The photo this week is something of a challenge to describe. It looks like a cast iron bowl…perhaps a birdbath painted white. There are large cast iron skeleton keys in the bowl. To the left is a bunch of artificial roses. Hanging from one key in the center is a paper tag on a string.

The photo is a photo of a man taking a photo with his camera of a fruit plate, a cup of coffee, and a glass of orange juice. Behind the food and drinks is an iPad with a black and white photo of a man painting.

In this week’s photo we see the top of some sort of wooden cabinet. On top of it is a rust colored bucket with a handle close to the top rim. There are other objects next to it but I can’t tell what they are.

The photo looks to be a lattice or wooden fence covered with spider webs and vines. From the way the photo is framed it almost appears to be a window. Through the openings we see green grass, a tree, and the sky. The webs are so thick they look like they’re made from yarn of thick thread.

The prompt this week is on the side of a road. To the left there’s a line of parked cars. It looks like the photo was snapped in autumn as there are fallen leaves along the curb. The foliage in the picture is still pretty green so it’s probably not late fall. In the foreground is a road sign with arrows, one black one pointing down and a curved red arrow pointing up. There’s a yield sign icon at top right of the sign.

This week’s photo has us inside what appears to be an art gallery with blue walls. Hanging from a square light fixture are red and golden ornaments. There are canvasses on the blue wall. One painting is of a floral arrangement. To the left there’s another section with red wall.

This week’s picture was taken from Rochelle's back door. In the dark you can make out her deck with it’s white deck lights. Trees are silhouetted against a bright sunset. This was taken in December so there are no leaves on the trees.

The photo shows a little cafe from the outside. In front of one of the windows is a statue of a chef. There are three narrow picnic tables that look like they’re built into the side of the building. The sign above the roof reads, “Shelly’s Cafe and has the logo for Route 66. Along the roof is red, white and blue bunting, probably for the 4th of July.
