awarded' various vintage second place ribbons. Priceless.

Head and Hands

Taken by FFP with his iPhone in a antique and junk shop on South Congress. Shopping SoCo is very eclectic!

Theme Day: Metal

We are soon leaving our big yard and its junk metal musicians behind. This is a detail of the innards of the sousaphone player. I've shown you some of this sculpture before. The French horn player here and the trumpet player here. Since I soon won't own that backyard I thought it most appropriate for theme day to show it. We are probably leaving most of the band behind for the new owners but we are probably selling the trumpet player since we found a willing buyer.

The City Daily Photo group always has a theme day on the first of the month. This month's theme is metal
